A new photoblog about weird goings-on on airplanes and in airports. Should be a good one to keep an eye on.

They seek to replace Central Park with an airport.
Davenport, Iowa has an airport. Tallahassee has one. And so does Lexington, Kentucky. But New York City doesn’t. Amazingly, there is still a large, undeveloped and underutilized site in the center of New York City. In fact, this site has remained undeveloped for so long that many of us forget it even exists. It’s called Central Park.
They’re tearing down Yankee Stadium, why shouldn’t Central Park be next?
Breeding turtles shut down JFK runway for 90 minutes
That’s a new one. Usually the delay is some bull like weather, or my favorite, “there’s no empty gate at our destination”.
Google Maps, with it’s satellite view and street view, is one of the better time wasters on the web. I love zooming in and getting a different perspective on areas around the world.
One day I was curious if the resolution was good enough to be able to tell which airline an airplane was part of, so I took a look at LaGuardia (LGA) to see if I could make them out. I found the following picture interesting:
As you can see, there seems to be a plane halfway down the runway, taking off; one at the end of the runway, about to take off; and one a few hundred feet out, about to land. About to land?
Wow, they really stack ‘em up at LGA.
It’s 99% likely that the shot of the plane landing was taken at a different time and the sets were “stitched” together.
It’s not the best idea to go to an airport Chili’s, with their free soda refills, about an hour before a flight.
