To five guys that work at DFW International Airport, it's just another day on the job. Maybe! The one thing that is so different about this job is that like at home, the grass grows daily. And this lawn is the size of the island of Manhattan in New York.
With seven (7) active runways, miles of taxiways and more miles of access roads to things like fuel storage tank farms, or ILS farm for landing etc.,etc., the mower gang has 747s and A-380 coming in over their heads as they work. Some as close as 50-75 feet above their heads.
Airplane geeks, like me an thousands of others, love to get as close to the action as possible. Especially if you are a photographer. Just look at the people that hold on to the fence but still get jet blasted away on a little island beach community known at St. Maho Beach on the Dutch side of Saint Martin where the big planes land packed with vacationers coming to the Caribbean island.
I would take DFW any day of the year.
