Denver Airport - Terminal Building and Peir A from the air (2 May 2002)
Aviation Observations - 2002

During early 2002 several trips were made to Prestwick (EGPK), along with regular flights though Southampton and London Gatwick. One highlight was a visit to Exeter were several stored BAe146 were recorded.

In the spring we visited Idaho, flying through Denver. To the left is an aerial shot of Denver Airport showing the terminal building, peir A and the connectiong bridge over the Taxiway.

Late 2002 saw Stewart on assignment to Canada, so there have now not been many observations. However there have been a few flights through Toronto Airport.
