New Runway at Piedmont Triad International (GSO)

Emily and I were riding through Greensboro a few weeks ago. I've been meaning to ride by to see the new runway at GSO, and this was a good opportunity. We took some pictures, although it's hard to see the runway from the low angles we were able to see it from. Once it opens I'll fly up there and request to land on the new runway to get some better pictures.

The runway is being constructed because of the new FedEx hub that has been built at GSO. This should make for some pretty amazing plane watching, as FedEx uses big planes (A310s and MD-11s, among others). As a hub, they'll be coming in and out frequently. With that and the Honda Jet factory based on the field, GSO is really emerging as quite the contributor to the aviation industry in NC. Pictures Below...

Kind of hard to see, but here is new runway 23R at GSO

Freshly built FedEx hub. This will make GSO a good plane watching airport.
