Title: Always a nice sight
Post by: Spikes on April 20, 2011, 09:54:27 PM

To see some of the big boys around our retired AFB (Griffiss, now Int'l airport).

Not sure why it's considered International airport if there are no commercial flights in or out of it. It's the 2nd or 3rd choice for the space shuttle landing spot because of it's runway length (longest in the NE).
