Who are the "most people" here? If they live *outside* Toronto, they
probably say that they're "flying to Toronto". At most, they'll say
"Toronto International Airport". It is, after all, the main airport for the
city.
Most people who live *in* Toronto, just call it "the airport". What else?
I know there's another airport down on the Island, but its very small. As a
result, the big one out in Malton is the one that gets referred to simply as
"the airport". The other gets called "the island airport" or "the airport
on Toronto Island".
Just to muddle you up completely, there are still a few older people (like
me) who--when they want to be a bit formal about the name--refer to the big
airport as "Malton Airport". That was its old name before it got renamed
after the former prime minister, Lester B. Pearson. As is true in most big
cities, the airport isn't in the city proper but outside in a nearby
township--specifically, in Malton.
I've heard it referred to as "Pearson International Airport" on the news;
but I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it that in real life.

I have to agree with Greer on this one. Most people of an area refer
to the airport as "the airport".
In my area (Northern NJ) we have to differentiate... there are 3
major airports - Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia. So if you just say "the
airport" the other person will automatically ask "Which one?"

I don't see the Jadfe files up on Mel's site yet. She said she was going
to archive them there. I still have them on foreverknight.org
http://www.foreverknight.org/ladylacroix
I didn't know the site was down until Mel told me. I had moved the site
and had forgotten to change the DNS info at the registrar.
That link has been working for a couple months now, but didn't say
anything as Mel was going to put them up on her site. Until they get
there, as I said the link above now is working again.

I am sure there are direct flights to/from a whole bunch of French
airports for Pearson. It is generally referred to as "Peason" or simply
"the airport" for people in T.O.

Subject: Re: TO Trivia for fic...
Do most people call the airport "Pearson," or "Toronto Pearson," or
something else? The official website (http://www.gtaa.com/en/home/)
seems to use "Toronto Pearson," but that may be an affectation
I have friends in Toronto and on the rare occasion that they talk about
the airport they refer to it only as Pearson. When I was last in TO,
which was in 1999 the rental car agency I used referred to it as Pearson
and included the Terminal number. (Pearson 1). I would imagine that
for people who live in Toronto the "Toronto" part of "Toronto Pearson" would
be assumed. It has been ages since I watched Black Budda but doesn't
the pilot on the plane talk to the tower before it blows up? I would use
whatever terminology they use in the episode as the show cannon for your
fic.

Subject: Natalie's Laughter/Sounds of FK
What is the best episode for hearing Natalie's laugh, in your
opinion? Not just seeing her smile, but actually hearing the sound
of her laughter?
It struck me today that I don't have a good mental soundtrack of such
key FK sounds as each character's laughter. I know the voices, of
course -- to the point I could peg GWD uncredited in the _Nancy Drew_
movie on the strength of two lines, one off-screen -- but laughs,
sobs, gasps and screams are eluding me. If someone were to set up a
sound archive for FK, which scenes would best provide those elements?
And what other routine sounds would be key -- the caddy, Nick's
elevator, Nick's refrigerator door, the morgue scale, what else?
Just a train of thought . . .

Well, Nick says in Black Buddha "we are almost at *the airport*, not
we're almost at Pearson. Toronto Island airport is mentioned in the ep
where the Texas Axe murderer is supposed to be extradited to the US (ep
name slips my mind at the moment), and Cohen explicitly calls it the
Island airport.

If I remember correctly Natalie laughed in 'Only the Lonely' when she was
coming back from her afternoon with Roger and they were talking about the
"poor kite."
Also she kind of did a little squeak in 'Dead Issue'--the one with the Fiores
and Illse--when she told Nick that she almost forgot about his "veggie drink".
As far as routine sounds I think the sounds of the precinct are also pretty
important and maybe the sound of the cable cars that cross in front of the
96th Precinct. Did they actually make sounds on screen? Also perhaps the sound
of Nick's answering machine and various messges and the sound of the shutters
being lowered or raised.

I found the picture, thanks everyone. It was a project I had offered to do
to go along with my series I created, I was busy writing my books, so when I
took a break from that, I began this project, I have one chapter done and
the other started.
Him meaning Mr. Wyn Davies, no, but I do stay in touch with Sony Pictures
and keep them informed of what projects I start using the show with no
problem on their side.

Subject: Re: Subject: FK Picture
I think it's supposed to be a biography of Nick who is a fictional
character, not of GWD who is a living person so that would be an
entirely different piece of cake. And I think the comment was meant a
bit in joke, since you are attempting to write a biography not an
autobiography unless of course you're doing it from Nick's point of view.

Okay let's clear this up; I'm writing Nicholas' life from the show as he
told it plus I sense about him as a person more so than a character. Mr.
Wyn Davies has his story already written, but he still has many years to
live still.
I'm use to the side jokes, they no longer offend me, no offense taken.
