GSO/PTI never really got the shine it deserved. Given how G'boro and Winston-Salem used to be the premiere cities in North Carolina - Greensboro used to be the second-largest city in the state for one thing, and Winston-Salem had a lot of major banking HQs before Charlotte did plus Piedmont was HQd in Winston Salem AND the tobacco company HQs before smoking became out of fashion - it makes me think about the missed potential there, but Raleigh-Durham Triangle began to start overshadowing the Triad back in the 80s and the rest is history.

I live in the Upstate of SC just to your south a bit, and Greenville/Spartanburg Intl (GSP) is my home airport. I cant tell you how many times gate agents at airports such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, or Chicago Midway have mispronounced Greenville as Greensville/Spartanburg or even Greensville/Spartansburg. (Bless their hearts) I guess they get it confused with Greensboro.

Great to see so much business going on on a rather small airport. My hometown airport (Groningen airport, The Netherlands) is way smaller and currently it only has charter operations to holiday destination around the Mediterranean Sea. Id love to see regular (feeder) flights to destinations like London, Paris, Copenhagen or Munich from my little hometown airport: )

The 10, 000 foot runway makes PTI a B-52 bomber capable facility and is used, like ILM Wilmington, for Air Force One touch and go practice. FedEx was going to move its main hub to PTI and close its Memphis hub, but that plan was put on hold years ago. ILM was also an emergency landing site for the space shuttle program and another cold war era B-52 rated field.

Although I'm a native of Tampa, Florida, GSO and I go a long way back. I fondly remember the days when Eastern and Delta both flew DC-9's and 727's, Piedmont flew 737's and GSO had its own airline, Bluebell (Wrangler) that flew CL-44 cargo turboprops to the Caribbean. I hope to be near GSO next week when I visit kin in Lexington. Thanks for GSO on the map!

It takes about 10 minutes for me to drive to PTI from my home in Summerfield NC. Despite the fact that a trip from GSO almost always involves a connection, there are many advantages to flying into and out of an airport such as this. I have had some really funny, unique and interesting experiences there which I can share if you are so interested.

It's interesting which airports are good and which aren't. I tend to find meet ones are better as the older ones have need constantly added to in a haphazard manor.
I'm a big fan of Billund airport in Denmark, and although I haven't been yet, Doncaster airport in the UK is supposed to be very nice.

Hey Jeb, have you ever flown out of Concord-Padgett? I live in Thomasville, almost directly between the 2. I am 30 minutes from PTI and 45 minutes from Concord. Just curious if you have been to both which you think is better.

You should check out the podcast Opposing Bases. They are 2 controllers based at PTI and talk about their experience flying and controlling at the airport. Maybe they could get you some good connections!

Hey Jeb, have they fixed the HORRENDOUS speed bump on taxiway delta between the two parallel runways? I thought I damage the lander gear taxing over that one day.

I live an hour away from there but I've never flown out of there because Southwest is the airline I use. RDU is my closest Southwest airport 2 hours away.

My home airport is JFK but LGA is where my heart is. I know its still considered sort of major but it definitely doesnt get enough love in my opinion.

The Aeromexico lounge at San Antonio MUST be the smallest lounge in all of the United States. At least, its the smallest I've ever been to.

Detroit metro airport is my favorite. It is also my hometown airport. The layout especially of the Delta terminal is unmatched.

Any way to find all direct routes out of GSO? I am a frequent flyer and have to drive to CLT or RDU for most of my flights.
