The Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is the closest airport to me, and over the last two weeks, I paid two visits to it (dropping off and picking up). For those of you from Florida, it’s about the size of the Sarasota-Bradenton (SRQ) airport or Gainesville, Florida’s regional airport. They’ve been doing some renovations, and this display is one of the newer additions. ✈️
