For the posters up in arms about the ils being out of service: I hope you realize not every runway in the world is equipped with them, in fact the vast majority do not have them. The ils wasn't turned off to save on the power bill or any silly reason, they are being moved to accomodate new runway thresholds. The options are either go without or close the airport. We you consider closing the airport a good idea, I suggest you carefully study your next trip as you just might be flying somewhere workout an ils even installed! Heaven forbid, sometimes the local air traffic control doesn't even have a radar system to tell us what to do!
