Photos from HKG turn and some from Incheon

Polar742 · April 7th, 2008, 15:03

Here are some shots I took while at my home-away-from-home in Incheon The Seoul suburb with the airport, and from my day turn to HKG.

This is pretty much it. To the left is the terminal...

The E-Mart...the department store by the hotel. I found some great chips and salsa there....yummmm

Next door to one of our -400s

Facing an A-340-600 prior to takeoff in ICN

Nice photos...

They've got a tower for each runway, eh?

Once again, great shots! Do you ever have the chance to go and explore Seoul? It's a unique place IMO.

Yes, but not at this hotel. When we stay downtown, I try to get out and see stuff. It takes a bit not to get lost!!! All the buildings are tall, and it is quite different from the states or Europe to navigate.

I'm looking forward to doing the DMZ tour one day.

...BTW, I don't know why there are two towers. There's only 2 runways there....

I wish I knew. Everything is turns, thus overnights in, from ICN

one may be for a main airline that has a major hub there.

possibly one is for just ground.

these are all assumptions.

edit: this is what the wiki has to say.

At the Air Traffic Control Tower, controllers provide 24-hour aerodrome control services to aircraft operating at the airport. A Backup Air Traffic Control Centre/Tower constructed to the north of the ATCX is available for operational use in the event normal services provided in the ATCX are disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. Apart from serving as an operational backup, the facilities are also used for air traffic control training.
