[Leica] [OM] IMG: Airport Miscellaneous

[Jim Nichols]

I'm glad you liked the "human interest" photos I collected. While I'm 
sure, with Bono and others arriving for Bonnaroo, that there were 
celebrities in the crowds, but I never tried to identify anyone.  They 
were all just people passing through.

I know you see us as a quaint airport, which it probably is. But, the 
airport manager told me that, from an airport business standpoint, this 
was the best Bonnaroo ever! The crew worked their tails off to park 
planes, refuel them if needed, get transportation in place, and keep 
everyone moving smoothly.  They are relaxing this week.

>> This shows some of the contrasts at the airport.  There were a number of moms who brought their kids out to watch.  Here, a young father babysits in the grass as the passengers from the arriving jets walk into the terminal building.  I couldn't help but wonder if those shoes were the cause of the banged up knee. :-\
