	According to  *Webster's__School__Dictionary*  (1980 by
Merriam and Company)  AIRDROME  is aka  AIRPORT.

	Maybe  *aerodrome*  was originally  *ÆRODROME*  which is too
complicated for us moderns and it got watered down to 
AIRDROME.

	But I understand there is a new definition to  AIRDROME 
which Oxford is considering for addition to the dictionary:   
Transit for Air-Heads!

	Stranger things have happened.


As An Aside.......

	.......In response to the forward about
Roller-Copaster-Transit posted on another list, someone
thought it might mean resurrecting the 87-Ardmore.   I  AM 
certainly for that    ----    let's get started and vote One
(or Two if possible) Derrick Brashear's to Spear-Head  
*The__Return__of__the__87--Ardmore__TrolleyCar*   Group!
