I've never been to "DIA" .. wherever that might be.


DIA = Denver International Airport


And now for several variations...

DIA = Denver's Imaginary Airport

Mayor "Fed" only imagined Denver needed a new airport... it didn't and
doesn't Stapleton was one of the best airport around for getting into
town, from parking to the gate, from the gate to parking... 3 miles
from downtown Denver. However, Mayor "Fed" got his federal job
at DOT, so DIA did some good... it got "Fed" out of Denver!

DIA = "Done in August... no, Done in April, no Done in August",
as the delays went on and on...

Even so, before DIA officially opened, we had a General Aviation
fly-in... and I have a picture of my airplane at the jetway for gate
"B37". :-) The universal comment from the GA pilots was "Lets do
this again next weekend"!
