This is a tram HOW?

This photo I took of Portland's Aerial Tram (while driving!) got me wondering why they didn't call it what it is: a gondola. "Aerial Tram" sounds like it came from the same geniuses who brought us "Sky Bus". It's a plane. A plane! (No, that's not my Herve Villechaize impersonation.)
