Everybody hates airport parking because it's soooo far out there, then they move it closer.. Hate it even more.

Can't win.

PDX has a pretty good parking garage. Right next to the terminal and they've got a nifty "here's an empty spot" overhead lighting system (green/red lights above each slot), so you can tell if there's a parking spot from waaaaay far down the lane.

They have that light system at the Tyson's Corner Mall, and it is absolutely wonderful. For real. Better than sliced bread. You don't even turn into a lane of parked cars if you see no green lights.

Then you find some fool standing in the spot saving it for a friend.

Gravdigr · 02-26-2019, 01:40 PM

A friend leaves their home to go to the parking garage and stand there holding a spot for you?

Shit, I can't even get a ride to the bar.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-26-2019, 02:13 PM

No, they notice an open spot a row or two over and the passenger jumps out and walks through to save the spot while the driver circles around.
Many people carry passengers who are friendly and helpful, not everyone is like you and me.

I don't know anyone like that.

A selection of aircraft using the 'Mach Loop' low flying area in Wales.
Includes aircraft of the RAF, USAF, RCAF and Czech Republic AF.
The RCAF colour scheme is eye catching, shall we say.
The RAF A400 at the 1.00m mark is a sight worth seeing. Embiggen.*

Oh, yeah...The reason for coming to this thread:

Happy Birthday Kelly Johnson. He'd have been 109.

Designed, or led the design teams for the SR-71, U-2, 1st aircraft to go over 400 mph, Mach 2, Mach 3, 1st operational jet fighter, the Lockheed Model 10 Electra, F-104 Starfighter, P-38 Lightning, Constellation, F-117 Nighthawk, C-130 and about three, or four dozen other aircraft.

The world would be a very different place without him. At the least it would look and sound different.

Thank God he was on our side.

It would be sort of fun to watch:
