Let’s see if the local basketball team can hold a lead!

Gillette has way more parking than that usually… right? Is this security?

more like last-on Martin

oh, wow.

They had no good answer on that; all the options were very expensive.

Actually pulling into the Union station garage was intriguing, but likely an engineering challenge.

They needed to not install tracks with the Great Streets project.

747s, yeah, it I don’t think anyone ever pulled the trigger on a 380 for this… Malaysia Airlines thought about it…

except the coach-only A380 is a paper airplane; nobody ever configured it that way for actual service.

The highest capacity was one subfleet for Emirates with a max of 615 passengers, and that’s only a fraction of their overall fleet.

The streetcar’s issue wasn’t H street, but it still missed the other connections beyond the corridor… and largely because of the decision to lay down tracks too early before key decisions were made.

I am not making any claim on those airports, just that LAX can take more flights.

Total movements are substantially below a 2018 peak, and even then, gates were LAX’s constraint, not runways.

LAX’s runway configuration, airspace, and weather are all much more favorable than JFK.

They can run parallel simultaneous approaches and departures.

Whatever data one maps, Madison looks like Madison.
