Bird.
Newark, NJ. February 15, 2016.
My earliest memory at an airport is meeting my grandmother in Portland at night, in the days when you could wait at the gate. The firelight; the hardware that arrives, hugely, from the dark. This one flew me 3600 miles through a bumpy Atlantic night in six and a half hours, a feat it will have accomplished hundreds of times over its life, and which is no less baffling to me today than it was when I was a child. Just sayin.
