    Okay fine, you win.

    How about we just build a massive high-speed rail transfer station at Gander, so the transatlantic flights from Europe can land in North America and passengers can take the train to their final destinations

        Somewhere in Canada, it's where they redirected all the flights after 9/11. IIRC it's a pretty small town and they were incapable of handling that much international traffic.

        Tl;dr it’s an airport in Newfoundland with a big runway that handled a lot of refueling stops for transatlantic flights until the 80’s
