Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Old Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, China:

Good thing that old airport closed. It was too small, difficult approach, and short runway. It couldn't be expanded because of building surrounding the airport. So it was replaced by the new airport in 2004 and is following a similar fate as Kai Tak Airport, to be redeveloped into something else. And have any pictures of the passenger terminal and facilities?

The word "Baiyun" means "white cloud", which is an inauspicious name for an airport. However, it makes a good name for a cockatiel: http://gallery.xcski.com/v/paulart/photo_contest/baiyun.jpg.html
