Airport in Gibraltar - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

So there's a tiny peninsula on the south of Spain called Gibraltar. The Spanish and British have fought wars over possession of the peninsula and its giant limestone rock (the Prudential rock is based off the Rock of Gibraltar). Because it is owned by Britain but surrounded by water on three sides and Spain on the fourth, air arrivals are often needed. The runway for the airport starts over the water, and crosses the main route onto the peninsula and to the city itself. Traffic often has to stop for airplanes to taxi by, and vice versa. I visited here several times in the 80s when my dad was stationed in Spain, and I always thought it would be scary to land there, miss the runway by being a little short and SPLASH.

I remember going there when I was 9 and I was thinking "We're gonna fall off!"

I went there when I was 9 also! And again at 10 and 11, then not again until 20. When were you there, maybe you thought I was an obnoxious tourist chasing the Barbary Apes?

I actually didn't fuck with the apes, I thought they were cool, and I didn't want to unwittingly give them a human disease and wipe them out, the Spaniards are just waiting to take the rock back, and the apes are one of the few things keeping them at bay.
