Airport Guide for Pilots
The first app for iPhone and iPad, developed by Airport Guide, is here and aptly named Airport Guide for Pilots in the iTunes App Store.
Airport Guide has Terminal Maps for 300+ Airports
Airport Guide now has terminal maps for over 300 major worldwide airports. You can see them on the Maps page for any major airport. Just click on the Green pulldown navigation bar to find the page. An example can be seen at http://airportguide.com/airport/maps/LAX
In the future, a single page listing all terminal maps will be posted. Stay tuned!
URLs Simplified on AirportGuide.com
A heads up for everyone. After years of procrastination, the URL structure has been completely changed on the site. Unfortunately, if you have bookmarks into any of those long URLs (approx. 600K pages), they may take you to the page not found page on the site. I looked at a way to minimize this reindexing of the site but just decided there was no easy way to do it with that many pages.
Just know that the site is continuing to improve on a daily basis and this indexing issue is only temporary.
Here is an example of what was done. Say you wanted to see the Flight Arrivals for Brisbane airport in Australia. The old link looked like this:
http://airportguide.com/airport/Australia/Queensland/Brisbane-YBBN-BNE/flight_arrivals.php
Took a flight on a B-17 out of Zamperini Field
Took a flight on a B-17 out of Zamperini Field (KTOA) in Torrance, CA!!! What a rush that was. We had to take off sitting on the floor with these old seat belts due to FAA regulations. As soon as the plane lifted off we were free to explore the plane.
