Got some Star Wars geeky juju happening at the moment.
This was not photoshopped by me.

Has anyone alerted Orange County that there is a Death Star lurking in their neighborhood?

Figured I’d post landing at St. Barth from the pilots perspective to round things out. :grin:

Also. What psychopath designs an airplane with the throttles on the overhead panel!?!?! They look so awkward and uncomfortable to use!

Here’s where I break out my Meigs story: Ready kids? Just kidding. You guys have heard it a thousand times. I too am still bitter. May Mayor Daley soon rot in hell if he’s not there already.

BTW, I think I’ve just figured out the FlightAware X-wing thing. My airline wastes massive amounts of money on stupid Hollywood promotions. The current one (soon the whither one hopes) is for the latest Star Wars. When you order your coke here it comes with a napkin with a pair of X-Wings painted in United blue. And while you drink you will be tortured with a very bad SW-themed safety demo. So, somehow, we probably managed to pay off not just Disney but also the people at Flightaware. Or, equally likely, they are one and the same.

Meigs may be gone but it’s a park on a waterfront now. Better then some cordoned off fancy area for the rich that nobody ever gets to enjoy… That’s something…

That was one argument voiced for getting rid of the airport. I’m pretty sure I read that the park is under utilized by the general public.

I think they should bulldoze the park in the middle of the night and build something useful in it’s place…like like an airport maybe? :crazy_face:
