Welcome to Heaf-Row

The Troof is Out There!

The opening of Terminal 5 in all of its splendor really does require its very own thread.

What really happened:

The Heafrow opening reminds me of what happened last summer when USMC Harriers performed exercises with the RN on the British aircraft carrier.

The USMC Harriers performed more flight ops in one day than the whole RN did off two carriers in the entire Falklands War. Obviously, just like the tempo of operations in the RN, being in front of the telly to watch the football and getting enouff fish and chips and beer is more important than what should have been one of the the biggest events in British history with the opening of the brand spanking new terminal.

Even if Heafrow were demolished and rebuilt, Hong Kongs airport is still light years ahead.

The troof is out there. One more reason why London is falling behind.
