I have been on the ground side of this. Barriers come down and lots of security activity, and then an aircraft takes off or lands3 or 4 scheduled flights a day I think.
The airport in Gisborne (NZGS /GIS) NZ (North Island) has railroad tracks crossing the runway!

Tks for the kind words. I'm getting there. Just slow. I guess I'm impatient. I was always pretty active and now having to slow way down. LOL. They tell me a 65 year old man heals much slower, regardless of how much he may want too. LOL But I'll get there.
