American Airlines has a hub at Charlotte, the Hornet’s Nest city - a ‘hornet’s nest’ of revolutionaries during the War of Independence. It’s where American Airlines connects outlying airports to the rest of its expansive route network. Norfolk, one of those outlying airports, is the city of mermaids, with over 300 bronze statues and countless more painted and placed around. This flight - Charlotte to Norfolk - is a very important one for the Hampton Roads region. It’s one of my favorites to do.
