Hi Guys,

I just wanted to find out what your favourite real world airport is and why? I'll start...

Favourite Airport: Keflavik International Airport
Reason: architecture, design & size

Will be interested to see all your opinions. ;)

Regards,

Brian

Ooooh, tough question.... I have many ;D

My favorite retreat is Jackson Hole, WY, USA (KJAC) because it has such fantastic scenery, especially in winter. It's only a small airport but I can still land my 757 there :)

EHM-2288 Glenn:
I have two favourite airports, when it comes to weather conditions, and the surroundings around the airport. The first one is Trondheim, Vaernes. ENVA. If you get the approach route which comes from the east, you have to slide down the hills sorrunding the airport. And everybody knows that when you fly low over various terrains, like high mountains, there will surely be some turbulence, and local wind directions. Very fun and difficult approach.

The other one is also in Norway, this is Tromso Langnes airport. ENTC. Here you will have a approach route over the sea, with some mountains coming straight up from the sea at both sides of the aircraft's approach route. It looks like a vally, but with water as ground material, and not rock solid ground.

Also northern parts of Norway is vell known, because of difficult weather, specially in the winter season.

Enjoy a flight in Norway, and maybe the Scandinavian Tour will be your next mission?

Hi,

My favorite airport is one that already closed: Kai Tak (VHHH). Terrific approach, on a too much populated city.

EHM-2222 Cheuk:
My favourite airport is none other than Chek Lap Kok Intl, Hong Kong, VHHH! (HK's new airport) I love their viewing mall!!! ;D And I agree with Bruno, the terrific approach to Kai Tak Runway 13!
