Based out of there for a few days for a local airshow back in the 90s. Got the third degree (even then, pre 11/9 days!) trying to return to our aeroplanes with the 'distinctive' paint scheme and our 'distinctive' matching flying overalls. They didn't seem to know that a domestic flight required nothing in the way of license, Passport etc. Security guards who obviously had small person/big ego syndrome..

Haven't been back since, and don't intend to unless i'm on fire.


PS Blackpool is another place where I haven't been since due to the 'Security' nonsense.. In a Mil helo too!
