Poor Virginia
可怜的弗吉尼亚
As someone who grew up there, it's hard for me to accept Virginia's status as the most flown-over state. If nothing else, when I'm back home with family, I'll try to remember-once in a while-to look up and wave.
一些在弗吉尼亚长大的人可能会和我一样，很难接受弗吉尼亚是被飞越次数最多的州。如果不出意外的话，当我乘飞机回家的时候，我会记得抬头挥个手的。
(And if you find yourself on Arik Air Flight 104 from Johannesburg, South Africa to Lagos, Nigeria-daily service, departing at 9:35 A.M.-remember to look down and say “Aloha!”)
（如果你正在从南非约翰内斯堡飞往尼日利亚拉各斯的阿瑞克航空104航班上——每天早上9：35都会有这班飞机——记得朝下看，并说一声“Aloha！”）
1 It helps that Canada, unlike the US, has extensive commercial flight service to Cuba.
1． 不像美国，加拿大有大量飞抵古巴的商业航班。
2 This changed in 2013, when Frontier Airlines began operating a route between New Castle Airport and Fort Myers, Florida. This wasn't included in my data set, and it's possible Frontier will bump Delaware down the list.
2． 事情在2013年发生了转机，边疆航空公司在那一年开通了往返纽卡斯尔机场和佛罗里达迈尔斯堡机场的例行航班。不过这条数据并没有出现在我的计算中，而且边疆航空公司也有可能取消这一航线。
3 I'm including Rhode Island here, although it seems wrong to.
3． 我把罗德岛也算了进来，虽然看上去不应该这么做。
