love that sound! 😀

Ignore the crappos in Jersey and just visit the donkeys in Guernsey

nicer and not over commercialised

(had a great 8 years living there) 😀

cool – how long has this facility been there? I did my commercial licence at this field and don’t remember anything like this! (1990) 😮

Maybe I just didn’t notice 🙁

that’s a nice looking building!

leave the airport name alone and name the terminal – keeps everybody happy.

here we have:

DIA – Denver International Airport (guess where that is)

and the tent shapped / mountain range like terminal is call Jeppesen Terminal (named after that chap Elrey B. Jeppesen) whose maps and plates help every pilot get around.

did I say “the” terminal – yes one – with 93 gates and 6 levels, on an airport that is 53 square miles. (but of course the complex computerised baggage system took for ever to sort out 😮 )

pah – who needs 5 terminals plopped down in random fashion I ask you (LHR)

p.s. Southampton will always be known as Eastleigh and EM is still Castle Don

but what do I know? I’ve been Americanized 😮

spoke to some crews re: airliners used as firefighters.

they recon they would only work somewhere flat like CA.

here in CO – hot and high airfields/large mountains – probably a no-go – even the Neptunes that have had their outboard jets taken off, sometimes have to downsize their loads, at times here.

I’ll post some pics of some lovely Neptunes on the Old Timers board in a few days, when I get home from Grand Junction, CO

thanks Albert

I also posted some of her leaving the next morning

they took me surprise as they were originally talking of a 7AM departure – got there just as they taxied out – phew!
