From this column of mine, some time ago...

“Next time you're aloft, flip to the back pages of the inflight magazine. I could spend hours studying those maps, immersed in a kind of pilot porno, besotted to speechless stupor by those three-panel foldouts and their exploding nests of arcs and lines.”
Route maps are becoming more and more rare.
But what I really miss are TIMETABLES. Don't get me started on that.
