Just saw a typo: "Locally known as DIA but internationally as DEN <http://www.flydenver.com/>, Denver Invernational Airport<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_International_Airport>is both the largest airport in the USA and has the longest runway! This means:"
This should be Dever International Airport, not Denver Invernational Airport. I can't seem to be able to change it myself...
