I know Birmingham Airport has been that for many years but to me it will always be Elmdon - Planes landing approach over Brownhills - Streetly - Sutton Park and Erdington, specfically The Lyndhurst Estate, from the 60s the flashing beacon of Elmdon could be seen from the window of a 6th floor flat, as nearby trees grew you needed to go higher.
You could almost see the colour of the pilot's eyes if his plane flew really low over my parents tower block flat and you were using the roof-top laundry drying area, at night it was like Close Encounters of th Third Kind.
