Have any of you flown in/out of Louisville, KY? I've got a trip coming up to southern Indiana (again). Previously I've always gone to Indy and driven south. It's a slightly longer drive north but it will probably be a wash if there's less traffic.
Comments?
I flew in and out of Louisville several times in late ’07 and early ’08 on a project. What do you want to know?
We may have had the same destination. Were you visiting an engine manufacturer?
I want to know how the Louisville airport experience compares to Indianapolis.
I can not compare Louisville to Indy, but I choose Louisville over Cincinnati any day. Louisville is much easier to get in and out of than Cincinnati.
Headed to Columbus, eh? :wink:Quote:

Nothing really stands out in my memory about Louisville, which I guess is a good sign. I only tend to remember the airports where I have a lousy experience. Have I told you about the wonderful airport security in Gillette, Wyoming? :rant:
In 1967, I did my Basic and AIT at Fort Knox. The bus ride in and out of the Louisville airport was uneventful. Things may have changed by now. ;-)
Like jet powered planes! ;)Quote:

Maybe by now, but back in 97 I did my OSUT at Knox and it was pretty uneventfull too. Also drove through there various times between 97 and 07 and I preffer the Louisville area to the Cincinnati are.Quote:

Look out now, IIRC, I rode up there on a American Airlines 707. And, we did have breech loading rifles, even in 1967.::Banana::Quote:

And, M114's
I'm glad things have gotten better.
I worked on some 707's for a government contractor in '95-99. They all ranged from 1967-1969 models. The military likes 707's, aka KC-135's.Quote:

Last time I was at the Louisville airport it had a lot of construction... That's all I remember though.
I have family in that area and have flown in and out of Louisville with small children and never had any issues. last time I flew (year ago) the security lines weren't bad either. I see no reason to avoid Louisville.
When were you there?Quote:

Late 2008 I believe... it's been a while.Quote:
