      As a Brit, America holds a special place in my heart. My girlfriend lives in South Carolina and we make numerous trips throughout the year to spend time with each other. We get to share each other’s countries and I like to think, in its small way, brings the two countries even closer 🇺🇸🇬🇧

    I've never flown before (I live in England), and my only visit to an airport was to Newquay briefly a few years ago to see an Aer Lingus ATR turboprop take off whilst on holiday, but I'm hoping to fly for the first time next year to celebrate my 45th birthday. No idea where yet!

      Extremely Rare. Heathrow's Runways are 1,414 metres apart. The minimum separation required for simultaneous runway operations is 1,525 metres. Heathrow currently use one runway for landing and the other for departures. They do use both for landing early each morning but the Aircraft are staggered so they are not landing at the same time on each runway.
