1. No, they'll just convert it to a series of tubes.

2. No. Why should they? Uncle Ted brought lots of goodies to Alaska.
It would be extremely churlish to rename the airport. In any case, it's basically just ceremonial. I doubt that anyone in Alaska calls it anything but the Anchorage Airport, anyway. (I lived in Alaska for six years, btw)

5. Right on and to think they dropped their income tax
plus gave every one that nice ck. every year from the oil. If they needed any thing they could count on the crooks they had in DC. I lived their 10 years. Do you re-call the book they wrote about Alaska? It was a well known writer and I have been trying to think of the name. He hit the state right on the head. I did love that state and just hated I had to move. Every thing is so over the top.
