Airport runs

The Erie International Airport is an easy 13 miles from our place--22-25 minutes on a good day.

We make runs to and from there regularly, usually at the crack of dawn. Tomorrow's four pre-noon departures are at 6:00, 6:12; 6:15 and 11:40 A.M. not likely to give O'Hare any competition! Despite its modest schedule the 60-100 passenger small jets are usually quite full and the total number of people that go through ERI in a year tops a million.

I had to make a run yesterday and was delightfully surprised to see the updates and changes that have been made recently. The first photo is the pre-security waiting area. About 80% of it is shown. The next is a wall of Erie businesses--very contemporary and the third is a look across the waiting area where a nice drop in for a quick drink or quick breakfast restaurant is offered. I was told a coffee bar has also been added on the other side of security. Clean, fresh, welcoming. A very nice appearance overall, I'd say.

P.S. The word "international" is a local joke. I guess there was, at one time, a flight to Canada, but not in my lifetime! The name has stuck--impressive if nothing else!
