Nobody that I know in the aviation world uses this word when describing the ramp. Only know nothing reporters use this silly tarmac word. I have to wonder how long you've been associated with things aviation? I've spent some 26 years working directly on airports with aircraft almost all over the world and I've heard the term 'tarmac' used at least as much as 'ramp' if not more...I ended my direct association some 30 years ago too so tarmac has been around for some time I'd say. So there you go, *I* prefer tarmac to ramp myself... -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) Here in Oz it's unusual to hear ramp used, Tarmac is the common term used. Ric Sure , not surprising...pretty common word around airports... -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) |
