[Rhodes22-list] Pictures from the office

[Herb Parsons]

When my wife and I flew to Cozumel the first time, I was struck by the 
"International Airport", how the jungle came right up to the edge of the 
runway.

I suppose that reality is, if your wing is off the edge of the runway, 
it doesn't matter if it's grass below the wing, or a tree severing the 
wing, the pilot's where he's not supposed to be. Obviously, the RESULT 
of the pilot error would be more severe  though

Our "civilized", sanitized exposure to airports - wide multi-lane 
runways, tubes where you walk in air-conditioned or heated comfort from 
the waiting area directly to the plan, always make for a stark contrast 
when you go to other parts of the world.

Not that this really applies to the pics, but the runway shots brought 
back memories.
