San Jose Mineta International Airport is covered with chicken stickers, Wednesday, March 20, 2024, as the facility honors the 75th anniversary of the 2,500 chicks that were on the first flight that landed in San Jose in 1949. Former San Jose mayor Ernie Renzel reads a birthday card written by 6 year old neighbor, Brennan Potter, the son of councilwoman Cindy Chavez, during Renzel's 100th birthday party at his home in San Jose. Renzel died Saturday morning in his home in San Jose. He was 100 years old.In addition to the 10-foot inflatable chick in Terminal B, there are more than 1,000 decals of little yellow chicks all around the airport, as well as seven-foot high standees suitable for selfies.
The airport launched its anniversary celebration earlier this month, and one of the final acts was performed by now-retired Aviation Director John Aitken who donned a chicken hat for an Instagram video kicking off the festivities. No doubt his successor, Mookie Patel, was happy he didn’t have do that as his first duty on the job.
