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.

Yes, it is in the USA, but very roughly half a continent west of North Carolina. I can't pick out this old terminal in the present Gxxgle Earth image of this aerodrome.

Edited at 14:50 to add:
This picture was taken from the window of the United Airlines 737 which I rode from KDCA with intermediate stops at KMDW and Kxxx. Through-plane service is no longer available between this airport and KDCA/KIAD/KBWI.

Could this be PIR Pierre Municipal, South Dakota. Sometimes known as Pierre Regional and due to have its new terminal open on 1 September.

No, it isn't Pierre. You are too far north.

In the early 70s Northwest had a flight which started in Seattle and stopped at Spokane, Bozeman, Billings, Helena, Pierre, Milwaukee and finally on to KDCA ... all in a 727. Took all day (west to east). There were three stops in Montana, but I may have the Montana cities and their order wrong. I was a pax from Montana to KDCA. The Pierre terminal looked pre-WW2 in the 70s.

Mr evansb ... you ought to leave it as Lincoln KLNK.

My flight was KDCA. KMDW. KOMA, KLNK. Omaha to Lincoln isn't very far and it seemed that we flew at about the height of the tall TV towers.

I'll credit evansb with the win.

I'll be away from my computer for a number of hours starting now. I was about to declare Open House, but evansb came just in time.

Spot on Terrence Kenora Water Aerodrome, location identifier CJM9, is an airport of entry, as it is served by Canada Customs Officers. Your turn.

Neither R.A.F. Abingdon nor R.A.F.Binbrook.
I believe the hangar to be a Type A, which should provide a good clue.
