Northwest Airlines (DC 9) Landing at Albany Intl (KALB)

Also, it would be cool if they had more pull offs at other airports to watch the planes take off and land. I could sit there all day and watch them.

Is this at the end of the runway by the Juvi Prison? I know you can get great video of them taking off over you head sometimes at the end of the runway by the Prison. I haven't done it but Iv been down there when one took off. It was pretty awesome.

haha Thanks! This was right before the cop stopped me from doing it. haha

[airlinefoodprez25]

i was watching planes at ohare and some pilots saw me and my dad and next thing you know 3 chicago police cars are there

[IloveSPIDERZ]

haha Really?  Did they ask you for ID, and what your doing there, and all that jazz? I must tell you, they are a nuisance. They were cool about it in the end, telling me to just ask next time. Apparently, they really upped the security (understandably) after 9/11.

[airlinefoodprez25]

all they did was say dont come again or we will arrest you. also we were really suspicious because we had a stereo we use to listen to atc and they could of thought it was a bomb

[IloveSPIDERZ]

but still? it's not against the law to do it!! Why would they say that?

[airlinefoodprez25]

i dont know, maybe it was a scare tatic just to renforce "dont come here again!"

[IloveSPIDERZ]

haha Probably.

I was just here today. My uncle is a CWO5 in the national guard and he just came home finaly!

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Nice!  Congrats!

[sigair]

Thanks, is this the runway by what is is Wade rd or something like that?

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Nope. It's the runway by Albany Shaker Road; Runway 1

[sigair]

Ahh okay. I kinda figured.

Like you said in the description, Air Force One did land here back in 95. My dad still has the photos that he took of it when he used to work here. What a sight

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Really? Nice, I would like to see that. My uncle saw it there too! I asked him how big the plane looked and he said "Way to big for that small airport!" haha But I know 747s can land here easily without a problem. It's just trying to find a place to put it, because it's soo big!
