These are suite names that we REJECTED, on the basis of their double
entendre names...

Thus, we have no Bong Suite. (Although a "Lightning Suite" is in the
works...)


What about those frightened by storms?

Wow, and I though *I* had a twisted sense of humor...

After all, I'm the guy who came up with plans for aviation theme suites
like:

-The Hindenburg Suite
-The Lockerbie Suite
-The Experimental Suite
-The Bong Suite

...and dozens more just like them, only to be shot down by Mary....


Do those that use the Bong suite generally know it was named for a fighter
ace and not a device?

Question is...does Jay know? :~)

There is a place here in California (down by Bakersfield) called Nellie's
Nipple. It is currently in BLM conservation. I'd LOVE to establish an airport
there.

(Not to be confused with the mountain in Arizona of the same name.)

Good ol' Richard Ira? And his wife, Marge? From Superior, WI?

And his fellow P-38 pilot, good buddy (and rival) Tommy Maguire?

Nah, I don't know nuthin' about that Bong fella...

Nerd.

I was wondering if the "Bong Suite" had a portrait of Tommy Chong in the room??

The Brits name airports after rockstars!

I think that John Lennon was more than a rock star. I lived in Britain
for a while postwar, and it was a dreary place. Bad heat, bad food,
bad clothing, bad dentistry... The Beatles were the first sound of joy
that poor old island had heard in many a year. After the Beatles (and
especially after the Beatles "found" America) ("went to Iceland and
turned left:"), things began to look up.
