"Where" is my destination?

Scappoose has a restaurant on field?

Not on field, but really close. You have to park at the north end, walk
over the dirtpiles and construction, skirt around the RV park and cross the
road. Kinda screwy. It's a -really- nice bed and breakfast unless the
farmers are spraying fertilizer and/or the smell of the papermill is blowing
toward it.

Five minute walk, max. It's northwest of the airfield. There's a sign that
says "THIS WAY TO THE BARNSTORMER" leaning against the RV park fence, but
the sign doesn't exactly tell you which way.

Given that my office PC has 7S3 stored in it (thanks to multiple flight
planning programs) it's hard to imagine anything dumber, in this day and
age.

Are you kidding? The entire air trafiic system is being run on a
Commodore
64 with 48K of memory. Once you move across center boudaries only the
larger airports are stored.

A Commodore? I thought they kept it all on Rolodex cards.

Come on! Everyone knows that the Rolodex system is an expandable storage
device.

This is a perennial problem. Believe it or not, I have every
airport in the US in my obsolete, limited-memory Palm VIIX
but major TRACONS and ARTCCs don't even have some
pretty major airports outside their airspace in their database.


TRACONs don't have databases separate from ARTCCs. All flight data
processing is done by computers in ARTCCs which terminal facilities access.
