So how do we make the
airport more SOCIAL?


I dunno ... I have never seen any sort of social life at any of the
airports that I've been to, much less anything I'd think my wife would
be interested in. Most of the airports I've visited have been lifeless,
depressing places. If there was some sort of social life associated with
aviation, I think it could maybe get my wife interested in flying


Social activities at an airport are often spur of the moment things, and --
as a result -- hard to find. Many are put together by (and for) the
regulars that hang out there on a daily basis, which is truly a shame.
It's hard to grow aviation when it becomes ingrown like that, but I think
it's more a function of the airport environment than a reflection of the
people involved.


add to that the idiotic "security" measures put in place (and continuing to be
put in place) and the airport isn't going to get more social. :-(
