NEW YORK (AP) — The biggest version yet of Boeing's jumbo 747 could soon be flying into airports that have never seen aircraft that large before. Airports from Rockford, Ill. to Huntsville, Ala. are a . . . (flightaware.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
buyer beware. Standiford Field was there first.
Gee, I thought only people who moved next to a 100 year old railroad complained about the noise?
Well, you must also blame some cities and/or Airport commissions for not looking forward for their Airports and the potential they have. They look at them as an added expense rather than a gateway to their city and a source of industry and hi tech jobs. Failing to realize this, they let that vacant land surrounding their Airport sell to a developer rather than buying it up themselves for future expansion. BUT, that takes us back to Budlong's comment "can't they see those planes landing and taking off"?
3rd that like^^^^
Well, it looks like they are going with 777's this next round. No need to get the bigger bird and just increase the take off weight if you don't need the space.
I live under the ILS short final of 27 at Memphis and it's a sight to see A310s A306s MD11s DC10s B777s go over my house and yes i'm talking about FedEx traffic! I would DIE! to see the B748i or B748F! But sad Memphis doesn't really care about it.
Ditto on Airports being before the house. And also, didn't they see the airplanes landing when the bought/rented the place? I still say, every time I see a 747 landing or taking off, it aiin't gonna make it, it ain't gonna make it, them engines are just too small for something that big. It is majestical!
