Skybus Owns Columbus Ohio

Skybus, which made a big splash this week by offering $10 flights, is making themselves known in their adopted (thanks tax credit policy wonks!) hometown of Columbus Ohio.

The above Skybus wallscape can be seen from almost two miles up and down High Street in Columbus.

C-bus, has taken a bunch heat this week for being the obscure Skybus hub town, but central Ohio fans are not taking the big media bullying lying down.

An LA Times commenter, and C-bus supporter:

Do we have a beach or mountains? No, but neither do we panic when it rains. Having lived in both, I'd still rather raise my kid in Columbus (though I'm sure I'll be flying Skybus to get back to SoCal to visit everyone from time to time).

Skybus up-to-the-minute meta rundown:
·The New York Times is old enough to remember People Express
·LA Times Not Sure Hollywood is ready for Ohio
·Seattle PI Explains that Bellingham is actually almost in Canada
·China Calls Skybus Fledgling, says $10 is only $7.36 Euros

Skybus is launching with $10 fares on May 22nd. Why do we get the feeling it is going to be a fun, fun month?
