News and notes from around the interweb:
- How often do planes get washed?
- The Priority Pass-accessible Sky Hub lounge in Seoul now has do it yourself Bi Bim Bap!
- Iran’s airlines were buying Boeing and Airbus planes even before sanctions were lifted
- There will be stilt walkers dressed as Uncle Sam today and on Monday at Washington Dulles and National airports. Years ago when I was an intern in DC it was still legal to have alcohol on the National Mall. I went downtown on the 4th, and helping out some friends I dressed up as Uncle Sam to hand out their branded frisbees. Several women wanted to kiss me, and everyone gave me free beer and food. No stilts required.
- Say what? Chemtrail activists want Marriott hotels to remove wall art. (HT: Paul H.) And I thought I had peculiar concerns about hotel rooms.
It’s bad enough that the reptilian power elite routinely release mind-numbing chemicals into the atmosphere in order to pacify Earth’s domesticated primates. Now they’re adding insult to injury by installing pro-chemtrail propaganda disguised as art on Mariott hotel room walls.
- Hilton will open a Conrad Hotel in Washington DC at CityCenter in 2019
- I’ll definitely plan to see Sully, the movie about US Airways fight 1549 “Miracle on the Hudson” — not least of which because it stars Tom Hanks as Captain Sullenberger and Aaron Eckhart is in it. (Spoiler: Everyone lives, and US Airways gives them Chairmans Preferred elite status for one year.)
I’ve got Sully burnout. 2 books, tv commentary, now a movie. He only landed on water, not walk on it.
Why do you insist on calling it, DCA, National. I understand that was the original name. But It’s like calling JFK Idlewild. The name was changed to Reagan almost two decades ago so the argument that DC natives call it National doesn’t even hold true anymore. I don’t care about the political aspect of it. The name is Reagan and as a DC resident, not NOVA or MD, actual real DC I call it Reagan. Besides that beef I really enjoy the blog.
@Brian I moved to DC in the summer of 1996 and lived there until the fall of 2014. I’m not making a political statement. It’s just what I always called it as a local, though newer residents don’t necessarily do that anymore.
CHAIRMAN Preferred? Where do I sign up for Airborne training? Yeee Hahhhh Cowboy
