Wallkill is a looooooong drive from here, at least for purposes of watching a rugby match. The match was to be played at the Wallkill Airport. After the navigation system couldn't even find the address (I looked up an address online, but the nav system said the street numbers didn't go that high--turns out they did), I thought this might be a small airport that had been closed in the past few years.
Turns out it's a small airport that's still used as an airport...
The massive main terminal building
They just happen to have a small athletic field next to the airfield, and that's where the rugby match was played. I'll post rugby pictures soon enough. For now, a shot of the one flight that departed while we were there. I believe this is a British Airways 747...
Okay, maybe not. :)
It was a fun day, despite a very long drive (traffic was hideous on the way up). Matt is good company, and it was fun to spend time with him. One humorous note was when he decided that he wasn't interested in playing rugby (he'd been considering it). Coming from a veteran hockey player, this was saying something!

When I first landed at the Jackson Hole airport, I thought it was small. Two gates, two carriers and NOOoooo frills.
I stand corrected.
