Layover adventures

That's my favorite place in the world. My wife and I were married in the townhall in Torshavn. What were you flying that you got to stop there for 24 hours?

Theyve started some limited service to SWF now. Apparently the runway was lengthened just enough to get A320NEOs in there now from the US. I am very tempted.

They lengthened the runway over there about 10 years ago and have been flying 320ceo and 320neo aircraft in and out for a while, although it's a pretty sporty landing. The SWF service was just for a few weeks over the summer. Hopefully they add in more service next year. Easiest way to get there otherwise is through CPH with 2 flights on most days. If you go, let me know and I can give you any info you need.

Hanoi Hilton was interesting to check out on my layover

You find the rest of our guys? I believe well over 1000 never made the "Hilton" guest list, and were known survivors at least initially. Some could be attributed to the Laotian, Cambodian, or just even the rural farmer's penchant for immediate execution. But others traveled. CIA knows it. Some probably to the USSR. What a disaster. To your post though, it would be a very interesting place to visit, in a really somber way.
