Normy - did you every fly to Wilmington, Ohio when it was an Airborne hub? I had a friend who maintained 727s whom I met there for coffee a couple times a year. He's arrive on his Airborne plane at about 1 AM. The place was amazing. It would be dark and quiet around 11:00 PM and about midnight the warehouse lights would come on and you could look up and see landing lights stacked up like stairsteps as far as the eye could see. It was complete chaos for 3 or 4 hours, flashing clearance lights, horns, screaming jet engines - then by 5 AM you could hear crickets again. I loved it.
