If you have seen the film Airport then this book is what was used to create that film, in the Book Lincoln International Airport has issues a trapped plane on the main runway and with it heavily snowning the Airport Manager Mel Bakersfield has a miriad of problems to solve.
Trying to get the runway emptied, has to deal with local protesters complaining about noise going over their houses. And a stowaway and someone hell bent on taking his own life by taking a bomb on a overseas plane and to have it explode so his wife can get the insurance money.
I would of loved a better ending with some things just hinted at and not know for sure but the main problems were resolved.
