The airport to which the card refers was originally known as Moisant Field. It was named after the daredevil aviator John Moisant, who died in 1910 in a plane crash on this land which was devoted to farming at the time. The current airport's IATA code is still MSY which is derived from Moisant Stock Yards.
Plans for Moisant Field began in 1940. In WW2 the land became a government air base. A commercial service began in 1946.
On the 19th. September 1947, the airport was temporarily shut down when it was submerged under 2 feet of water in the wake of a hurricane. The airport covers 1,500 acres (607 ha.) at an elevation of 4.5 feet above mean sea level. MSY is the second lowest-lying international airport in the world, behind only Amsterdam's Schiphol International Airport, which lies eleven feet below sea level.
In 2001 the airport was renamed the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in honour of the centennial of his birth.
GCT in BHM
This is from our interrupted trip to New Orleans. A storm caused our flight to be rerouted to Birmingham, AL. We stayed in a comped hotel room, but they forgot to give us any meal vouchers. We needed breakfast in the morning, of course, especially since you can't count on much to eat on domestic flights anymore.
Anyway, I believe this airport cafe was called, "Wall Street Deli," oddly enough, and all the food had NYC-themed names. At least some of us ordered breakfast sandwiches called the "Grand Central" involving egg and sausage or bacon on a biscuit. This amused me, because it was a fairly southern-seeming sandwich, named after a NY train station. Anyway, it was just good to get some food in there...
Dave also reminded me that this was also his first time eating American biscuits!
