It's a small airport when-------
1).... There's a sign beside the runway requesting pilots to replace divots before takeoff.
2).... You can figure out the total candle power of the runway lights by counting the candles.
3).... The ticket counter is a card table.
4).... nobody there has jet lag.
5).... A metal detector is used to look for tie downs.
6).... The hanger is a two car garage.
7).... The security guard waers a flea collar and barks at cars.
8).... The luggage cart is a wheelbarrow with grass stains on the wheel.
9).... The landing strip can be "socked in" by a heavy smoker.
10).... It has all the "Wright" stuff, but not neccessarily in all the "right " places.
11).... It doesn't take a computer to keep track of a plane, you just look out the window and it's either there or it isn't.
12).... It's only claim to being an "iternational " airport is that the TV in the lounge was made in Japan.
13).... If you've seen one runway, you don't need to bother to look for any more

#14 The restroom is made of molded plastic and rivets.
# 15 You have to ask the tower to get the lawn mower off the runway.

These were perfect.  True story, and I'm sure Brett Henderson can back me up, when you fly into Iron Mountain, MI, a little pickup truck drives out to the crop duster you just flew in on, and brings you your luggage, tossing it out the back outside the terminal.  No lie.
