I keep seeing profiles listing "Bradley International" and having lived in LA most of my life I have no clue where it is. I have seen three or four profiles of women listing Bradley International as their city. Don't they know that Bradley International is the Bradley International Terminal at LAX?



Does my nose smell a scammer or two tossing out lines for us to bite down on? Scammer Sense tingling!

Now I seen one profile that the girl lists Ft. MacArthur and that is in San Pedro. It is also the neighborhood near the park on the top of the hill in San Pedro called "Angel Gate Park," home of the Korean Friendship Bell.



Nice view and a great place to fly kites!

Where the hell is Bradley International?spock



Bradley International Airport (IATA: BDL, ICAO: KBDL, FAA LID: BDL) is a public airport located in Windsor Locks on the border with East Granby, in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is owned by the State of Connecticut.[1]

The airport is situated in the towns of Windsor Locks, Suffield and East Granby, about halfway between Hartford and Springfield. It is Connecticut's busiest commercial airport, with 350 daily operations, and the second-busiest airport in New England after Boston's Logan International Airport [2]. Delta Air Lines (along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Northwest Airlines) is currently the largest carrier at Bradley International Airport with 41 daily flights, and 57 daily when all seasonal flights are in season.[3] Also Delta Air Lines (along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Northwest Airlines) carry over 1 million passengers a year.[4]

The airport is home to the New England Air Museum.
Bradley has its origins in the 1940 acquisition of 1,700 acres (690 ha) of land in Windsor Locks by the State of Connecticut. In 1941, this land was turned over to the U. S. Army, as the country began its preparations for the impending war. [5]

Less than a year after the Army assumed control, the field at Windsor Locks had its first fatality. Among those assigned to duty in Windsor Locks was the young Lt. Eugene M. Bradley of Antlers, Oklahoma. While participating in a training drill, Lt. Bradley's P-40 crashed on August 21, 1941. Following a funeral at Talarski Funeral Home in Hartford, Lt. Bradley's remains were interred in the national cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.

After a groundswell of sentiment in favor of naming the airfield in Windsor Locks in honor of the airman, the airfield was renamed Army Air Base, Bradley Field, Connecticut on January 20, 1942.

Following the end of World War II in 1945, the airfield was returned to the State of Connecticut in 1946.

In 1947, when the airport returned to civilian use, the airfield in Windsor Locks became known as Bradley International Airport. Also the arrival of Eastern Air Lines Flight 624 came that same year, which was the first civilian flight at the airport. International shipping operations at the airport began during the same year. It eventually came to replace the older, smaller Hartford-Brainard Airport as Hartford's primary airport.[6]

In 1948, the federal government deeded the Airport to the State of Connecticut for public and commercial use.[7]

In 1950, Bradley International Airport exceeds the 100,000-passenger mark, handling 108,348 annual passengers.[8]

In 1960, Bradley passed the 500,000 mark, handling 500,238 passengers.[9]


A photo of the newest terminal at Bradley.In 1971, the International Arrivals building opened, followed by the installation of instrument landing systems on two of the runways in 1977.

In 1979, a tornado ripped through Windsor Locks, wreaking destruction along the eastern portions of the airport. The New England Air Museum sustained some of the worst damage. It reopened in 1982.

1986: New Terminal A and Bradley Sheraton Hotel completed. Roncari cargo terminal constructed [10]

In 2001 construction commenced on a new parking garage. When it was completed, it initially could not be used; the intervening attacks of 9/11 had led to a regulation that would have required it to be set back further from the airport. For some time it was open but every vehicle had to be individually inspected, which severely reduced its value. Bradley eventually received a waiver for it from the Department of Homeland Security.

2001 also saw the commencement of the Terminal Improvement Project- an ambitious project to add a new terminal and gates to the airport and centralize passenger screening. The new terminal built by The Tomasso Group opened in 2003. The terminal improvement was part of a larger project to enhance the reputation of the City of Hartford as a destination for business and vacation travel.


Aerial view of Bradley International AirportOn October 2–3, 2007, the Airbus A380 visited Bradley as part of its world tour, stopping in Hartford to showcase the aircraft to Connecticut workers for Pratt and Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand, both divisions of United Technologies, who helped build the GP7000 TurboFan engines which is an option to power the aircraft. Bradley Airport is one of only 68 airports worldwide large enough to accomodate the A380.

On October 18, 2007, Bradley International Airport was named as one of the top five small airports in the North American Airport Satisfaction Study by J.D. Powers.

On October 7, 2008, Embraer, an aerospace company based in Brazil, selected Bradley as its future Northeast service center in the United States. An $11 million project is in place with support from teams of the Connecticut Department of Transportation and Connecticut's Economic and Community Development. Embraer will build and operate a full maintenance and repair facility for its line of business jets, employing up to 60 highly skilled aircraft technicians over the next 5 years. The opening ceremony for the new facility was October 7, 2008[11].

On July 16, 2009, Bradley International Airport Celebrated the Grand Opening of the Black Bear Saloon,a new full-service restaurant in Terminal A just past security.[12].

There are two places to be in Los Angeles for the 4th of July. One of them is Griffith Park at the Observatory, the other is Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro. You get to see the WHOLE city light up with Fireworks and there is nothing like the experience short of riding in a blimp. Miles and miles of fireworks!

Now if I can only find someone who can appreciate such an experience with me.


hey ladies....drinker !! Hint Hint!
