I recall seeing Concorde take off and land at the Teesside Airshow back in 1986 as well as a myriad of other fighter planes. Even Air Force One graced the runway at one point. Even in the early 90s, chances are if you were going on holiday, you'd be flying from here if you were local. Fast forward to 2014 and I was business travelling to the Netherlands and thought I fancied flying from Teesside once more. I kinda wish I hadn't. It was an abysmal experience. Pretty sad to witness the decline of this once-great local airport.
