    This seems to be the same airfield. Don't think I'll be going there in a hurry!

    One is a Runway and the other is a dirt strip so don't think they are the same place. The IL18 ends up over-running or going sideways off the runway onto some dirt.

    The airstrip at the DC-6 landing looks interesting - the airport terminal consists of a row of white plastic chairs and white tape, while the control tower is represent by a guy sitting in the raised bucket/scoop of a mechanical digger.

    Looks like the sort of thing Michael O'Leary would be thinking about for a private ryanair airport...

    O'Leary will never run an airport - he relies on them making a loss to get his traffic...

    The T2 extension at Copenhagen is closer to what he'd actually deem as suitable:

    The facilities here amount to a small toilets and one single vending machine before the passport gates (for non-schengen flights) and the same again after the gates. Its accessed down a few hundred metre long corridor with no travelators.

    Thats interesting - is the new terminal there privately run or owned by the airport authority? I'm surprised at the lack of facilities - I had always assumed that airports relied heavily on food concessions and post and pre security shopping for making money. It does look a bit bleak.
