| 1288097 | 2012-07-12 10:58:00 | London Heathrow in action - Europe's busiest airport, with only 2 runways. Shot from the Control Tower, with ATC communications captured as well. And a 747 with a Koru on the tail landing - NZ 1. For non-aviation types, an insight into how it all comes together to keep aircraft a safe distance from each other, on the ground and in the air. Hope you guys enjoy it. :) HERE (www.youtube.com) |

| 1288103 | 2012-07-12 23:24:00 | Good one Wal, tower must be pretty tall Never thought about it, but you're right: "The new ATC Tower at Heathrow is a new prominent feature at the airport . The tower was designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership and engineered by Arup . The tower reached an important stage at the end of 2005 with a topping-out ceremony when its full height of 87m (285ft) was achieved . The topping-out ceremony involved gold bolts being tightened ceremoniously at the base of the tower to mark the completion of the main structure . The new tower is more than twice the height of the old tower and will offer better unobstructed 360° views of the airport for controllers . The 55 Heathrow air traffic controllers are expect to move into the £50 million tower in the last quarter of 2006/07 . " More ( . airport-technology . com/projects/heathrow_traffic/" target="_blank">www . airport-technology . com) :D PS the height of the main observation deck at Skytower is 220m . |

| 1288106 | 2012-07-13 08:08:00 | That air crash investigation program is very addictive.They were playing that program in the airport gate waiting room in Phnom Penh (capital of Cambodia). Not the most reassuring viewing material for its passengers. :xmouth: | Jen (38) | ||
