Two of Worlds Top 10 Most Dangerous Airports are in the United States

What makes an airport dangerous? Top of the list is a short runway followed by traffic congestion, how close is it to a city,difficult terrain and/or high altitude, take off and approach procedures and how well does the airport controller speak English. Two of the worlds top ten most dangerous airports are in the United States. Are you flying and and out of one of them?

Vail, Colorado "Eagle Co Airport" is dangerous because of the weather which is constantly changing and unpredictable. The weather can change between approach to mid-approach. The high altitude reduces the horsepower of the planes engines.

San Diego, California "Lindbergh Field" is dangerous because it is right on top of the cities mass population, has been called the "one runway wonder" and is the single busiest airport in the United States, so congested airspace and volume of traffic are a given. Back in the 1920's this was home for Charles Lindbergh who began his famous Paris flight from here. It is also known for having the worst aviation accident in California history, which also ranked among the top worst in all of the USA. Besides the runway being short a parking garage sits just 200 yards from the end of it, then there are the mountains and surrounding community.

So, you ask... what's the number one most dangerous airport in the world? Guess.... I'll let you know if you're correct. HINT: The runway is only 1,600 feet.

CAMEL SAFARI IN CABO

I've never been up close to a camel and always heard they were dirty, smelly and spit at people. I have to say nothing could have been further from the reality of my camel experience. These camels are well cared for with clean fur and they're happy, not overworked or poorly treated. In fact we had to do our safari on Friday because the camels do not work on Saturdays! It was a smooth ride and very comfy, no spitting, bad smells or aggressive behavior. The camels even gave kisses! There was a lot attached to this excursion and it was well worth the $100 and the lunch they provided was the best food I've eaten in all of Mexico. It's the only Camel Safari in Cabo.... in all of Mexico I believe. I met Sidi Amar, a lovely man from Egypt who brought the camels to Cabo and acclimated them to the environment. He has established many camel safari adventures around the world and was fascinating. After the camel ride they serve you a traditional tea which is sweet and you can visit while everyone takes close-up pictures with the camels. This is a must do when in Cabo!
