Wonderful video Peter but as to where I don't have a clue.

Be interested to know who made that airport wouldn't mind that myself.

Regards

Not very good at reading posts either Bob. The answer has been posted :lol:

I didn't have a clue where it was to be honest but after Peter Lumsdens suggestion, I googled and googled and googled a bit more and found a picture of that rather unique terminal building.. at Leipzig-Halle ;)

Yes indeed it is Leipzig-Halle by Aerosoft and the video is of course Aerosoft's AES working. I have practically all of Aerosoft's airports and I regard them as my best really...But Fly Tampa's Kai Tak is certainly up to par with them. I'm very fond of the AES experience as well and I will probably only buy airports that offer this facility. I note that I have 66 airports with AES operating and there are 172 other airports available with AES.

BTW another nice feature at Leipzig-Halle is that great taxiway bridge over the top of an autobahn busy with traffic and a parallel railway with high speed trains running...I taxied in that way in the Trident and was going to include it in the video as I taxied out...Sadly the take-off runway was the close one and the bridge was not required :)

Eric...the voice of the ground engineer is Mathijs Kok of Aerosoft :)
