Spanish 'ghost airport' up for auction
Up for auction: $1.5 billion Spanish airport, little used. Starting price? $150 million. If that sounds improbable, you haven't been keeping up with the fallout from Spain's burst property bubble. The fire sale of the country's first private international airport, costing a reported $1.5 billion to build, has become a powerful symbol of the economic downtown triggered by that implosion.

Ok guys, let's all chip in here. Three words: airport theme park! Roller coasters, shows, tons of aircraft displays etc. Runway is a drag strip for racing. Break out your check books folks!
Nah, how bout the worlds biggest Hooters instead???
We can have both...lol
It would be a great spot to start a resort though; a get away for the rich and powerful...the right developer could build a golf course, casino and a lavish hotel.
JH has the right idea; I'm especially pumped someone else thought about a drag strip!
I don't mean to burst your bubble or anything, but is that honestly the best use you can think of?
Yeah, my preference is to eat some buffalo shrimp and check the scenery out, instead of watching airplanes...
ok....well just let it sit there like KTNT
U live by TNT???
nah by EHO....just track flights going in and out there...I am sure there are more but the last time I looked at the overview section there was nothing there.
There really aren't many uses for closed airports except being a closed airport...you either tear up the runway, make it a drag strip or in Stapleton's case; make it a housing development.
