I’ve been flying for business and pleasure for more than 40 years. I’d like to share some of my favorite domestic and international airports.
Cleveland Burke Lakefront: steps from downtown; my boss Ron Diderich used to fly here daily from DTW in 1982.
Sarasota: My first landing in 1974; so much busier today where Sue and I have our winter home.
Indy Exec Airport. I served on the local airport board for 8 years.
Boston Logan is a major NE hub with an ocean approach which I first experienced landing in 1975.
Mackinac Island is a small airport with varied service.
Chicago Midway Airport
Chicago’s Midway Airport is a Southwest hub and used to be a hub for Indy’s American TransAir (ATA). The airport is in a 1 x 1 mile block in Chicago with a very short 5,200 foot long main runway.
New York is a huge US hub; enjoy a Newark approach.
Maui (’nuff said).
Key West; Another Island Paradise
San Diego; more exciting landing than expected.
San Francisco; I observed this approach from the front seat in 1998.
Washington, DC: Reagan. The greatest mainstream US airport approach, every time.
Aspen, CO. A mountain approach and a very exciting takeoff.
Tokyo.
Nice, France.
Old Hong Kong Airport (I first experienced in 1997).
