There lies much more to the story of KSEA. One big example is the construction of the 3rd runway.

Researching online and Ezra Meeker died in 1928 so that was not him. He lived to be 97 years old which is amazing.

He had a pretty bumpy life, I will make a video on him one of these days for sure. I am not sure exactly what I said about Ezra though, if you remember let me know. I try to be 100% factual, but I am sure I will mess up or at least get my info from a bad source from time to time, Thank you for fact checking me. Ezra did die in 1928, Dec. 3
