My wife’s home town, Safronbolu. About 2 hours north of Ankara. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kinda pissed the NY DOT can’t make a road last a year and half the roads here were made by the Romans.

That's not fine. Is that a duct for A/C? Inlet leading edges are expensive.

Yeah it was jetbridge A/C that went 0-100 once turned on. The hose was readjusted after being turned off, jetbridge company was called out to fix whatever the hell they fixed, but maintenance didn't find anything worth logging or noting when they visited.
 
The Panama canal. The toll for commercial ships is $150k-$200k (cash); it takes around 8 hours.

It's a concept I never thought about. When I looked in to it I found this..

With the opening of the Panama Canal expansion in June, it was to be expected that the waterway would shatter all sorts of cargo volume records, but with the canal’s added capacity one figure in particular stands out: $829,468.
That’s the staggering toll a container ship previously too big to use the Panama Canal just paid to pass through it.

And funny....

While Halliburton was neither the first nor the fastest swimmer to accomplish the feat, he was the first to travel through all three sets of locks. In doing so, according to newspaper accounts, “it required as much mechanical labor to bring Halliburton, the lightest ship in Canal history, through the locks as it did for the 40,000-ton airplane carrier Saratoga, the heaviest. Charges for the passage were made in accordance with the ton rate, and Halliburton, weighing 150 pounds, paid just 36 cents.”

TACV Cabo Verde has a scheduled flight into Logan (I THINK only 4X a week) and they've had EuroAtlantic 767s covering the route for some time. Their full livery actually looks nice, so when this old thing showed up I was uhh. Surprised...
