I had the pleasure of attending a session put on by Nav Canada and the Calgary Airport Authority to explain some of the changes forthcoming to the airspace and the facilities of the International Airport. In the course of the visit we were treated to a look at the new expansion that is underway including the new parallel runway and the associated taxiways plus the new control tower.
This is Calgary's current control tower which stands at about 140 feet high at the operational level. |
Some of the assembled operations folks from various aviation concerns in the Calgary area. |
Our tour guide gave a most informative walk through of this impressive building. |
The realism of this simulator is amazing! |
Here is the artists rendering of the soon to be constructed new Calgary International Airport control tower. With the antennas on top, it will measure over 300 feet tall. |
A little better view of the new International concourse tinted green. The new building will basically double the size of the existing airport terminal when it is completed. |
The best view from ANY desk job ANYWHERE! |
Air Canada A330 touches down on arrival from Germany. |
No two ways about it...best view in the world! |
Cool Stuff Ken!
