Produktbeschreibung
What is involved in the daily ebb and flow of airline operations at a major airport? How do all the activities come together to make air travel a routine, mass-travel experience? Wouldn't it be interesting, maybe even exciting, to have an up close and personal view of landings and takeoffs? Air travel is a fascinating and often colorful business, but these days there is often little opportunity to learn about what makes it tick. You're probably familiar with airports from a variety of perspectives, including curbside, check-in, security checks, and at the boarding gate, but what about all the activities that take place outside, where the airplanes are? At many locations, you may not even get a full view of the aircraft you'll be flying on, and probably will go from one climate-controlled environment at the gate to another onboard, with little or no opportunity to see what is going on outside. Airport Airside at BWI takes you into this fascinating world and acquaints you with the players that make air travel go, literally, including both the aircraft and the people that operate and service them.
