Which Aerodrome Mk II

[grizzled]

OKay, time for another clue!
(No one is close geographically yet. It's not Latin America, but it has some close ties.)

The runway is a little over 2700m in length (asphalt). It had international sked services in the 60's and up to the mid 70's. None since, but used sporadically for large (heavy) cargo flights and even occasional chartered pax flights into the country, as the airport in the Capital has a much shorter runway.

If no joy in the next 12 hours or so, I'll post a google earth pic.

Cakung (Baucau) Airport, East Timor ?

Juan C. Angara, Phillipines ?

I reckon Evansb might be correct... the Google Earth view looks very similar; plus, it has Portugese connections, and, it serves Dili; which has a much shorter runway.

I'm sure Grizzled will tell us in due course?

Bingo Brian! I guessed you would probably be the one to solve it. Sorry I've been off line for a day, the 'net is unreliable here.
Take it away Brian.

Grizzled,

That was a really good challenge... let's have more of them.

Sorry, not Kenai, AK. Too far west and north.

[grizzled]

Hmmm . . . sure looks like the part of the world that you (and I) call home.

[flyingwing]

Kamloops? (Though I thought we'd had that).

[Mr_Grubby]

How about Peace River Airport, Alberta, Canada ?

C.

[handsfree]

You've convinced me Mr G but Evansb's call of course.
Phew ! I can stop googling - just how many airfields does Canada have ?

[evansb]

Mr. Grubby is correct Peace River, Alberta (CYPE). You have control.

[Mr_Grubby]

Ok then chaps, try this one.
Sorry about the large size of the picture. I don't know how to reduce it.
