One of the first things you saw on arrival at T1 MAN used to be a big sign boasting how much the airport had spent improving its toilets. Not sure how it was supposed to impress any visitors.

No wonder that sign is long gone, given the state of the toilets opposite the ‘Aspire lounge ‘ in T1

The “moving walkways’’ between gates 20 & 28 haven’t moved anything for ages but they’re so old probably no longer able to get the parts....

I have been to MAN before, but not for quite a while. Will probably look familiar, as it does not seem to change much.

Coffee should work, as it is known for its huge water footprint

(The new terminal did eventually get built and remains as mold and mildew- free as you can get in Florida)

Also known as Okaloosa Regional Airport, Northwest Florida Regional Airport, Fort Walton Beach Airport and a few other names due to a county aviation board that keeps changing the name of the airport for marketing purposes. I think I am at six or seven different airport names on my boarding passes over the years. But because it is a small and unimportant airport, the airlines don’t update their ticket systems in a timely manner and the current airport name tends not to reflect the airport name actually on your ticket. So to prevent confusion, not only do the locals just call it VPS but the airport itself has run ‘Fly VPS’ tv and radio advertising campaigns.
I had an interest nearby that kept me visiting when I was a lot younger
It seemed then to be known as Elgin Air Force Base, though i remember being told that had never been its official name - even though it is a pretty accurate description of where it is...
