An almost-sharp blue jay for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #takeoffs. đŸȘ¶

A photo of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) in mid-flight against a soft, blurred background of beige and green tones. Its wings are folded tightly against its body and its legs are extended behind it as though it has just leapt into the air. It's facing to the left of frame, turned slightly toward the camera.

#BirdOfTheDay : un oiseau qui décolle #TakeOffs
Photo prise l'annĂ©e derniĂšre et qui me fait beaucoup rire d'un martin pĂȘcheur essayant d'imiter une fusĂ©e.

Un tamaris bordant un Ă©tang Ă  l'eau bleu-ciel intense. Au centre de la photo, en train de sauter d'une branche Ă  une autre, un martin pĂȘcheur ventre face Ă  l'objectif, les ailes rabattues sur les flancs et la tĂȘte levĂ©e. On dirait un petit missile orange. La lumiĂšre est dorĂ©e et vive car la photo a Ă©tĂ© prise peu aprĂšs le lever du soleil.

Airports I’ve used

Last Friday set an ignominious personal milestone: I broke a record for consecutive days spent away from airplanes that went back to to 2001.

Back then, the post-9/11 shutdown of commercial aviation and my own relaxed travel schedule ensured I wouldn’t board a plane between early August, when I landed at National Airport after a summer vacation in California, and early January, when I took off DCA for my first Macworld Expo. This time, the novel-coronavirus pandemic has grounded me, and it’s unclear when I’ll once again feel jet engines shove me back in my seat and watch the ground fall away from the wing.

So I might as well document the airports I used in the Before Times, having already done the research for my friend Craig Fifer’s Flight Quest project to track who among his friends had taken off from or landed at more airports. As an inveterate list-maker and avgeek, how could I not have taken part in that competition?

So here you go: the 94 95 97 98 99 100 101 102103 104 105 106 109 112 113 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 airports I’ve used listed by IATA and ICAO code, plus my comments about each.

This almost certainly isn’t complete, as before 1997 I’m limited to incomplete paper records and my own memory. But I don’t think anybody can question my lifelong effort to prop up commercial aviation.
