The first NHL Conference Champion not to touch their Conference Championship trophy was ..........

The 1997 Philadelphia Flyers, led by their then-Captain Eric Lindros.

As we all recall, the...

700 WLW down in Cincinnati has been nearly all local --- including the overnights --- for decades now.

The exceptions have been:

1) introducing syndicated Red Eye Radio in the 1 AM-5 AM block...

Yes. 98%+ of the incoming traffic would be terminating in Detroit. I suppose some connections like Istanbul-Detroit-Denver are possible but they'd be a significant majority.

This flight is...

Biden of course doesn't have this power .......... but I'm sure MANY Detroiters wish he could "un-pardon" Kwame Kilpatrick.

Ugh, a wonderful parting gift from the outgoing President.

In other words, "moving the goalposts."

Whitmer KNEW 22 days ago that she would be extending the partial shutdown. She didn't have the guts to say so then, however. So she announces a "3 week...

90 is fairly common in a Detroit summer [[about 10 days a year) ..... mid-90s is more noteworthy.

It does remind me of an anecdote from when I was living in Cincinnati. Cincinnati has about the...

One of the simplest but coolest nicknames ever:

MISTER TIGER.

As someone else said, a genuine 5-tool player. Hit for average, hit for power, near perfect as a fielder, an arm you didn't run on...

I'd put the odds of that at 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000:1.

Never open again??????? This virus isn't going to wipe out 25%+ of society, and some level of commerce...

Yep. There are 5 airports that are busier than DTW but are located in a smaller DMA. You named 4 of them, along with the reasons why.

The other is Seattle. Much more geographically isolated...

PHL is a very good analogy for DTW.

PHL and DTW both have quite a bit of non-connecting traffic. The airports serve a pretty big Metro region.

And PHL and DTW both serve a strategic purpose in...

Saw the EXACT same sign twice over Christmas Break. At gas stations in North Platte, Nebraska and La Salle, Illinois.

Anybody traveling America's interstates who can find a FasTrac can get some...

Yep. Roughly 5% of Southwest's fleet is 737 Max planes. Of the "big four" US airlines, that's the highest percentage.

Losing frequency on DTW-LAS flights is unfortunate, but it could be worse. ...

GREAT add for DTW. As a aviation fan originally from Detroit, this was very good news to see.

They're putting one of their best planes on the route, as well.

Delta's response will be...

Yeah - the "uneven-ness" as regards DTW's car rental times are a big problem.

I travel a good bit. There are several airports that have LONG times between the car rental place and the terminal. ...

Very good point on the European low-cost carriers. WOW filled that role up until a month ago, of course. There's a vacuum there for the time being.

Canada - you're right there too. Intuitively,...

I always hear this - but is it really true?

Typical day at DTW [[Europe):
4 flights to Amsterdam
3 flights to Paris [[2 Delta, 1 Air France)
2 flights to Frankfurt [[1 Delta, 1 Lufthansa)
1...

Here's my view when it comes to routes like a 10 Mile Road bus line.

I currently live in Broomfield, Colorado - halfway between Denver & Boulder. I'm doing fairly well in life. I use the...

Yes, my bad. Saying "single-hub cities" is more correct. When it comes to price, NYC, Chicago & LA originating travelers benefit from the immense size of the Metro region - so large that multiple...

The Delta Hub is definitely a net positive for Detroit, but there are some things that are individually bad about it.

Positives:

1. Helps the economy at the local level. Many connecting...

Hmmm ... interesting. I grew up in that neighborhood [[Somerset Drive), there are already relatively large chunks of open land between the schools --- not really utilized that much, even for school...

Good post. The Detroit region has a real gem in DTW and it's awesome for the local business community. On the "other" side of the Delta/Northwest merger, CVG and the Cincinnati business community...

I think there is definitely a market for a charter air shuttle that flew weekday [[leave Detroit at 7 AM, return to Detroit at 7 PM) flights between DET and Chicago [[Midway) and New York [[Teterboro,...

Thanks for the link to the radar loop! I love have documentation for events like this.


Very fascinating event from the Meteorological POV: [[1) A low pressure that is rapidly deepening [[a couple...

This always struck me as the most bizarre part of the law. Looks like I can set off fireworks and make a whole lot of noise at 11:30 PM on the Tuesday after each of these holidays! YES!

I'm...

Oh wow, I remember this. 10 years already, that doesn't seem possible. I was actually working part-time Fridays through Sundays during summer [[apart from my regular job) for a packaged ice company:...
