Lots of stations have their runways close to mainroads etc, so yeah, putting up red lights is fairly common.
I like the first one. Lots of detail and it looks really good.

We had that at MCAS Kaneohe, had to cross the runway to get to the other side of the base, it was set up like a railroad crossing. If they were doing touch and goes you could expect to sit for a long time ::)

Land on the numbers at Brize and you're about 50 yards from the road...
...more importantly, you're there for take off too, so that road is very close to jet blast!
What a nice aeroplane that is.

It's the same at Filton with the A38...they just tell the crew not to engage full power until they pass a certain point

They probably don't get many max weight take offs at Filton!

Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:33 pm1 and 3 are excellent, as usual Mic. Now number 4 would make a good base image for an edit - i.e removing the VC10 and incorporating an Fs VC20 methinks!
