Once in awhile I get my wife and daughters that crazy that we spend a afternoon plane spotting at the runways

oh, i asked them once..... They stared at me without saying anything for at least 5 minutes. Then my wife start laughing like crazy and wished
me a good time there. (At least now she thinks I'm watching planes a whole day)

The McDrive is 2 km away from here, won't work for me.... But then again, maybe better to go there alone, otherwise the whole day this nagging
about why we're in the middle of some field watching some planes.... Women...... no idea about what's really important in life...

KSAN (san diego ca) LOC RWY 27 beats KSJC (san jose ca) 29's for buildings on final. the rwy is shorter too!

however, I still like to hand fly the mill visual 28L/R to my hometown class C airport, KPDX (portland OR). nothing spectacular, but fun.

Portland usually has some interesting wind to contend with on the way in too.

My favorite to just play around on is KLSE - La Crosse, WI. Sits on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Of course, my fav to
go in and out of is KMSP. Nothing like simultaneous close parallel approaches.

My favorite airport would have to be Philadelphia International (KPHL) located in well Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA mostly because its
in my hometown, you ever fly there Brad?

Fellow PA'er

KABE - Lehigh Valley Intl

Nice airport, my hometown, not too big, not too small.

Totally impossible to tell THE favorite as it always change

I have a special love for LFSB (Basel-Mulhouse). Nothing special but I have customers there since long and could see how within 15 years it changed
from something as big as a fries van to a large airport xith the Y gates of the "new terminal".

I love also LFML (Marseille Provence) offering beautyfull views during take offs and approach. The approach on runway 32 is very spectacularwhen
sitting on the left side.

LFPO and LFPG have nothing special (apart to be my locals airport) except in the exceptional occasions when the plane make a right hand approach to
the runways 80 for LFPG or 25 for LFPG. Then the plane make the rear wind step between the Airport and Paris which you can watch like on a map. At
dusk it is feeric sight, you can almost see the cats running on the roofs and the pigeons flying around

An arrival to EHAM at dusk with the sun reflection on the North sea, this mix of water and urban ground and finally the weblike runway and taxiway
network is indeed a great sight party too . So... too much choice to pick a favorite.

In flight sim, I like to change and make big rounds by 800 - 1500 nm steps. I love landing on LEMG (Malaga rw14). The approach is between mountains
but quite easy. So unlike Innsbruck it leave all time to look around. LPPT (Lisbon rw 210) is a nice approach too. All approaches to SBRJ (Rio) are musts

but I usually only fly US Airways because they have cool looking blue airplanes

Haven't you seen Southwest's paint scheme? Our planes are blue (although lighter than US Airways) . I consider ours to look
more "cool"!



Speaking of America West (you mentioned their merger with US Airways), did anyone hear about the individual that was flying from LAS-
TPA on an America West flight, and punched out the inside window pane? This guy is facing a potential of 20 years in a federal prison!
Damn!

Heathrow because i live 20mins away and its a great place to spot, loads of heavys . On flightsim, probably LOWI(Innsbruck) due to the
insane approach for rwy 08.
