    Pierre, SD, Columbia, MO. Both of the three-prop-flights-a-day, place feels more like a bus station, variety. But a bus station with extra-zealous security. Hell, I'd be bored, too, if I worked for the TSA in Pierre.

    Air Midwest and Great Lakes are only airlines out of there, or as we call it Air Maybe.....maybe you get there, maybe you don't.

    Rhein-Main AFB, Germany.

    Never mind that it lies opposite the runway from Frankfurt Airport, one of the bigger ones in the world. The terminal looked and felt like a bus station stuck in the 1940s. No jetway; they rolled the steps out to the plane and you rocked it old-school. Baggage claim consisted of one single carousel. And it was 20 steps to the door.

    Of course, it was commercial only in the loosest sense. It was Northwest Airlines, but a charter flight for soldiers only.

    Been there and Nantucket but I don't recall which is smaller. Got snowed in at Chuck Yeager airport in (Charleston, W.Va.?) once and spent the night at the bar with the rest of the snowed in passengers talking about how 'ol Chuck would have gotten the damn jet out of there.

    Easily, Augusta, ME -- very small with a couple of airlines check-in desks, a car rental desk, and just one Luggage conveyer for arriving luggage which was only 6-7 feet long.

    This one time, a goose was behind our plane. And the pilot kept yelling, go around, go around.

    Then, another time, we got passed by a kite.
