These days the airport may seem a little bigger and the planes a little more high tech - but I'm not sure that travelling by air has gotten any better. In the old days there were flights from Kodiak direct to Seattle. The planes even had bunks for sleeping. It was more like taking the ferry or a train. Maybe a little slower, but hey, it was direct, and far more civilized. No TSA, mangled luggage, endless questions, removal of shoes, and long lines.
This photo was taken of the Kodiak 'PNA' terminal around 1950 by Don Clark. The photo is currently stored at the Alutiiq Museum. (PGS)
