Washington Dulles International Airport (IATA: IAD, ICAO: KIAD, FAA LID: IAD) is a public airport located 20 miles (32 km) west of the central business district of Washington, D.C., in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States. It serves the greater Washington, D.C./metropolitan area. The airport is named after John Foster Dulles, United States Secretary of State under Dwight D. Eisenhower. It is a major hub for United Airlines and a focus city for JetBlue Airways. It is the main base for Northwest Airlink's regional airline Compass Airlines.

On a typical day, 1,800 to 2,000 flights are now handled at Dulles, up from 1000 to 1200 in 2003. It remains the second busiest trans-Atlantic gateway on the Eastern Seaboard. Recently with the demise of Independence Air, JetBlue has slowly expanded its focus city operation at Dulles with six daily non-stops to Boston and New York. It also serves non-stops to Long Beach, Oakland, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vegas, West Palm Beach, Orlando, and San Diego making JetBlue the second largest carrier at Dulles in terms of non-stop destinations. The inception of low-cost carrier Independence Air in 2004 propelled IAD from being the 24th busiest airport in the United States to 5th, and one of the top 10 busiest in the world. At its peak of 600 flights daily, Independence, combined with service from JetBlue and AirTran, briefly made Dulles the largest low-cost hub in the United States. Southwest Airlines began service in fall 2006 after Independence Air's demise.

Wellington International Airport (IATA: WLG, ICAO: NZWN) is on the Rongotai isthmus, 7 km southeast of central Wellington, New Zealand's capital city.

It is a major domestic hub, and has links to the major cities of Australia. In 2005 it served 4.6 million passengers.

The airport occupies 110 hectares , a small area for the number of passengers it handles.

The current site opened in 1959, Wellington's airport previously being to the north, at Paraparaumu Airport on the Kapiti Coast. The original length of the runway was 1630 m (5350 ft), and was extended to its current length of 1936 m in the early 1970s, to handle DC8s.

Wellington Airport's original domestic terminal was built as a temporary measure inside a corrugated iron hangar, originally used to assemble de Havilland aircraft, and was not replaced for many decades. It was known for being overcrowded, leaky and draughty. An upgrade of the domestic terminal, budgeted at NZ$10 million, was announced in 1981, but by 1983 the plans were shelved after cost projections more than doubled. The terminal was extensively refurbished in 1986 by Air New Zealand, and Ansett New Zealand built a new terminal as an extension to the international terminal when it commenced competing domestic air services in 1986.

Mayo Clinic is an internationally renowned medical practice based in Rochester, Minnesota, USA. The first and largest facilities of Mayo Clinic are also located in Rochester, but it also runs additional hospitals and physician practices in Jacksonville, Florida, and Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition, Mayo Clinic operates a number of smaller clinics and hospitals in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, known as the "Mayo Health System". Mayo Clinic is consistently ranked second, behind Johns Hopkins, among the best hospitals in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report; in 2006.

The term "clinic" in the Mayo Clinic's name normally implies a single small outpatient facility.

It is also a medical research organization of nationwide scope and global reputation.

Rotterdam Airport (formerly (Dutch): Vliegveld Zestienhoven (translated: Airport Sixteencourts) (IATA: RTM, ICAO: EHRD) located in Rotterdam, is The Netherlands' second largest regional airport after Eindhoven Airport if you louk to passengers. From the airport, there are daily services to London, Hamburg, and Berlin and charter flights. The airport handled over a million passengers in 2004.

After World War II it was decided by the Dutch government that a second national airport next to Schiphol was needed. The city of Rotterdam had an airport before the war, Waalhaven airport, however, this was destroyed to prevent it from being used by the Germans. Reconstruction of this airport wasn't realistic, so a new location had to be found.

A new location was found, the Zestienhoven polder. Construction of the airport started in August 1955 and the airport was officially opened in October 1956. Not long after the opening several large international airlines such as Swissair, Lufthansa and Air France started operating to and from Rotterdam. However, in the 1970's plans were made to either close or move to airport to make room for houses and the uncertain future caused a stagnation in the airport's growth and the large international airlines left. For almost thirty years the airport faced closure, but the economic growth in the 1990's caused an increase in passengers again and in 2001 it was decided that the airport's current location would be maintained for at least 100 years.

Leeds Bradford International Airport (IATA: LBA, ICAO: EGNM) is located between the cities of Leeds and Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. The airport was in public ownership until May 2007, when it was sold for £145.5 million.

Leeds Bradford has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P800) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction.

Leeds and Bradford councils jointly bought a site at Yeadon in 1930, and opened it as Yeadon Aerodrome in 1931, for club flights and training. Scheduled flights began four years later in 1935. The first flights were to Newcastle, Edinburgh, Blackpool and the Isle of Man.

In 1936, 609 (West Riding) Auxiliary Squadron of the RAF formed at Yeadon. Seasonal flights between Yeadon and Isle of Man and Liverpool also started this year. Work began on a terminal building in that year, but progress was halted after only one wing had been built.

The Temple of Saint Sava (Serbian: Храм Светог Саве or Hram Svetog Save) in Belgrade, Serbia is the largest Orthodox church currently in use. The church is dedicated to Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. It is built on the Vračar plateau, on the location where his remains are thought to have been burned in 1595 by the Ottoman Empire's Sinan Pasha. From its location, it dominates Belgrade's cityscape, and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city. The building of the church structure is being financed exclusively by donations. The parish home is nearby, as will be the planned patriarchal building.

It finishes Belgrade's line Kalemegdan - Trg Republike - Terazije - Beograđanka - Slavija - Temple of Saint Sava. The dome is 70m high, while the main gold plated cross is another 12 m high, witch is giving a total of 82 m to the Temple of Saint Sava. The peak is 134 m (439.6 ft) above the sea level (64 m [210 ft] above the Sava river); therefore the church holds a dominant position in Belgrade's cityscape and is visible from all approaches to the city.
