That totally makes me want to fly there...just because.
Agree. Want to fly in
I have been on the ground side of this. Barriers come down and lots of security activity, and then an aircraft takes off or lands3 or 4 scheduled flights a day I think.
The airport in Gisborne (NZGS /GIS) NZ (North Island) has railroad tracks crossing the runway!

There are many places in the woeld without the wide open spaces we have here. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Agree. Hope you are doing well
Tks for the kind words. I'm getting there. Just slow. I guess I'm impatient. I was always pretty active and now having to slow way down. LOL. They tell me a 65 year old man heals much slower, regardless of how much he may want too. LOL But I'll get there.
