Thanks for putting such effort into that set up web pages!
This look at the LEGO airport was great. My father spent his entire
working life, working for the same airline, and mostly in the same
City (San Francisco). He started when he was in high school, and he
would wash the airplanes. Eventually, he ended up in local management,
and retired after 45+ years (with a short trip to Korea during the war).
As a result, I grew up at that airport, traveling 3-4 times a year.
In my younger years, he would sometimes take my brothers and I to work
on a weekend day, and we got to see how they moved freight, and loaded
the aircraft. As a teenager, I'd drive up to visit him once in a while.
All of the 'old timers' knew me a "Kenny's boy", and I could wander
wherever I wanted (by then, I knew where I shouldn't go. ;-)
The bottom line, because of my childhood experiences, I can really
appreciate the detail that was put into that airport, as well as also
being able to appreciate the differences between the US and European
designs (signage, markings, etc.). I can hardly wait for Carlsbad to open.
