Dirty Little Air War

As the festivities wound down, the Sun Country CEO positioned himself in front of the hangar door to shake hands while his staff dismantled departmental displays that included a DC-10 engine, a black box, and blown-up sketches of the future HHH. Some of the workers debated--and abandoned--the idea of hauling the columns of balloons over to the charter terminal. As guests filed out, they were handed free round-trip tickets as door prizes. "Try our service," the black-and-silver coupons pleaded. "We're here for you."
