Portugal, can you tell me the name of the stadium that is seen on the left of the planes landing at Lisbon? It sure looked weird when we flew in in the summer!

dear portuguese friend, could you confirm if the new Saa Carneiro Airport is already completed?. Any good high speed plans to conect the airport to the new planned railway link to Galicia?
Thats not a new airport, but a renovation of the existing Francisco Sa Carneiro airport, and no, the constructions in the airport will not be complet in time to Euro 2004, thats why some aircrafts will will parked, they will land in Porto airport and then moved to, Air Force bases.
The TGV new railway is still in tha paper, but there are some Government VIPs that want a connection betweem Francisca Sa Carneiro airport and TGV station, for now you can rent a Ferrari and drive from Porto to Galicia at high speed
