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.

It's not in Scandinavia but it does have an associated motor sports facility.

The plane in the second picture (behind the orange tent) is an ultravia pelican. If this is in Europe, I can make a good guess on the callsign. Doesn't narrow it down much, the plane I have in mind has been everywhere.

No - it's just something parked up - I don't think this is used by the military very much - its hard to find any history of it at all but I have never seen or heard anyone mention an military connection.

The gate IS interesting as the airport is surrounded by the motor sports facility so day-to-day you have to use a tunnel to access the hangars and the runways............ Of course big kit is brought in across the race track

It looks more like a T-37 to me.

Apologies about the T-37 - I honestly didn't remember it.... but I'm busy tonight and so will stretch the 24 hr rule and award the Palm d'Or to Tuesje with Braga - which really is a nice place

Quite so.
In the meantime, having looked at a TWA Lindbergh Line map, I wondered what had become of Winslow Arizona (apart from the Eagles song) featured large on the transcontinental trunk route and just up the road from OP's challenge. Seems it used to be the most important town in N.Arizona & a rail hub until the Route 66 bypass cut it off and now has a population less than 10k. Just like Radiator Springs In "'Cars"....

" I wondered what had become of Winslow Arizona"

pretty quiet place - not very well off - lot of Native Americans. Not much happens - scenery is interesting and they've redone the old classic La Posada Hotel but it's not as threatening a place after dark as Gallup NM
