Airports and Airlines XVII

I’m happy to report that 2015 had a lot of travel — more than it should have.  I managed to snag my 50th US State and two more territories (or whatever you call them), plus an around the world trip that hit up a lot of amazing places.  I also flew my first airline where I paid cash at the ticket counter (Star Marianas Air, Saipan to Tinian and back).

At the moment I have no more plane trips planned (or booked) for this year.  There are a couple in the thinking stage for 2016, but time will tell — and the ones in the thinking stage will add neither new airports nor new airlines.
