              That is very cool. A few years ago my brother and his girlfriend flew into that airport. He described the approach & landing like this....

              Getting closer to the water...

              Getting really close to the water now...

              Damn...is our pilot retarded?

              Whew! There's a beach!

              Errrrt!!! Touchdown.....we've landed :D

                      I'd love to see a 1 eyed pilot do that.

                      Hell, I'd love to see a 1 eyed pilot.

                                  Down at Dulllas the airport is right next to the river. The have what they call the "channel" and is still open as far i as know. It runs right at the beginning of the runway and you can drive a boat right into it, sit there and watch the planes land right over your head. Pretty intense.

                                      Langing in LGA is the same thing.




                                      BTW those two pics were posted for the first time when they were testing out the internet.

                                          It's down, the 4 wheels are just dangling from the extended gear in that shot...

                                          The funniest vid of an airport like that I've seen is a 747 taking off from one. You can see a bunch of people on the beach get scattered into the water. Along both sides of the runway where the beach is much more crowded you can see the locals watching the idiot tourists get blown down.
