Thanks for that Beatcat and EI-Mick....sounds like building the airport on the top of a hill was not exactly an enlightened decision. Some things have always struck me about the airport....firstly, the way fog can descend on the airport within minutes, and then just as quickly disappear again! Secondly, the slope on the runway is quite visible from the terminal. And finally, has anyone ever noticed that they (ATC I presume) switch off the runway lights after every departure and arrival. I could understand it if there were only a few movements a day. Surely the electricity bill is not the issue
