Airport infrastructure

airplane as soon as I saw bloody dead bodies lying down on the dry, cracking floor from my clear glass window. From its appearance, the country seemed deserted, looking as if it was abandoned for the past hundred years. As I continued my walk in the airport, waiting for my administration work to be finished, I looked out the big glass window, observing local citizens who are suffering from the deserted environment, malnutrition, deaths, poverty, depression. Contrasting to the fresh, natural air…

I sat in my seat silently as I watched the clouds bounce pass the small airplane window. I sighed in relief as I heard the pilot finally announce that we were landing in the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City. The whole atmosphere was so new to me. I finally got of the crowded plane and grabbed my bags from the baggage claim and made my way outside. I saw plenty of people looking my way, and It made me oddly nervous, especially after what I heard about the city. I…

Seconds slowly faded to minutes as those minutes crept to hours. Fourteen hours later of sitting in a confined aircraft, I finally reached my paradise. It was a break from the world I needed to escape from. As I strided off that plane, I felt all the layers of my worries peel off and remain behind me. With a recent court case involving work, my dad being hospitalized, and being dumped by my boyfriend over text I needed and escape and here it was. Ten days on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu…

1) For this assignment, I watched the first episode of Narcos, a Netflix series based on Pablo Escobar, the drug tycoon of Colombia, with the sound turned off. In the first ten minutes, I could see a plane flying over the capital city Bogota. Three telephone tappers were trying to get connected with a phone call of a drug lord. They were wearing casual dress. They were constantly moving their headphones which was likely to show that they were not able to hear the conversation properly. They…

"Cherokee 952, you are cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on…

so long..and I've been waiting for this day since I left. I have to get up early tomorrow morning just to catch the flight, 5am?! Can you believe that? (6:49 am)Here at the airport, ready to go now. This business trip took long than expected and I miss my family oh so much. Once I get there, they'll meet me in the airport, we'll run and hug and kiss like we haven't seen each other in an eternity. Hopefully we'll get lunch after because I am just starved but too excited and busy to find the…

Paulo. Both my nerves and current cold contributed to my mix of emotions. I was both excited and exhausted with a throbbing headache that could be related to someone pitching a baseball at my head several times and never missing. We arrived at the airport in the small town we planned to build a house for a woman and her children. Immediately, it could be seen, by…

Sitting in the Chicago airport late one summer evening, waiting for my flight to board, I stared at the wall, wondering how on earth we all got to where we were. I certainly never thought I would be going into my last year of high school with my dad living halfway across the country in some distant, large city with his new girlfriend. School induced enough anxiety on its own. Then again, nobody plans for or expects these things to happen; nobody gets married and has a kid, thinking, I’ll give…

On February 12, 2009, Colgan Air Flight 3407 experienced a stall warning during its final approach into Buffalo International Airport. The two pilots responded by pitching up the airplane without applying maximum engine power. This mishandling of stall warning induced the airplane to stall. The airplane crashed into a residential area, killing 49 persons on board and 1 on the ground. The airplane that crashed in this accident was a Bombardier Aerospace Q400. The Q400 is a twin-engine airliner…
