RE: Anyone been to Toulouse Blagnac?
I visited TB some 8 years ago, in the winter. Views from the terminal, after passing douane and sec. check wasn’t bad, although photography wasn’t very good due to the glass(but there was nothing to shoot anyway). The Airbus factory was visible at the other side, but far away. Most interesting I saw that day was a preserved Concorde and , a Brequet Sahara (a double deck propliner from the fifties, and a C-47 and desert camouflaged Noratlas. The tarmac in front of the terminal was completely empty, except from the Transavia 737 I had to board, for almost 2 hours. It was boring and the terminal was rather small and old, but, so is this report. Things can be different now. Oh, don’t forget, they didn’t like camera’s overthere!!!!
