Peoria Station

My last "Ask Peoria Station" was posted March 30, 2024.  So I guess it is way past time to do another. As always, If I don't know an answer off hand, I'll find one. But what I really wanted to write here is an update on my "PIA - A History" series. I haven't posted one in a long time.  December 28, 2022 to be exact. Events of the year 2002 were covered. I lack complete airline schedules for specific a month in 2003, and obtaining them is usually costly these days. Airlines quit publishing paper timetables some years ago, and vendors who have them tend to price them with great pride. I get that, but I am not wealthy. I am glad I purchased what I did, when I did.  But I do intend to continue posting this series. Bear with me. It takes time and research. I will create a slide show using images from the Prairie Air Show on July 5, 2003. Amazingly, the public spectator show area that weekend bordered the terminal apron, so commercial airliner activity was eas...

I haven't posted one of these in awhile, so here it is. Ask a question on transportation and industry. As always, if I don't know the answer, I'll find one.

So with this week's Arctic weather changing my routine, I decided to write the next one. Look for "PIA - A History: Events of 2003" soon.  Two decades have passed, so it is easier to analyze events in historical context. As with the last four write ups, I will include a slide show, focusing on commercial airline traffic during the Prairie Air Show July 5-6, 2003.  - David P. Jordan

I haven't posted one of these in awhile, so here it is. Ask a question on transportation and industry. As always, if I don't know the answer, I'll find one. Finally, I need to announce two upcoming posts. The annual analysis of airline service at Peoria Int'l Airport will be posted soon. Schedules and route map will be for July 2022.  I intend to continue my PIA - A History series with a post on 2002. It is hard to believe that was twenty years ago. Although these were 21st century events, much has changed. I think it will be interesting.  - David P. Jordan

Time for more Q&A.  If I don't have an answer, I'll find one.  (Bear with me on answers...I no longer receive email notifications. I'll try to look for questions as often as I can so I can respond in a timely manner.) - David P. Jordan

I will soon be able to create more blog posts. Expect in the next few days the annual update on Peoria Int'l Airport air service.  Meanwhile, you can ask questions here. If I don't have an answer, I'll find one.  - David P. Jordan

It is time for Q & A! Feel free to post your questions in the comments section on any transportation topic. If I don't have an answer, I'll find one. - David P. Jordan
