As the saying goes..'every picture tells a story'...however what has really changed at SOU? Perhaps the answer is in the question...nothing. The the airlines have moved on, with new equipment requiring updated infrastructure airside and SOU has been left behind.
It seems to me that benign neglect is now the policy, perhaps the shareholders know more about the long term plan, and that may not be aviation orientated. I hope I am wrong. It was and could be a great airport.
