Genius, we built the "International Terminal," now the "North Terminal" in the '80s to handle all the international passenger traffic.   The drunk Asian businessman ogling big naked American girls in Anchorage strip joints was a fixture here.   The Aleyeska Prince was luxuriously built for all the layover traffic from people who stopped here for a ski vacation.   The Boeing 747SP and the end of the Soviet Union ended all that and there is almost no international passenger traffic through Anchorage; they just fly past and turn right or left at the beacon.   The International Terminal sat empty for over a decade and is still empty in winter.   TSAIA is in the top five cargo ports in the World, depending on how the economy is going, but we are nothing more than a waypoint for passenger traffic not going to Alaska.   Look up at the sky about 8 AM or 3 PM and all you see is contrails; you never saw those twenty or thirty or more years ago.
