I faintly remember something about an airport, in America I think, which because of some powercut, the closure of another airport or some other problem had a huge back up of flights to land and they were landing them one after the other and the waiting planes were circling around the airport.

I remember it being quite a task and I remember some great pictures that were shown on telly, I tried finding out when and where was it to see if I can find pictures, but I can't seem to, I think it was in the mid to late 80s.

NG after a name.

Sounds like the plot to Die Hard 2.

Maybe JFK in New York?

can't imagine the reason for your question cuddlycat.

it's a bit vague "in America I think". All airports are busy from time to time. However if you were on the 'plane and can remember where you were coming from and going to, have a look at the map. (?) Good luck.

Why are people on this website now more bothered about being "funny" than giving a proper answer? If you don't know why not just leave for someone else to answer?

Time wasters.
