Where else do you all think? I'm not particularly familiar with BOS. SNA has the same limitations as any single runway airport; you could just as easily name LGW, London Gatwick, which probably gets more traffic. Personally, I'd use SFO, San Francisco International, as an example of "how not to do it." Yes, it has two sets of parallel runways -- but they're too close together for dual operations in ILS conditions. Maybe they were far enough apart for contemporary planes when the runways were built, but now they're an embarrassment. >Clay - SEA Nick (IAD)
