“As far as aircraft movements and landings, getting in here on Friday was a record day in terms of airplanes that landed. I think they looked at the forecast and they said, ’Let’s get in here,’ and they beat [the previous Friday record] by about 25%! I don’t know what the number for today is yet, but I can tell you that even yesterday we had to shut down due to saturation. Air traffic control could not handle it, four different times. And I think that today [Monday] will be very similar!I think we’ll be completely full before the day’s over.”
