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.

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.

No but it has been volcanic within the last few thousand years, tho not recently - but that covers a lot of places thereabouts..............

Altis
What you have said, it seems still to be a place of continuous fighting.

I don't think Milos is in the Aegean, sensuo stricto. And although there's been a lot of fighting there there's also several thousand years of history - you just had to choose the right time to live there......

I haven't got a clue where it is, but I'm very intrigued!
While I'm here I suppose I'll have a wild guess... Could it be the old Rhodes airport - Maritsa I think it was called?

You can call it an alternate truth or a parallel universe but in the shooter game Arma 3
it is 2036 and there is an island state Altis almost completely modeled after Lemnos.

It is difficult to model scrub and weed and by leaving it out it saves on your digitized Garderner.
I do not how to shoot with a PlayStation pad or keyboard I just ran into it when searching for the geographical feature which is probably the salt lake?

Ok Lemnos or Limnos it is - "Hephaestus International" (IATA: LXS, ICAO: LGLM) - he was the Greek God of Metallurgy who was thrown (physically by Zeus) out of Olympus and landed here - no information on type of approach

V good beaches and one of Europe's only two deserts.

MaxTow wins and has declared OH
