WHOO HOO! Cake 100 was found with my parents when they visited this weekend! Only 150 more to go!
I chose to find this with my parents because my dad is awesome at navigating airports.
It wasn't nearly as difficult to find this cake as I thought it would be, and my dad was able to use the 5 minute drop off parking located just outside of door 4 on Terminal 1, although door 3 would have been even closer. Then it was just a quick jog down the hall to see the big display they had with flags that matched the exhibit at the Missouri History Museum.
Lambert Airport is one of the most historic airports in the United States and is named for Albert Bond Lambert who learned to fly with the Wright Brothers in 1911. In 1920, Major Lambert leased 170 acres of farm land in St. Louis County to serve as an Air Field. When the lease expired in 1925, Lambert bought the field and created a mail service between Chicago and St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh as the chief pilot of what would be the predecessor of American Airlines.
The City bought the airport in 1928 and became part of the first Transcontinental Air Service and in 1933 the first passenger terminal was built. During WWII McDonnell Aircraft Company worked at Lambert to expand military production. Lambert became one of the first airports to offer jetliner service in 1959. By 1971, the airport became Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and the runway and terminal were further developed. In 1998, Terminal 2 was added.
