Going LoCo

TORA, ASDA count for nothing if your into wind runway is at the foot of a hill!! Engine out climb performance is what counts on a twin, if you can use 10knts twc off 14 to get the same lift off 32 it says it all, BRS is on the top of a hill, for F**k sake, its like an aircraft carrier, the management of Leeds are playing to the crowd, in the same way LUFC were in talking about Leeds in Europe...........lets beat Millwall first before we talk about Barcelona.

If putting winglets on a 22 year old aircraft is about going to the states, well what can i say, it ain't going to happen, even Manchester is seeing a reduction in US traffic what makes anyone think Leeds is stronger

I am not anti Leeds far from it i have earned a living from it for more years than i care to remember but lets face it the airport is in the wrong place.....
