PPRuNe Forums Thread Wiki: Which Aerodrome Mk III
Please read: This is a community-maintained wiki post containing the most important information from this thread. You may edit the Wiki once you have been a member for 90 days and have made 90 posts.
 
Last edit by: nvubu
Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).

Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
  • A historic picture of an aerodrome will be posted. Newer pictures are allowed but the theme here is to compare/contrast old with new as well as identifying aerodromes which no longer exist.
  • The person who correctly identifies it will be declared the 'winner' by the original poster.
  • That winner shall either post another challenge or declare the floor open. Anyone may then post the next challenge.
  • If the winner of the challenge does not respond to the notification of their success within 48 hours, an Open house can be declared when there is consensus between multiple other posters which are on line.
  • When the poster of a challenge does not respond within 48 hours of a posted answer, this poster can be declared winner if the answer is considered correct in a consensus of multiple other posters.
  • If Open House is declared, regular posters should not jump in immediately, but time should be given for those who are not great at naming the correct location as they may have some good images.
  • There will only be one challenge running at a time.
  • Try to use elderly photos and not Google Earth, Zoom Earth or any other search engine, pics
  • Try to post images that are not already present on internet, as Google Image Search will find them if they are.
  • Personal photos are acceptable as they show the aerodrome as it is now.
  • When confirming the correct location, the location and winner should be stated to negate any deletion of posts.
  • Please don't delete your posts, let everyone see your successes, failures and challenges.
Anyone can edit it so long as they have been here for 90 days with 90 posts. Let's get consensus before changing and not go crazy Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Dora 9,

Yes, a lovely aircraft. A little bit cramped but not too uncomfortable, even after three hour legs. I must confess, as we were chugging westwards into the wind, on the way home over the unending landscapes of North Dakota and Montana, to wishing I was in something 100 kts faster!

It is the "twitchiest" tail dragger I have ever flown. You have to be lightning-fast on the rudder pedals during the takeoff and landing rolls.

I42, sounds like the MLG tracking is out then. Needs toe-in, not toe-out

Kewbick,

I am unable to contact you because you have not enabled PMs or emails.

The "rules" of this game are that if you correctly identify the challenge, you should either post a new challenge or declare Open House.

PS FOR SOME REASON YOUR POST HADNT SHOWN UP. I CAN SEE IT NOW.

That's an early Antonov ?AN-25? - mid - 1930's - but I don't think that the airfield is in the USSR from the vast number of cars in the background................ and the trees suggest W Europe or N America?? Sounds unlikely

ronnieblinn: your private messaging still isn't enabled. If you can send me a message when it is, I'll reply when I receive it.

Primary wind direction from the north?

There's a lot of rubber at the south end of the runway.

Primary wind direction is from THE SOUTH - but then you need to see the view the other way........................ not one I'd care to overshoot the threshold by very much.....................

Perhaps the rubber is from heavy braking before they fell off the end?

The ship looks like an Aircraft carrier, but I'm sure it's not. My first thought is Caribbean.

Nope, it's not Horta. I've done all of the Azores and it's not ringing any bells. However, the vegetation etc is very similar.
