The inner workings of the Leeds-Bradford
Airport is a mystery. I’m told by my friend that it’s mostly used for private
flights; though he did manage to fly to Amsterdam a few years ago. From this I had
visions of people taking flying lessons and VIPs using the site for their
private jets to get up and down the country. I’ve driven past it a few times
and even had to make a U-turn in the car park as I’ve made a wrong turn. It’s
got traditional barbed wire fencing, and from a distance the terminal doesn’t
look particularly big; and neither do the planes. There’s a great viewing area
behind the main road, and many people like to park up in their cars and watch
the planes come in. Some even have timetables and only get out of their cars
when they see a plane of interest. But the planes that use it must be of
commercial size as a quick internet search shows that there are many world-wide
destinations available. Perhaps my friend needs to plug in and explore his
local area more.
