True - and it doesn’t look like it’s running at all nowadays

Re: Washington State Aviation Thread - 2022

Sorry, Sidney BC not Sydney Australia. (that would be a long ferry ride ! )

Looks like there are nonstop flights from Victoria to Toronto and from there you can go to a lot of places in the eastern US.

Re: Washington State Aviation Thread - 2022

Flyinggoat - in normal times, would you consider taking the ferry to Sydney and flying out of Victoria ? The airport is pretty close to the ferry there. I always thought that would be a quick way for San Juan Islands people to get out of town, depending on where they’re going. Not sure how practical...

Re: The Rest of New England (BDL/PVD/MHT/PWM/ORH/BTV/HVN/BGR) Aviation Thread - 2021

Don’t forget the PVD-BDL Allegheny flights in the 70’s. You could probably make some connections at BDL but I’m guessing most people continued to PIT, PHL, etc. There were 13 in 1975 - almost a shuttle :-) http://www.departedflights.com/PVD75p1.html Departed flights seems very accurate in general, b...

Re: The Rest of New England (BDL/PVD/MHT/PWM/ORH/BTV/HVN/BGR) Aviation Thread - 2021

It’s 84 miles in a straight line but the flight from MHT-PVD went almost twice that - 159 miles, according to FlightAware. I guess avoiding traffic into Boston forces these flights to take roundabout routes ?

Re: Whats going on in SEA today (11/20)

Looks like 7 diversions to PAE:

AS519 - SNA
AA2211 - ORD
AS176 - JNU
AS85 - ATL
AS163 - AUS
AS545 - ONT
AS321 - SJC

Re: Whats going on in SEA today (11/20)

Why not just divert to Paine Field instead of someplace like Moses Lake ? Perfectly clear there this morning.

Re: Frontier announces PVD

I'm surprised the only connections they're showing through Denver are to SLC, PDX, and LAS. Are there really that many people going to those cities every day to fill a plane ? Maybe they'll add some other connection possibilities later ? Frontier as of late has been limiting connecting flights out ...

Re: New Alaska Airlines Flying from Paine Field

One thing to note about the noise - the new Boeing widebodies that routinely fly out of Paine are very quiet - especially with their light loads. I'm guessing that the Alaska 737's and (possibly) Allegiant MD-80's that will be coming will be a bit noisier. Although the Dreamlifters and AN-124's that...

Re: Small cities with 2 or more airports

It's a long time ago (1970's), but Piedmont used to fly to both Smith- Reynolds airport in Winston Salem and Greensboro airport. They're only about 20 miles away from each other. Even today, the metro area population is about 750k (must have been a lot less back then) http://www.departedflights.com/...

RE: Jennifer Aniston Wants New Personal Private Runway

Well, google says 3 acres = 130680 square feet. 130680/3200 = 40'. So, the only way it could work is if the lot was 40' x 3200', which is highly unlikely - it would also leave little room for a house, or a vineyard  <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies/smile.g...

Westbound flights were taking similar routes - so maybe they were just avoiding bumpy air, and not necessarily headwinds ? <a href="http://flightaware.com/live/flight/JBU687/history/20130710/2321Z/KBOS/KLAX" target="_blank">http://flightaware.com/live/flight/J...7/history/20130710/2321Z/KBOS/KLAX</a>

I think one reason for having more than one runway (apart from having lots of traffic) is so the airport can stay open while doing maintenance on one of the runways.
