This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You don't need two terminals. Planes wait at stop lines until they can cross a runway. Some airports have parallel runways that are far enough apart to let two planes safely land at the same time.

I guess it works better when you’re not at a training airport. Where I’m at, the only time we use the second runway is for a different group altogether
