Tomorrow the public gets to see the new Austin Bergstrom Intl Airport.
It's supposed to be impressive architecturally. How will it affect the
area now that the bigger jets can land on the runway designed for the
likes of huge military planes and Air Force One?
Because of the Colorado high school massacre, the planned landing of Air
Force One was canceled last week.

is the airport in full swing or are they going to use both during the transition?

They're going to turn off the old one and turn on the new one on the same
day. I went on the tour and the new airport is a dream design, easy
access to everything and it's on the way out to Cedar Creek. They have a
BookPeople store and several other restaurants you don't usually see in
airports, they're trying to give it a local flavor. There will be lots of
live music playing there I hear. It's as low stress as an airport can
get.

I'm not sure, it was going to be this coming week, but I think they've
dropped it back 2-3 weeks.

bummer.
I got Brandon all excited that it'd be open when he flew in on Saturday!
(I on the otherhand, will be flying into Intergalatic! At least crawfish are in season!)
