Nicosia International Airport
Nicosia International Airport (Greek: Διεθνές Αεροδρόμιο Λευκωσίας, Turkish: Lefkoşa Uluslararası Havaalanı) is a largely disused airport located 8.2 km (5.1 mi) west of the Cypriot capital city of Nicosia in the Lakatamia suburb. It was originally the main airport for the island, but commercial activity ceased following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The airport site is now mainly used as the headquarters of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus.
History
Nicosia was the principal airport for Cyprus from its initial construction in the 1930s as the Royal Air Force station RAF Nicosia until 1974. At first it acted principally as a military airport, and it is still owned by the British Ministry of Defence
The landing strip was constructed in 1939 by the Shell Company and Pierides & Michaelides Ltd. Services were provided by Misrair with four-engined DH.86 aircraft.
During the Second World War the airport's facilities and runway were extended by local contractors Stelios Joannou and George Paraskevaides. American bombers used the runway in 1943–44 when returning from the allied bombings of the Romanian Ploieşti oil fields.

For Money Or Love
by: Like YoungYour cheap plans have left me stranded here.
There's nothing I can do, I look at deathly grins.
All eyes swell when they see me punch the door.
Aloof and I'm beaten, all the calls are moot.
I'll take the call. I'm helpless, but I will;
because I hate your money.
My skin is crawling.
I see breath which makes me damn the day.
The fall for a lazy lie promised to me.
When you wake, do you see the pain you've caused?
Aware and forbidden, this was all for love.
I'll take the call, I'm helpless but I will;
Cause I hate your money, hate your money.
My skin's crawling
It'll keep crawling.
My skin's crawling
It'll keep crawling.
huuuuuuwoah
Mark both of my lips, mark both of my lips
You will be fired
Mark both of my lips, mark both of my lips
