Rookie120 0 #3 October 7, 2008 I got the video and went to one of the I-MAX shows here in the NYC area when it first came out. Very cool show and a lot of history in that airport. Was a great night to get dress up and have a wonderful show. This is a MUST buy DVD to have in your collection.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

BBJ's (737) aren't heavies, they're mid-sized commuter jets, they were kinda designed for airports like Van Nuys. IIRC the fuel on a a triple 7-300 weights more than a 737. >>Where was Depp? I met him outside the charter terminal across from Clay Lacy's hangar, I was outside smoking and he came out and joined me.Edited to add: We made some 'small talk', and even though I was dyin' to say it...

I watched AF-1 go out of South Bend IN when Bush gave a graduation speach at ND and they only have 8,400. QuoteIt's the 3rd busiest civil aviation airport in the country What are the top 2 airports?

THIS will bring tears to your eyes. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1738508#1738508 I posted a link about one six right 3 years ago, the 'preview' link isn't active anymore but to get to THAT video piece, which is even MORE dramatic than what your link shows....(why they changed it I have no idea ) Click the site link you posted, click 'launch official site', when that starts click the 'video' link...3 clips are available, click the 'FLIGHT' option, crank the volume and sit back! I love that airport, we go often....my better half is now taking R-22 lessons a couple times a month, we stay in the hotel right next to 16R, where in the parking lot under tarps happens to be the framework from the hangar use in the filming of Casablanca...(recently torn down for expansion) The hotel saved it from demolition and will be rebuilding a section of the hangar as part of their building...the history and vibes that airport has never fails to send shivers down this ole guys back! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
