What a nonsense thread is this. :bash:

I wonder the fact that some people just post before even think or look around.

For years on end we've got an excellent thread on airports and aviation. Do you really think that it is necessary or practical that all that fantastic info posted there should be repeated in this thread??? The same pictures can all be found in that special thread.

All large European airports are represented in that world forum topic!

Porto's International Airport is wonderful. :eek2:

Nemo · Oct 27, 2005

@ARPELS

Because its double effort. Why a European thread if you can find all the news of all major EU Airports already in the airports and aviation thread?? Is that you're way of logic?
