Trivia: For those that may not know, Idlewild airport was renamed John 
F. Kennedy International Airport on December 24, 1963, a month and two 
days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Thanks for the trivia.  I've flown in/out of JFK and La Guardia several 
times each during my enlistment.  Never had an inkling JFK had been 
renamed!

Yeah, I didn't think it was likely that anyone would have known that, so 
I thought I'd pass that along, since Idlewild was referred to so many 
times in the episode, and someone might wonder where exactly are they 
trying to fly to.

I'm watching that episode now, and only at 4 mins in, I get a great 
Nostalgia Boost.  "Better call Weather Ship Charlie!" says the 
'skipper'.  Wow, they are on a transatlantic flight from the UK to the 
US (Idlewild).

The Boeing 747 was the first civilian airliner to open up most of Europe 
to non-stop trans-oceanic flight from the US.  And they still fly over 
parts of the Arctic region to get to UK, France, east Europe. It is just 
the shortest route.

While most flights we actually talked with over the RT net were MAC 
flights, a few were civilian airliners.  They are raising Ocean 
(Weather) Station Charlie, one part of my first "cruise" on the USCGC 
Taney, a double patrol, a Bravo-Charlie.  The first 27 days were the OS 
Bravo, near the Arctic circle, then the rest was on OS Charlie, then 
back to port.  78 days out total.  Total number of aircraft observed, 
60, total number we logged comms with, 3.

This was in 73, Loran C was now in global use, not much need for a 
vessel between continents at that point.   The Ocean Stations were, 
well, obsolete.  Redundant.  Overkill.  Purposeless. A waste of money. 
We stood the last Charlie, actually. Taney also stood the very last 
Ocean WEATHER Station HOTEL, east coast.  There is now a permanent sea 
buoy with its own automated weather observatory.  So, all this in our 
little lifetimes, Spamster!

I was in 3rd (9 yrs old) grade when JFK was killed.  The worst part is 
that it was shown school-wide on all classrooms TV's live.  The entire 
Galena Park  School District was witness to the assassination of 
President John F. Kennedy, via live broadcast of the event. Most schools 
across the nation likely experienced the same thing. So that was 
probably THE event that sparked the 10 second broadcast delay being 
inserted into all "Live" broadcasting we see today. Means that if we see 
it, they LET it "slip" in.



Odyssey of Global 33, now that was an unbuttoned ending!  A Rod Serling 
Special, Whew!

Just remembered (though it isn't in any shows to date), Houston 
Intercontinental Airport was renamed to George Bush, or just BUSH, 
Intercontinental Airport.  I don't recall the exact year or reason, but 
they sure did it.  Seems I had kids, so was out of the Military by then.

I didn't know that, but it would seem obvious that the original name was 
not Bush.

I haven't watched this episode yet but that's a cool bit of trivia.
