You know, I don't see kids hang on the airport fences anymore. I don't see the

Most airports I have been to have at least one geezer, and sometimes a
geezer shack. You may have to look for them though. We even found a
geezer at Van Nuys.

I am a youngish pilot and would refuse to be based at an airport without
at least 2 geezers installed.

The knowledge contained and disseminated from our local geezers is
invaluable, and unfortunately not the kind that is commonly found in
literature.
