Syracuse Hancock International AFCAD
Posted: 08 Mar 2008, 17:06
I'm proud to bring you yet another AFCAD, this one for KSYR.
This is the first AFCAD I have actually created, but until the other day the 174FW parking was nothing realistic, therefore I have gone in and fixed that. All airline gates/assignments are real and up to date, and the 174FW parking is as realistic as google Earth will let me.
On another note, flying back home the other day (jetBlue KSYR-KJFK) JFK decided to put itself on a ground hold just as we took the runway, so we taxied off, taxied to the other side of the active runway entrance, and shut down for about an hour and watched all the planes come and go in front of us....including the F-16s. It was late dusk so dark, and let me tell you when those things go full power it's deafening, and then when they go into afterburner it's impossible to hear anything. I knew what was going on, but the deer in headlights look on my fellow passaengers until they saw those F-16s race down the runway out our left side with a 100ft flame behind them was PRICELESS.
And that my friends was my motivation to finish this correctly
EDIT: After flying into KSYR on FS yesterday, there were 4 Dyess B-1Bs as well as a pair of Langley Eagles awaiting me at the Guard's apron
I love how you never know what you're gonna find where
