seriously dont bother going to the tunnel…you will get a pretty obstructed view… go to Lawrence Bell… it is between Wherle and Aero…it is just a big business park area and the planes fly right over it (us for that matter) they literally get within a stones throw distance ---

Yep. Think they finished moving in over the summer. I had a flyer in the mail (for donations) and they said they were taking over the property because it was an ideal location being so close to the airport and all. ---

^^^ pretty sure its still open. closing the tunnel would fuck to many motorists, and the planes on the runway would be a greater terrorist concern then the Mercy chopper’s that are a pretty good distance away (flying tigers didnt exactly have a short driveway) and i have a feeling that tunnel is way stronger then it looks. i have a feeling they originaly built it bunker strength… massive amounts of steel and high strength concrete … if they hadnt they would have closed it after 9-11 due to security concerns ---
