Been flying in and out of Tallahassee since 1962 and nothing has really changed except the facilities. Tallahassee is a destination only terminal (you do not come here unless it is business oriented) , so give up on the thought this will be the connection hub of the south and quit throwing good after bad taxpayer money at the facilities.
