Actually FLU makes sense, especially for those nonstops from China.

The A380 arrival will mark the grand re-opening of FLU airport. ;)

The flights from FLU are actually going to Japan, not China like some would expect. Also keep in mind that it's operatingwith AA's VTOL converted 772.

Are the noodle bar and baccarat table on the upper or lower deck?

I hear the A380s inboard-only thrust reversers were designed specifically for use on FLU's narrow runways.

Since we've created a monster that ended up with its own thread, maybe we can also get the intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue designated as a Navaid.

If FLU were reopened, the approaches might look a bit like this...

Pretty sure that the plate was valid as recent as 1982 when the airport closed.

There are a few nice anachronisms on the diagram, like the 3rd runway at LGA being in use and the references both to the TCA (today's Class B airspace), and the Teterboro FSS, which must have closed shortly after the chart was published, since the area's been covered by the Millville FSS since at least the mid 80s.
