the iRiver skipping or locking up while in the aircraft?

Absolutely no problem with skipping or anything else (i.e. no
interference with on-board equipment). It performed beautifully.

I have an Archos 20Gb MP3 Jukebox that has to sit on my lap to protect it
for the slightest vibration. Otherwise, if the device sits anywhere,
including the empty copilot seat, it will lock up due the vibration and
require a hard reset.

One of the nice things about the iRiver's remote is that it allowed me
to keep the unit itself in its protective leather case, inside of my
padded camera case stuffed under the passenger's seat. The case
provided addtional shock protection, I'm sure.

The FM receiver is one of the main reasons I bought it over the ipod.
While it doesn't sound as good as mp3's, for local news and weather it's
great! :-)
