Airports (and a museum) remember Charlie Watts

The Rolling Stones’ drummer, Charlie Watts, died on Tuesday and several airports, including Philadelphia International Airport and Dublin Airport – and Seattle’s Museum of Flight – went into their archives to share photos.

The @RollingStones have performed in Philadelphia many times in their almost 60-year career. Today, we remember the last time Charlie Watts and the band landed at #PHLAirport, for the July 2019 No Filter Tour stop at Lincoln Financial Field. #RIPCharlieWatts pic.twitter.com/aVc6oc1sA0

We are saddened to learn that Charlie Watts, @RollingStones drummer and #avgeek, passed away. During their tour stop in Seattle, Charlie brought some family by the Museum for a memorable visit. Here he is getting a look at the ball turret on our B-17. #RIP pic.twitter.com/Wu8piIRoBj
