Every time I fly, I marvel at how much engineering and know-how went into making the airport that I'm using. From the oddly shaped trucks with various functions, to mundane elements (elevators, escalators, ...) to advanced technology (radio communication, radars...) to the sheer organizational feat (thousands of people coming in every day to execute their carefully planned tasks). This text will give me one more thing to think about :)

Same, and I also just marvel at the airplanes. This video made me think of the several grass runways that are in my area. They're literally just maintained by some guy mowing them, and yet people land on them in tiny planes as well as two-engine aircraft.

Glad I'm not the only who is fascinated with airports and the technology/engineering that makes them function at scale.
