Stapleton really had to go. Too much city all around. But the new airport site was about as inconvenient as possible for the metro area and, as predicted, gets bogged by snowstorms so far out on the prairie. Would you believe, it could have been some sweetheart land deal.
I flew twice a week for 20 years out of DIA. There's nothing wrong with the airport or the location. The only time I ever recall snow being an issue was the Blizzard of 97. Other than that, it was never a problem.
Roger that. I flew into the old airport (Stapleton) once. Then DIA opened in 95.
