Ha. My Dad referred to his brother, a minister, as our family's "sky pilot". I guess the Pope trumps my uncle in that regard.

Corporate welfare at it's finest! I'm sure the city could use the $82 mil for much better purposes. Yes, let Google build and pay for it. The airport can lease the 29 acres and still receive the benefit of fuel fees and the local economy would benefit from the new jobs.

Thanks for the article. Please keep them coming. During the summer, I book morning flights to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms.

VIP visits are costly to airports and to local governments that need to provide motorcades, traffic management, crowd control, etc., and not just on "day of" the event but for the planning meetings prior to the visit.

Jack the Cat, your SIDA badge is ready for pick-up in the Airport Security Office.

Alistair, you're funny. I can just picture it. Thanks to the internet and social media, everything does seem to be blown out of proportion, eh. But seriouly, I hope the cat is found soon and reunited with its owner. I'm a cat lover/owner and I'd be extremely upset, too. I hope the owner can take some comfort in knowing that the airline and airport personnel are "on the lookout" for Jack.... and all due to social media?
