Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Feel safer at Manchester international airport due to Oshkosh is now on sceen. The finest fire fighting vehicle in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Having the opportunity to turn wrenches on trucks like these has been a honor thru out the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEISaMLhjEk <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uEISaMLhjEk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited December 19, 2014 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) I haven't been there, what's wrong with Manchester? From the video looks like a new fabulous, huge, flat, non congested, state of the art terminal, with more then needed 6 brand new crash trucks. With a state of the art fire training facility Outher then maybe being out of the way. Looks like the airport I would like to land at. Probley doesn't have any runway incursions, looks like the perfect place to fly in and out of. From what I have seen of Heathrow, looks like a mad house. Remember, congestion means danger! All those little planes moving back and forth across live runways means that ground controllers better be on their game all the time. One sleepy controller could mean 100s of lives. And haveing the worlds largest planes in and out all the time explains it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmD5w7z8iDk Edited December 20, 2014 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Manchester airport isn't that bad. I fly from there quite often and haven't had any problems. The facilities are good, layout's reasonable and it's pretty easy to get to. It's nice to know they're investing in top line emergency equipment, although I hope it never have to see it in action!

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Not a problem my good friend. It doesn't take much to need the trucks to come out. Or could be like this airport. I woulden't want to be there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qyZFASOAe0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
