Good grief, I never knew Funchal's runway was like that! Aqueducts are for water, viaducts for roads...so is this an air duct ? ;-)

An interesting site.
The
Creepy Beach Sculptures To Scare Off Sunbathers link made me laugh. Who thinks up these ideas?

Garry, you might be thinking of Honolulu. That's taxiway RB to Rwy 08R.

Although not now used, the B1347 crosses the runway at East Fortune: gates would be shut for movements, it got particularly busy years ago when it was used as a replacement for Edinburgh when the (then) new runway and other work was ongoing

The Taxiway a Honolulu is a great place to watch the US Navy putting to see -- also from some friends who have access to Hickam its a great place to fish
