And the same day I read this article on odd airports, I just randomly ran across this quote, perhaps no longer true, from the late Douglas Adams:
It is no coincidence that in no known language of the galaxy does there exist the expression ‘as beautiful as an airport’.
Twleslie does like this, and has always wanted to go to St. Maarten just for the landing pattern. Sort of like Hatton Cross in London, but with sand and bikinis. (Don't forget, Hong Kong used to have a multi-story housing project on its approach, too).
