Template:Airport frame Template:Airport title Template:Airport infobox Template:Runway title Template:Runway
Carriel Sur International Airport (IATA: CCP, ICAO: SCIE) is located in the vicinity of Concepción, approximately 500 kms southwest of Santiago. Serves mainly domestic traffic for LAN Airlines, LANExpress and Sky Airline, although due to close proximity to Arturo Merino Benitez it serves as a primary alternate airport for it, usually receiving international traffic from Santiago as the airport closes due to weather.
History
Although plans of building an airport near Concepción date back to 1954, construction began only in 1960, shortly after the May 22nd earthquake, as it became imperative to count with a modern airport to link Chile's south-central region with the rest of the country. The airport was finally opened to the public on January 3rd 1968. No airline accidents have been recorded in relation with the airport, although bird ingestions during takeoff have ocurred causing rejected takeoffs or emergency returns from departing aircraft. No casualties derived from such bird ingestions have been recorded.
Airlines
Carriel Sur is not a hub for any airline. Domestic airlines' hubs are located on Arturo Merino Benitez. Nevertheless, the airport hosts General Aviation traffic from various clubs and flight schools located on the northern sector of the airport. Although no regularly scheduled international traffic is handled at Carriel Sur, there's permanent customs and immigration services available for charters, private flights and those diverted from Santiago.
Terminal Building
In 2000, the original terminal building was decomissioned and turned over to the aviation authority for administrative use. A new terminal, operated by AEROSUR S.A., was opened north of the latter allowing the instalation of jetways(4), Customs and Immigration service, a VIP lounge and a duty free store. The old ramp was not decomissioned, thus the amount of parking spaces increased from 5 to 10 (the original 5 plus 4 jetways and one remote parking adjacent to jetway 4)
Navaids, ATC services
Despite being the second most important airport in Chile, Carriel Sur does not count with radar service for approach/departure control. This service is provided using Non-Radar protocols, in coordination with Santiago's Area Control Center. Carriel Sur's control tower provides Ground, Tower and Approach services on a 24-hour basis and is staffed by three air traffic controllers at all times. The airport has several navigation aids:
- Category I ILS, runway 02. Localizer frequency 109.90 MHz, designator I-CEP
- High-Altitude Doppler VOR with DME equipment, for non-precision approaches to both runways. Frequency 114.30 Mhz, designator CAR.
- Non-directional beacon/Localizer Outer Marker, located 5 nautic miles south of runway 02's thereshold.
- Marker beacon/Localizer middle marker, located one-half mile south of runway 02's thereshold.

Minja
A Minja is like a ninja, only in a small and compact size. One would think that a Minja would be an adversary that could be dispatched of quite quickly. This thinking is quite false, seeing as Minjas have a distinct advantage over the traditional Ninja. For one, Minjas can sneak about far more easily due to their small size and can infiltrate buildings via the smallest of openings. They also are prominent in fighting with various adversaries since they are such small targets and can move about their opponents legs, confused their adversaries quite terribly. Minjas have the devastating ability to throw ninja stars, jump upon them, and ride them into their target's neck while simultaneously punching them in the neck.
If one should see a Minja approaching them, one should not bother running for their time is almost up. The best thing to do is to curl up into a ball and hope that only ur farthest extremities are damaged and that the death is relatively quick and painless if they do in fact plan on prematurely ending the life of the target. If one should somehow manage to defeat a Minja in hand to hand combat, his or her victory will only be short lives for Minjas tend to assail their victims in packs. Minjas have been deemed so obviously due to the previously existence of the terms "ninja" and "midget." The word "minja" was chosen because "niget" and "migna" are far too ridiculous and difficult to pronounce.

Distorted Penguins
Originally went by the name of Feedback (not the same band as the original U2). They are a ska band that started out in Keyser, WV. Slowly they expanded their following out to Maryland.
In the summer of '97 they started working on their first album using a Fostex digital 8-track recorder. Afterwards they went to a nearby studio to have the tracks mixed professionally.
In September of ’97 Feedback changed their name to Distorted Penguins due to the fact that they shared the name with too many other bands including at one time U2. They chose their new name because they thought it was a little bit more original.They also you made a do it yourself label called Distorted Penguins Records so they could put out their demos.
After the release of “Ain’t Got None Monies” in December of 1997, the Distorted Penguins grew as a talented, innovative band, and expanded their fan base into Morgantown, WV, home of the West Virginia Mountaineers. They performed for the University and the WWVU (U92) radio shows, ‘DP’ gained a strong following of high school and college fans.
DP performed throughout the region over the next few years doing shows in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, trying to get their name out. After breaking into the city of Pittsburgh, PA, DP met and befriended a band called the Buzz Poets. The Poets helped DP tremendously by giving them opening spots at many shows, and by making several guest appearances on their new album.
DP started work on "What Would Your Mother Say" in August of 1999. The studio of choice was Soundscape Studios in McKeesport, PA with engineer Billy Rossi and producer Buddy Hall. The recording of the album was a long process since the majority of the band was starting college and had to drive a few hours each way to get to the studio.
Many months went by and on April 24, 2000 the final vocal tracks were recorded. This completed the recording process for the album. Then, just two days later the heart and soul and lead singer/songwriter of the Distorted Penguins, Magic Dave Mussen, had his life tragically taken from him. The following weeks and months were tough for everyone that had ever come in contact with Dave, especially the band. The future of DP was in jeopardy and no one was sure what should be done. In time however a unanimous decision was made to keep the band together and keep Dave’s music alive.
After a line-up switch and the addition of a few new members the Distorted Penguins were ready to venture back out into the world. It took some time to get used to the tremendous change, but their main goal was to complete their album for Magic Dave. Finances were scarce, so the mixing, mastering, artwork, and duplication process took many months. The 2001 “Pittsburgh X-Files” CD released by 105.9 ‘the X’ was dedicated to Magic Dave and had DP’s song ‘Cloud Nine’ and Buzz Poets’ song ‘Angel Eyes (Song for Dave)’ on it. That helped both bands get the message out about how much Dave meant to everyone.
After releasing their album ‘Magic’ in February of 2001, DP traveled throughout the Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia regions playing anywhere they possibly could. Performing at colleges, bars, clubs, parties, and benefits, a spot on the Vans Warped tour in Pittsburgh, and opening for national acts such as Reel Big Fish, 2 Skinnee J’s, and Blues Traveler helped elevate the Distorted Penguins and establish them as an exceptional rock band.
In May of 2001, DP started recording a five-track EP in order to get out some of their new material. This also took many months due to lack of money. ‘What Would Your Mother Say?’ was released on April 12, 2002 and the band received incredible acclaim for their work. Since then they have extended their reach throughout Ohio, into Eastern Maryland, New Jersey, and parts of the North Eastern United States.
Through radio airplay on multiple national and college radio stations, a featured song on the Pittsburgh X-Files 2001 Compilation CD, and singles included on several episodes of MTV’s ‘Undressed’, DP is earning national and international recognition in the D.I.Y. fashion. Fans throughout the United States, Canada, England, France, Russia, Germany, and Australia have proven their love with over 385,000 downloads on mp3.com. DP has contributed their songs to independent movies and video games, as well as special CD compilations to help raise money for the American Red Cross, the Children’s Hospital of Boston, teen suicide prevention, domestic violence, and charities that help battered women and children.
In the summer of 2003 the Distorted Penguins did a national tour across the United States hitting 19 states and traveling 8,000+ miles. The tour was set up by the band in order to meet fans who emailed them wanting to see DP in their town. By doing this DP made thousands of new fans, as well as meeting those who have been fans for years. This fall/winter they hope to start the initial phases of recording demos for their new album, which has the potential to be the best album of the millennium. Keep your eyes and ears open and rock out to the sweet, sweet sounds.
