Created a general thread on Indianapolis International Airport (IND)!

President Obama in IND 02/06/2015 - expect ground stop between 100p - 200p and 500p - 600p.

Forgot to post about the Personal Airport Consultant i.e. robot:

October 11, 2014: Robot makes big bang at Indy Airport

The robot costs $2,500, plus the price of the head, er ... iPad. It is made by
Double Robotics

Interesting to see revenue from IND airport restaurants:

I love finding 747s around IND and we have seen an increased amount of flights coming in in the past weeks---at least 4-5 cargo charger flights from NRT. A few came non-stop. Today, there was another one but stopped at ANC then flew here. Does anyone know who has 4-5 747s worth of stuff to fly transpacific? Today's flight was this: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/C...115Z/PANC/KIND

The crazy thing for IND is the FedEx hub (isn't IND the second largest FedEx hub?) - so around 500a - 530a you suddenly have massive numbers of FedEx planes (some big ones!) leaving IND.

Also due to Camp Atterbury/Muscatatuck Urban Training Center sometimes out of IND you will be the charters heading to Kuwait, etc. after training.
