THH..good one and it says one hell of a lot for the US strips. JFK is still a 1960's airfield desperately trying the game of catch up. SFO, we know is the same and lets not even start with Chicago. Its time that the FAA and ICAO got their aviation heads back on again and injected a shed load of "fit for purpose" into ATC and airfield systems. You can almost expect this in places like Jakarta..another fine mess, (07L, no ILS and NO PAPI offered up at NIGHT!!)..I digress..but the yanks need to get their fingers out and smell the odours from the coal face..irrespective of Asiana's stick n rudder skills,...the smell aint good!!
