With apologies to the brilliant Martin Parr, who has published several collections of Boring Postcards that are worth checking out. This is a view of Wichita's famed Mid-Continent Airport circa 1970-75. I will try and be more diligent in posting than I have been lately.
Oky doky Wichita, consider me enticed.
ReplyDeleteThe ultramodern facilities are amazing!
ReplyDeleteaw, Keither, you should see 'em now. There's even a bar, something we couldn't have in the olden days. And a statue.
ReplyDeleteI flown out of there once.

The lighting left something to be desired, but it's in the Air Capital, so you let it be it's self.
As a 12 year old boy, in the middle of the night, I drove Russ "Lord Cessna" Meyer's station wagnon 86 miles an hour down South down Edgmore (scaring the older boys [Russ Jr. and Curtis] enough for them shriek at me pull over and surrender the wheel), so I know something about airplane things.
And THAT is a nice airport postcard, Brah.
