Doncaster airport. Just a little rant (not like me I know)

How loud are the planes going into doncaster sometimes. And if they got any lower the floodlights at Oakwell would have to duck.</p>

Just thought i'd share that like</p>

 

Planes have to get low to land. FACT!

 

I didnt realise they had to get so low so far away from the airport though

Which they obviously do

 

RE: I didnt realise they had to get so low so far away from the airport though

I doubt that, in terms of flying, Barnsley is all that far from Donny.

 

I wouldnt know

I think they should come in high and drop low at the last minute just to scare the passengers. It would make flights much more fun when the plane points its nose at the ground

 

RE: I wouldnt know

flew into doncaster last monday from amsterdam. The pilot totally messed up the landing and rather than gliding onto the runway, he basically dropped the plane.... totally **** ourselves

 

thats what i'm talking about

Beats the usual in-flight entertainment every time

 

Does it always smell so bad around there?

When I went skiing to Italy last month we flew from there. It stank to high heaven approaching the airport. Is there a maggot farm or something nearby?</p>

 

yes. They call it the earth stadium

</p>

 

I do. I've seen them on telly

does that count?

 

I used to work within the fence

Quite near the end of the runway. The week of the airshow and the practice week before it was hard to get any work done. Absolutely deafening.</p>

 

You work in Farnborough

What a dump that place is....had the misfortune to spend a week on a course down there at the IBM offices.
