OBB 85 Nicosia International Airport

Leste om Nicosia International Airport i det siste Airways (desember 2008) og ble fasinert over denne flyplassen.

Det var akkurat som om flyplassen var "frosset" i tid.

Flyplassen ble erklært UNPA (United Nations Protected Area) 16. August 1974.

Quote:
When ceasefire lines were drawn on 16 August 1974, the area declared as a United Nations Protected Area (UNPA) was included within the buffer zone.
Her er det noen bilder:

Her kan du lese litt om historien rundt NIC

Poster dette, og håper at det er flere enn meg som synes dette er en fasinerende flyplass.

Svigerinnen min jobbet der som ung trafikkassistent for mange år siden .. dette var under krigen i Libanon, og hun hadde et par tilfeller hvor hun var ensom nattevakt og det plutselig 'ramlet ned' en to-tre MEA-707'er som ikke kunne lande i BEY .... Da blei det liv ..

David Forward som skrev (litt usikkert om han fortsatt er med) i Airways jobbet for MEA tidlig på 80-tallet og var på flyplassen i Beirut da israelerne kom innom i 1982. Det var visst en "interessant" opplevelse. Han var med siste fly ut.

Jeg har tatt den avbildede Tridenten nærmere i øyesyn for noen år siden. Trist, men likevel en interessant historie. Nicosia er verdt et besøk hvis man er interessert i storpolitikk og konsekvensene av dette.

Leste også denne reportasjen i Airways - må ha vært spennende å få komme innenfor.
