Really nice again, Peter. The light is great. Bob, the airports that are disappearing are small general-aviation fields out in rural or semi-rural areas, home to Piper Cubs and small Cessnas and the like. When I was a kid in Connecticut I rode my bike 5 miles to the Bethany Airport, just to nose around, talk to people, and watch the planes. Alas, it became an industrial park 15 or 20 years ago.
