Correct.

Just a few time BEagle! The Azzolini Beach Hotel, great pizzas, horrible red wine headaches. All fond memories.

Was Punte Raisi airport, renamed Falcone - Borsellino airport after the two judges who were murdered by the Mafia within a month of each other while driving from the airport to Palermo city. They got Falcone with a bomb which left a crater that cut off all six lanes of the Autostrada. The new terminal took 12 years to complete, it was left half done for 10 years as the Mafia had bled the money away in extorsion.

Mr TM, you have the con. But no obscure heli landing sites!
