John York Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've just landed at Brindisi, the scene of some bloody battles during the 2nd.World War. Brings back some bad memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 For me, it would have to be Tan Son Nhat in old Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. Maybe it's because I passed in and out of that airport so many times to enter or leave circumstances that each time took a little chunk out of me. I don't know for sure why it sticks, but I can say that I've gone through several dozen airports in my life, but this is the only one that remains in vivid memory all these years later.

olderndirt Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 My son still lives in Anchorage and many years ago I worked the the airport control tower. Each time I visit him, I can tell by the turns how we're doing in the arrival lineup - old habits never die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 For me as a kid I was sent to live with my Grandparents in Reseda, California while my parents were going through marriage issues and divorce so I've been through LAX a lot in my life. When I was a kid LAX was like magic, a very exciting place, and being picked up by my grandparents triggers some of my best memories growing up. Today I go through LAX and I no longer feel anything, because I don't think anyone can feel anything in a place like that. It has become one of the worse airports in America. I think LAX needs a wrecking ball and every last square inch and repurposed from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've been reading a lot of Westerns lately and some of those people travelled prodigious distances by horse begfore the trains came along. Not having much inspiration as to where to fly, I've been flying the journeys these people make, usually 200 miles or so which is ideal for me and takes me over some very interesting country.

John, that really does sound interesting., Do you have a favorite trail so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not yet Rodger. My wording was a bit awry. I missed out a couple of words. I should have said; 'I've been ''thinking of' flying some....... Sorry. I've got to look them up because some of the places may well have become ghost towns or are still too small to supposrt an airport. I'll keep you all informed.

John John, FYI, Eastern Oregon has a number of trailsl that go through interesting geology. We used to drive up to eastern Washington from central Oregon in the summers and really enjoy the trip.

Rob Abernathy Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks for the idea John! I think I'll travel the trails from the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
