    BBC did a series on airports. Here's one on Youtube in full length: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgIXk-xXSKE&feature=share&list=PLo2QruBOQF902l8g2z-yf2JeguwR2rirN&index=2

    I haven't watched this or the others in the series (you'll find them on youtube too) but I'd say they're worth a watch.

    Zyox.

    Fantastic. Aboslutely bloody fantastic. Thanks.

    Thought some of the phrasing was odd, but only when i got to the Ops stands for Convenience bit did i realise what it was. Surprisingly accurate really.

    Thanks again.

    Thats what makes it so funny isnt it, they're following nearly correct procedures and checklists but there's an undertone of absurdity that is hilarious! Its a 747 simulator that they've obviously been shown how to actually fly with some element of realism. Classic!
