I know, right? No two-seaters in that crowd.

I was doing this math in my head too.

Next, if Dulles please could replace - and then bulldoze - the current C/D concourses.

Flying was still somewhat glamorous back then. People dressed up and tried to behave. You could smoke on planes too that was pretty cool.
