Last week I made my first visit to the PC airport - definitely see why people want a new airport at a new location! :blink:

I was there to pick up folks arriving via private plane, which seems a great alternative to commercial travel - on your schedule and I got to drive right onto the tarmac to pick up luggage.

With all of the current woes w/ commercial air travel, are we going to see more people choosing to travel this way?

That's quite interesting that you got to drive onto the tarmac. Lord knows a 1/2 gallon of shampoo is a terrorist threat, but a small car on a tarmac eh. :roll:

It's a different tarmac and I had a golf cart escort once they opened the gate, but it was uber cool!

Especially because Mom took full advantage of not having any luggage restrictions so I got delivery of several pieces of artwork, silverware, lots of birthday presents, and some fresh fruit! :rofl:

Oh well with a golf cart escort I'd feel much safer. :funn:

Just curious though if you would have been able to get to the main tarmac. Just seems like kinda lax security.

I was just saying that they had someone monitoring me!

Realistically, the Scootermobile wasn't going to be able to do anything/bring anything in that someone landing a private plan couldn't in terms of security issues.

Was the golf cart guy packing heat?

I think the tie-in was that existing airports are delaying renovations/additions and losing flights, so the new airport might not be the best idea or have carriers scrambling to add flights and staff to it like we've been told.
