Airport Beach
機場海灘
Barra Airport is probably the only airport in the world where planes land on the beach. BRR is situated in on the wide beach of Traigh Mhor, on Barra island, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. If you want to fly here commercially you will want to book with British Airways, which flies to Barra from Glasgow and Benbecula.
Barra機場可能是世界上僅有的飛機降落的海灘 。這片海灘坐落于蘇格蘭外赫布里底群島Barra島一處名為Traigh Mhor的寬闊海灘上 。如果你想搭乘航班到那里的話,你可得到英國航空公司訂票哦!從格拉斯哥和本貝丘拉島都可抵達 。
The airport is literally washed away by the tide once a day, and if you arrive on a late afternoon flight, you may notice a couple of cars in the parking lot with their lights on, which provides pilots some added visibility, since the airport is naturally lit. Needless to say you probably don't want to hang out at Barra Airport beach, unless you are an aviation junkie, in which case Barra Airport has a fool proof system, as sign that reads: "Keep off the beach. When the windsock is flying and the airport is active."
這座機場有一次完全被海水淹沒了,如果你搭乘的是下午晚些時候的班機,你就能看到機場附近停著的車是亮著燈的,以此來提醒飛行員 。也許,除了飛機發燒友,沒人想在Barra海灘散步,因為Barra機場有一套安全自鎖系統,上面標示著:當風向標在轉動,并且機場正在運作的時候,請遠離這片海灘 。
