August 11th - Is this the only defunct control tower tour in the world?

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

Denver Stapleton Airport – then the fifth-busiest in the world – closed down in 1995. The last flight out was Continental 34 to London Gatwick. You would never know an airport was here – everything has been demolished, except for the control tower, which has somehow survived. Sean Henson started running Tower Tours this year, and I joined him last Friday.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.
