No, I haven't checked it out yet. Is it nice?

Root Explanation

Airpark is formed from "air" (from Old English "aer", meaning the atmosphere or sky) and "park" (from Old French "parc", meaning an enclosed area). The word "airpark" refers to an enclosed area designed for aircraft, typically for parking or storage.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'air' as the atmosphere where planes fly and 'park' as an enclosed area where they are stored. This helps you remember that an airpark is a place for aircraft to be parked.
