Runway 23 / 05
There's a lot of interesting stuff written about 23 / 05. I have landed a few times on 23. It was always an interesting experience. There was always plenty of whoooooo from the passengers. I remember doing a trip to Athens on a BA 757. It left terminal 4 and back tracked runway 23. It then did a 180 and launched off runway 23. It was late at night, so the airport wasn't busy. With regards to runway 05, I can rember seeing a few land on it, but that was extremely rare. I have often wondered when 23 was last used - does anyone know?
