1976 - short final approach to runway 9-left at Miami International Airport

Miami International Airport


On short final approach in a chartered Aero Commander (owner/pilot Steve Lapointe) while a Braniff DC-8 is towed midfield across the runway. Note the old style turnoff taxiways from runway 9L and the diagonal "Route 4" taxiway leading from the terminal to the 9L/12 runup pad. Other notes:

1. Old runway 12 is visible - this runway was moved 100+ feet to the southwest in the early 80's.
2. The E-Satellite was under construction and would not open for another year.


other sizes: small medium original auto
