Flint Photos: Wigs, Disguises, Herzogs and Bishop Airport

In the late seventies, the Herzog family had a tradition of meeting friends and relatives at Bishop Airport in getups like these to amuse and confound them.

Bishop Airport sometime in the 1950s, back in the days when you could, apparently, ride your bike out to look at the planes.

The Deer Hunter

For future reference, when flying out of Flint's Bishop Airport, or even going anywhere near it, always wear hunter's orange, or a 1972 Powers High School graduation gown.

The Detroit News reports:

"A public safety officer trying to shoot a deer on the grounds of Flint's Bishop International Airport fired a shot that went astray and whizzed by workers at a nearby business.
"Airport Director James L. Rice tells The Flint Journal the airport is developing new rules on how and when wildlife will be cleared from airport property following the shooting the afternoon of July 18.
"Rice says he's apologized, and the airport may limit shoots during local business hours.

"United Auto Workers Local 659 shop chairman Jack Cannon was outside auto parts supplier Android Industries with other workers at the time of the shooting. He says workers thought someone was trying to kill them.
"Wildlife such as deer at the airport are considered a safety hazard for flights."
