Cessna

Slang for a really really good airplane. (I.E. dependable, reliable, cute, affordable.) Refers to the Cessna 152 model, which is one of the greatest training aircraft ever.

decimate

A frequently misused word.

Decimate literally means to reduce something by a tenth, but many people use it instead to mean "totally destroy." The word "obliterate" would be a better choice than "decimate."

Decimate comes from the root "deci-" which can be found in other words involving ten, "decimal" for example.
When I decimated the cookies I ate ten out of the hundred-cookie batch.

Joe decimated the rock collection by getting rid of one tenth of the rocks.

airport

Airports are places where various aircraft take off and land from. There are big, busy airports, like O'Hare International, and there are small, quiet airports like where I am writing from, Olympia Regional.

Many airports have flight schools where you can learn to fly an airplane or a helicopter. Smaller airports have plenty of airport bums and ramp rats, which is a good thing since flying is fun to watch.

Sometimes airports will have museums, restaurants, and other fun activities.
I am happy because I found a job at the airport, renting out planes and answering phones.

Jetway

What passengers often use to deplane.

As used by the airlines, an extensible walkway that is articulated and usually enclosed. It kind of looks like a stretched out accordian from the outside. It is positioned so that passengers can walk from the terminal building to the door of the aircraft in comfort and safety.
The passengers walked down the jetway to board their flight to Norway.
