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.

Getting ever more tedious here - let's see challenges that are not simply vertical aerial shots (anyone can do that), but oblique, with challenging subjects. But then I'm probably out of order---

I agree with your last sentence

Is this more to your taste?

You're right, but where's this?

To quote from the very first post in the What Aerodrome Thread

Moderator note: In the interest of keeping this thread running smoothly please observe the following 'rules'.

- 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 idenitifies 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.

- There will only be one challenge running at a time.
So I guess my challenge needs to be completed first, before going to your "but oblique, with challenging subjects" image

A clue for you - the second photo was taken on 19th May 1980, and the clouds are a further clue.

OK - iawtr, I'll rescind Post 3325, but as for 3322----

A photo? Or a negative? Why?

Stand to be corrected though

I know where your's is Cuefaye (it was allegedly the place to avoid when you were trying to go somewhere else) but I'm still working on Nvubu's nasty bit of weather - someone hunting hurricanes ? LFH

Cumulo-mamatus.

Central US. Former military installation.

I agree with C2j. That's got to be in Tornado Alley.

Edited to try to narrow it down - North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas?

cuefaye,

Nothing wrong with vertical shots as far as I am concerned.

The clouds are nothing to do with the "weather", but very much the result of an earth bound event.

North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas are on the wrong side of the country.

And yes, it was a former military base - B17 training.

Since they are central US, how can they be on "the wrong side of the country".

My apology, not central, try the edges.

edit - too far south and too far east.

Clouds could be the result of an above ground atom bomb test, or maybe a photo montage for a film ie a water based effect.

Clouds are the result of a natural event - the date being the clue.

New Mexico or Arizona?

edit:

Was that a volcanic eruption?

Well, the only thing that has happened like that is the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Sooo... Washington State or Oregon...

Mt. St. Helens eruption & Washington State are both correct.

Ephrata Municipal, WA.

OH if correct.

P.S. FWIW I don't have any objection to vertical air shots. It's all good...
