Lancair70 30th Jul 2011, 07:32 Rules comment was just that, too broad to be a guess.
Not Greenland
Not Vietnam.
And we need the ICAO code for the airport the flight landed at. Not the country.
StressFree 30th Jul 2011, 08:07 Right base for Phuket, Thailand.
Air Asia B737-300.
:ok:
StressFree 30th Jul 2011, 08:07 Sorry, forget the ICAO, its VTSP.
Sirikit 30th Jul 2011, 08:29 I would say you would be correct.

Rule3 30th Jul 2011, 19:57 Singa et al....... If you are unaware of the general rules concerning posting pictures:
1. You have to correctly answer the current Challenge or
2. You can post if someone declares OH or Open House.
Otherwise it will be total confusion. I hope this helps.:ok:

RegDep 30th Jul 2011, 20:11 Rule 3, I think #4514 and #4515 are the legitimate ones, the Legoland was a tidbit and has already been disposed off. If you want to beat Sirikit, you better put your burner on :ok:.

Some photo hosting services (e.g., PhotoMuckIt) have a daily band width limit for people looking at your pictures.
If too many people try to see a photo too often in a day, it disappears until the next day.
It reduces the demand on their servers.:\

visibility3miles 31st Jul 2011, 03:19 Re: train -- it's water under the bridge.
Bridge Washout in Topeka KS. May 2007 (http://www.arizonarails.com/washout.html)
A bridge inundated by floodwaters collapsed under the weight of an empty Union Pacific coal train near the Grant Avenue gate on the U.S. Army's Fort Riley base on May 6. Military traffic was being rerouted around the base's western gates as the railroad cleaned up the wreck. Fort Riley is west of Topeka, Kan. The bridge collapsed as the lead two diesels rolled over the bridge, with the rear end of the lead unit falling onto the second locomotive, which was nearly cut in half by the weight of the locomotive and ended up partially in the water. The engineer and conductor were both taken to Geary County Community Hospital with minor injuries, Topeka's ABC News 49 reported.

You might be surprised but the ol' good Hemingway was quite a hoot. I really suggest to anyone to read up on his quirky ways.

finfly1 3rd Aug 2011, 20:22 Both correct. Sabredog first. When one was young, they used to hold square dances in that bandshell. My HS band perpetrated a concert there as well. I am told that the iconic tower may not last much longer.

finfly1 3rd Aug 2011, 23:30 Wrong and right. But not too far off either.
The flags of Florida and Alabama can be confused for each other when furled like this, and I was gonna go for "Bama" at first but I suggest that it is Fort Marion which really gives it to seacue if so because he said St Augustine.
finfly1 4th Aug 2011, 00:11 Not Ft Marion, but I gotta give ya 'Bama.

Still being an ignorant European: Wouldn't Puerto Rican flag have three red stripes, rather than two? If so, which flag is the fourth from left?
Hold it, of course it has three, this is just so "cleverly" folded.
Won't post anything now, but let finfly1's challenge to be solved, to avoid cluttering the thread with multiples.

Sirikit 4th Aug 2011, 16:22 Reg, I got there first.:p My doors are all in Medina.:p
RegDep 4th Aug 2011, 16:39 Which Medina?
Medina (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medina_(disambiguation))
Sirikit 4th Aug 2011, 16:42 Your Medina.:O
Do you think it's fake like in a theme park? Airport??
Sirikit....... I think not.I think they are all entrance doors in Medinas in Tunis. There are Medinas in most Tunisian Cities, I stand to be corrected but I think A Medina is a walled city within a city.
Your 2 doors are in Tunis.:ok:
finfly1 4th Aug 2011, 16:59 Well, one or all of you are right. It was a museum in Carthage, Tunisia, a short distance from where the cruise ship docked.
So open house. I'll post a shot taken from the same place looking toward the Med later today for context, not contest.

You got the the blue door from Sidi Bou Said, which is closer to Carthage than Tunis Medina (in Tunisia, or was it the other way round, Tunisia in Tunis).
Ask me, have been in all of them
So I withdraw, and bow to your M'sty.
So please post the next challenge (no OH, please :E:E).

seacue 4th Aug 2011, 21:18 In #4706, the identification as the White House, DC, was accepted, even though the image was stated to be the Women's Military Service Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. They are two miles apart and in different states. They are as far apart as Mrs Queen's abode (Buckingham Pal) and St Paul's Cath.
I know it's water under the dam, but not close enough IMO.
