Adelaide Glass Aerobridges
It was probably not reported in the national news media, but AAL took delivery of the new glass sided aerobridges this weekend.

They look good and should retain a feeling of being on the apron as you board the aircraft protected from the elements.
And I can report that the view from the new terminal is stunning. You get a great view of the touchdown area on RWY 23.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome Adelaide Airport. Adelaide now has the wonderful technology of aero bridges. You have deserved this modern technology for may years now, remaining the last significant australian capital city without world class airline transport.
Now that your airport has begun the path toward the present you will be able to enjoy the creature comforts of entering the arrivals lounge of your city from the most sophisticated means of transport that the planet has to offer, without having been rained upon or blown away by the winds that most airports are subject to.
The South Australian government are pleased that you now can expect what every other Australian has had at their airport for years
and we would like to thank privitisation for doing what we wouldn't in the past, even though all users of the airport now pay three times what it's worth.
Please note that the glass walkways to your aircraft provide panoramic views of the tarmac which we are sure you are all interested in, and we have imported these devices from lands afar without giving Australian industry half a chance to do the same thing for a reasonable price.
Aero Bridges aren't all that hard to make really, providing up, down, left, and right, forward and backward motion to a couple of shipping containers that concertina together, yet for your convenience we have chosen to import these machies at great cost. It is for your own good, after all you Australians are a nation of proletariates, even though South Australia is a state crying out for industrial expansion, and has been the home of invention in Australia!!

Well only the best will do for the strangest city and home to the worst perpetuated and sickest crimes in Oz.
The Truro murders.
The Beaumont children.
The family trials and tribulations.
Channel 7 newsreader having his son kidnapped and murdered.
Snowtown etc etc.
Friends (non SA) living there called it "land of the shallow grave" because every time they opened the Adelaide papers a body was being dug up from a foundation or building site somewhere in SA.
I also remember visiting the suburb of Elizabeth.
Need I say more??
15 year old girls pushing prams with their 14 yo boyfriends in tow and wearing beanies on a 42 degree day.
Obviously the cultural capital of Australia in the making.
These bogun types probably do a day trip to the airport just to watch the aerobridges extend and retract !
Im surprised the owners of Adelaide airport dont charge visiting fee because it will be a real attraction for some months.
Sure as hell beats the Barossa I say............
Strange place and even stranger people.
And who was it that said jokingly that the rabbit-proof fence wasnt erected to keep rabbits out, it was done to keep the people in !!

Seems like a great idea, providing the cost is not substantially higher than a normal aerobridge.

TIMMEEEE, I had no idea the city you live in is so perfect that you can criticize Adelaide so. There can be no denying that some nasty things have happened over the years but consider that some monstrous crime just might be lurking around your corner as yet unfound.
I'm sure your neighbourhood is so crime free, you don't even lock your door at night - right, yeah sure!
I'm also sure that your own place of self declared perfection has it's own little Elizabeth somewhere!
To condemn the Barossa demonstrates your plain ignorance of the best wine region in the world although I would doubt if a beer swilling buffoon like you would actually know anything about it.
Adelaideans play Aussie rules (AUSTRALIAS OWN NATIONAL GAME) not that stupid hybrid pastime that boofs like you obviously enjoy and Adelaide brought the F1 Grand Prix to OZ and ran it better than anyone. I could go on but I would reach the limits of your attention span.
If you don't like Adelaide, then don't come and by the way, he was and still is a Channel 9 newsreader, so before you start opening your mouth with complete dribble, get your facts right and look in your own backyard.

P47.
Me thinks you need a sense of humour transplant !!
Ever heard of a joke P47 ??
Yes pal, I proudly live in the city that brought to the world the Redfern riots and Macquarie Fields no less !
At least out "west" when the temp reaches into the forties in Sydney our proud teenage Mums and Dads arent wearing beanies to hide their scars.
Self declared perfection you called it P47 - I think not !
Channel 9 or Channel 7 or whatever - its still a god damned sickening crime or perhaps you're trying to lessen its impact with verbal diarrhoea over a mistaken channel selection.
It still doesnt change what happened.
P47 - you really need to loosen up.
Yes, I do lock my doors in my "nice" neighbourhood and yes P47, it sounds like you need a severe night on the piss followed by a desperately needed blowjob !!
Just chill and stop taking everything so personally.

From the cab passing through adelaide the other day, happened to see one of these airbridges seemingly stuck under the traffic information sign that straddles the inroad to the airport.
Didnt see the outcome unfortunately but lets see.....
carting a glass structure around on the back of a semi trailer.....might want to check the bridge heights enroute....

I can just imagine now how pleasant it will be, standing in queue in one of these aerobridges on a sunny January Afternoon.
I trust they will at least make some attmept at ventilating them with airconditioned air, unlike the aerobridges in Brisbane.

Well TIMMEEEE, it was a joke was it? Seems to me that from the start to the end of your ramblings it was total condemnation without a hint that it may have been a joke. (sorry if I missed it!)
I take on board you have admitted to some shortcomings of your preferred place of abode and that is admirable.
I DO have a sense of humour and quite frankly I DO NOT need to loosen up (or down in this case) to your level of so called humour. I like most South Ozzies are not proud about what has happened here but you just launched didn't you; so I quite rightly and justifyingly responded. Sounds to me like you can't take a bit of it back!
Accept that I responded appropriately in defence of my domain and we'll call it quits, OK !
Cheers

"The City of Churches" sure as hell 'as got a dark side to it.
In addition to all them things Timee mentioned, hows about the drownings of the homos down by the river.
Fer such a small population Adelaide's got a higher than average number of "wierd" murders.
Maybe thats the reason why their puttin in the glass aero bridges!
Be seein' youse round!

Oz Ocker.
Thanks for pointing out the drownings of the heterosexually challenged and I agree with your opinion wholeheartedly about the number of "weird" murders in such a small population.
P47.
I still stand by my posting about you needing a night on the piss and a desperately needed blowjob though !!
You waded in boots and all with absolutely no hesitation.
That was enforced to myself (and others) by your attempting to justify Adelaide's stature with the Grand Prix (running it better than anyone else I believe you said).
You can debate that with your Victorian brethren.
AFL?????
Yes, a game I do enjoy being a Swans member but Rugby Union is the only true international game of football and yes P47, it is the game they play in Heaven, not hell !!!!
And no P47, I am not a rugby league fan so your assumptions were incorrect and unjustified because I never brought sport into this in the first place.
And did I mention the fact that you Adelaide people speak strangely???????????????????

TIMMEEEE, You say we speak strangely? Well I could easily say that about you. If your ear is not attuned to different States' lingo and pronunciation then perhaps it's simply because you have led a sheltered life. You are indeed an intolerent critter aren't you & I think your brain has spent too much time up your fellow competitors arse playing that boofhead game you love so.
TIMMEEEE you are a waste of space and an oxygen thief !
I have nothing further to add.
