Talk:Bangor International Airport

International Airport

If this is the only international airport in Maine, shouldn't the PWM page be updated to point out that dispite its name it is not international? ...and if PWM does have international flights, then this page should be corrected. --PatrickD 20:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Answer: There are three international airports in Maine--Houlton, Bangor and Portland. Just because none of them have scheduled international flights does not mean that they are not "international" airports. The designation comes from the presence of Federal Inspection Services (customs, immigration and agriculture) concessions from the US Government. Portland and Bangor regularly handle international corporate (private) flights, as does Houlton on an on-demand basis for light general aviation.

Major Cleanup

I just completed a major cleanup of the page. Mostly I just moved things around, as well as adding a few bits of information here and there. Let me know what you think. --KPWM_Spotter 03:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Note

It should be noted somewhere on the page that the airport on the list as shuttle landing spots. (Yes it's wayyy down the list)

No, actually, it isn't: we chased this down previously.--SarekOfVulcan 18:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Or is it? I'm seeing it on the approved list for an "East Coast Abort Landing" site, but not on an official government site, as far as I can tell.--SarekOfVulcan 18:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Passing over Bangor would require a very high-inclination orbit; I suppose it's possible that a polar-orbiting launch from the Cape would reasonably abort to Bangor but any shuttle polar orbiting missions were to launch from Vandenberg (none ever occured). See NASA shuttle page; NASA shuttle launch page. There is no provision (that I can see) for an abort to an East coast site other than the Cape; the options are RTLS or TAL. See shuttle reference. I suppose it's possible that it would be a potential location for a contingency abort, but so would probably every airport. --Jnik 18:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

See Space Shuttle abort modes#Contingency aborts -- there's a list of possible airports there, but no indication of where the list came from.--SarekOfVulcan 16:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

It came from somebody's master's thesis as a list of possible landing sites. I see no evidence that it is a list of "designated sites" or represents NASA operating procedure. Taking it to that page. --Jnik 15:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Updated info

An article in the Wall Street Jornal, including interviews w/ airport personnel, has quite a bit of detail on BGR's emergency/diversion functions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/news/case-emergency-fly-one-tiny-040100273.html Irish Melkite (talk) 09:38, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:18, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Pop culture

Wikipedia states in the article about the Langoliers a little more detail: "The movie version of The Langoliers, produced for broadcast on ABC-TV, was filmed almost exclusively in and around the Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine (where author Stephen King attended college) during the summer of 1994".134.247.251.245 (talk) 12:48, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
