What is this music?

[SDMullis]

@rouschno1 It is just some royalty free music that came with my video editing program.

@SDMullis Thanks for the quick answer, and thanks for posting this vid. Do you by chance remember or have any video of Denver Beech from the eighties?

[SDMullis]

@rouschno1 Sorry, I do not. To be honest, I am not even sure what that is.

I miss those Stapleton days. I was there the last day it was opened. The last flight out was Continentals DC-10 flight from Denver to Paris. I will always remember Stapleton 1929-1995!!!

Yeah, all they needed was an extra runway or two, and the airport would have been fine.

More gate space at Stapleton than at DIA. Sad it's gone.

@shaithis60 I guess you're right. It just seems that usually cities pick one airport and stick with it. So much has happened at Stapleton that it brings back great memories. We don't get very big planes at DIA such as DC-10 any more, just 737s and a320s.

Nice video of Stapleton International airport! That airport closed in 1995 due it needed more space! I wish They could keep this airport!!!!! Nice video!!!!!

Oh, man! This was filmed around the time we used to change planes at Denver on our flights from Pheonix to Omaha! Cant believe its gone now. I especially enjoyed seeing the old Frontier 737s with the orange and white logo again. Makes me feel like I'm 16 again and on vacation. Thanks so much for posting.

i'm glad that old airport is gone that name was horrible the new airport in nicer bigger

@exitwest I agree with exitwest! I'm glad they built the new airport. The new airport is larger, has more space for building into the future, and I imagine isn't too much of a nuisance to nearby homeowners.

I have never been to Stapleton Intl Ariport before. I only have been to DIA many times

@flydude1063

- inadequate separation between runways, leading to extremely long waits in bad weather

- little or no room for other airlines that proposed/wanted to use Stapleton for new destinations

- a lawsuit over aircraft noise, brought by residents nearby Park Hill

- legal threats by Adams County to block a runway extension into Rocky Mountain Arsenal lands

- traffic congestion that was building up on the Quebec exit

So no, that airport wouldn't have been "fine"

[flydude1063]

Tell me how that's ridiculous? There is no more gate space at DIA. There was a whole concourse and a half empty at Stapleton for the last several years it was in operation. So explain how its ridiculous?

[exitwest]

@flydude1063 - you must not live in Denver anymore or you'd know that's ridiculous
