Is free usage of working planes and resources included in this offer? XD
Planes? I said 5% less derelict, not 100. But there is Toblerone and liquor in the Tax-free *points with bloody machette*, free of charge.

Yep, not only can you ride the baggage carousels and loot the duty-free shops of whisky and Toblerone (like Fim), you can also use the fancy Executive Business Center.  We promise not to page you and to strategically "forget" your location if a large, irritable Tasmanian apple farmer shows up.

Liquor, you say? Is that an open offer?

Me and Flik can help you get those planes running again. :D 

My dad overreacts like that, too, but I know for a fact that he tends to exaggerate... everything, and he doesn't ever feel as bad as he seems to.  That said, yeah, that request is quite unreasonable.  It takes a while to come up with something good, for a project like that.
Feel free to PM.

Now hang on you *points with other, clean machette*, it clearly says derelict airport in the contract. Or are you saying I'm the only one whose supposedly derelict planes explode when powered up?

Lousy freebooter. Take the jägermeister, that stuff is vile anyways.

I got my space shuttle working again. 
Now I'm working on a weapon system on the derelict ISS to really enforce my Thor powers.

My dad is just very bitter about everything and anything, and can only talk negatively. It's not even applied logically, it HAS to be done. There's some head issues. Probably diagnosable ones, but I don't think that should give him a free pass to being a )&@@@$($&@

Would Paint/Paint.Net be ok for making the letterhead? They're all I've got at my disposal....

I didn't say her airport had working *planes* -- just a mysteriously preserved cluster of Old World computers and printers, on mahogany credenzas, and big cushy black Naugahyde executive chairs.
All hidden behind many layers of frosted glass.  (Hey, *my* airport has a giant Space Shuttle hangar, a NASA center, and a Top Sekrit Google Spacebase.  Just no baggage carousels or booze.)

I dunno about your planes -- what kind of firewater are you feeding them?

Yep, go with what you've got.  "Good enough for government work," as they say.  If that jerk (um, sorry to say that about your father, but he is) complains, burst into tears and say "But Daaad, that's the best I can dooooo..." 

Or else point out that it cost him nothing but some snarling, which is a ton cheaper than a professional could do.

I actually don't think he'd notice if the letterhead is suboptimal.

(I have more thoughts on your father, but I'll take those offline.  Meanwhile, have a hug, newly crowned Ruler of a Derelict Airport!  Promotion ceremony will be held tomorrow.)

Oh yeah, was your "airport" Cape Canaveral?

What about Nimphy's?  I know Fim chose conquered Paris-CDG.

You haven't seen the local airport...have you. XD
At most, I get a plastic seal that goes around on the baggage carousel ;P

Ah, see, that's your problem -- wrong octane.

What's that mean? Use Southern Comfort instead?

Awww, that sounds kind of cute, and the Hobart Suburban Airstrip (or whatever it's called) looks... friendly?

But you're now a world-bestrider!  You can pick out a derelict airport anywhere you like!!  I don't think Fimbulvarg's within driving distance of Charles de Gaulle Airport (unless there's something she isn't telling us...)
