Saro: Apart from Masafi there are still quite a few landing strips to be seen around the Sharjah area, including the one up on the Saiq plateau in Oman at 2000m. We might rename it "Brakedwell International". We walked to it in 2008. There is also one at Sumaini (now also in Oman), and one with two runways arranged in a T (visible on Google Earth at 23 01N, 55E) (we were visiting the confluence at 23N, 55E when we explored it). I have photos of all these, any of which could be used tomorrow (except maybe Saiq), they are so well preserved. At Sumaini the name SUMAINI in white can also still be seen on GE at 24 39 08N, 55 53 46E.
Some of this was discussed in the old threads
