      Nope. Don't forget the fish !!

      ...and you are the wrong side of "the pond".

      ...and think about how you can travel over a short bridge and yet find that it was an hour ago when you were at the other side ?
      If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

            • Not very far from the site of a famous bridge. The bridge wasn't quite what the new owners thought they were getting !

                • An American bought a bridge and had it shipped to the US brick by brick. It wasn't the bridge he thought he was buying though....and he didn't use every brick during reassembly either.

                  That should give some food for Google !!

                  Oh yes....and the bridge was famous in its country of origin.

                  ...and a pic of the fish I refer to. Also known by a part of the anatomy of a person who grinds grain !!

                  • Lake Havasu City Airport
                    or
                    Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport

                    EDIT- I'm sticking with Laughlin/Bullhead Int'l, as I see there are small fishes named bullhead

                      I'll go for Lake Havasu then, due to the bridge anecdote. For those that don't know this place bought the old London Bridge thinking they had bought Tower Bridge.

                      • Laughlin Bullhead City it is. To explain the clues.....

                        The Bullhead or Millers Thumb (the anatomical part of the person who grinds grain) is the fish.

                        The bridge has already been explained. Remember that I said that the airport was near here, not at this place.

                        The one hour refers to Laughlin, on the Nevada side of the Colorado river being on the other side of the bridge to Bullhead City which is in Arizona.....which is a one hour timezone ahead of Nevada.

                        Your go again Ampo.

                        • Allright, no more numerical clues for me...

                          This airport is not in the Americas (N,S), nor in Oceania.

                          An Asian airline has a massive presence here, and is continuing to expand.

                          It is served by two airlines, for the 3rd one is only a division of the 1st one.

                          EDIT-I'll accept any of the 2 possible answers

                          • new clue...

                            Runway's length is a ton more than the number in a defunct airline from the Americas' name.

                            • And the airline mentioned above is based in North America.

                              • And its not in Continental US, so not in the Lower 48
