Pearson International? YOW will be Mulroney International...

[August1991]

Idlewild became JFK

Malton became Pearson. Dorval became Trudeau. No doubt we'll name Ottawa's airport after Mulroney.

In Quebec City, it is Lesage. And in Halifax, it is Stanfield. When Harper dies, YYC will become Harper International.

=====

I've always liked New Orleans. Its airport is Louis Armstrong International.

And in France, before the euro, France had Berlioz on its 10 franc note.

maybe its because I experienced the golden age of air travel

but I can't abide airports anymore

and Pearson could be the worst in the world

Lester Boyes Pearson rolls in his grave

 if I can't drive to a destination, I ain't going

although thankfully the only place I would bother to travel to now,  is Red State America

Golden age? I remember very costly DC-8s - and Lester Bowles Pearson.

I remember Freddie Laker.
