Airport Security

.

On our way home as I write this Sunday night during another interminable layover at Dallas-Ft. Worth airport. As old TWA people, we're stuck with American Airlines if we want the perks, mostly cheap international travel. They don't have much non-stop service from St. Louis anymore. Fortunately, we have access to a nice airline lounge with free booze so there's no need for this kind of emotional outburst.

The image was found near Pike Place Market in Seattle. A bit more from the Northwest to come. Need to find some new local material.

Airports and Airplanes

Sorry, this is sort of filler, but greetings from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. In an hour we board our flight to Delhi. By the time this post goes up Friday morning in the US we'll be over Russia or the Middle East or Something-astan or I don't know what. I've loved airports since I was a child.

When I was growing up in Queens, my friends and I would ride our bikes to La Guardia and JFK (Idlewild back them). There were observation decks on the terminal roofs. The international airport was my favorite. In the background of this picture you can see the livery of United, Swiss, Aer Lingus, Turkish, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. American, our regular airline, is up front.

AND A BIG HOWDY FROM DELHI! We just got to our hotel. Smooth flight, good service. So far, so good but my brain isn't completely screwed into the socket at the moment.
