Some years back the aviation
wizards in Washington decided in
order to increase the utilization
of Baltimore's Friendship (BAL)
airport & also help reduce the
overcrowding at Washington's
handy National (DCA) airport they
decided to change the name & code
to (BWI) Baltimore Washington
International to confuse yokels
into thinking it was a DC choice
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flying
the last of Douglas Aircraft's
piston powered commercial planes
the mighty DC-7F just prior to
their 1st commercial jet the DC-8
(more knickel knowledge)
In 1974 when I brought over the 25 baby africans for Great Adventure, we flew the last leg across the Atlantic on KLM..
