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.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Tell Jen she has a smart dad. Erbil it is as it was in 2006.
Yes, we were looking at the existing airport which seemed to be able to cater for the current and expected needs for at least a decade when we were taken to the "new" one with a 105 metre wide 5000 metre long runway, terminal with 6 A380 capable gates and new control tower - the existing one was the most modern we saw in Iraq except for Mosul - another story of wasted aid funds.
Told it was Swedish aid money. Guess they had a decent surplus that year.
Fun six weeks and 41 Blackhawk hours, not to mention the IOM Advanced security course in Jordan before we could travel into Iraq. Sitting here in Tarawa is very tame in comparison.
Jensdad has the con.

Hi Mister Gahan. thanks for that, I'll let her know Didn't realise the runway was 5000m long there. That's slightly lengthy, but I guess it does get a bit warm there from time to time...
I still don't seem to be able to upload a photo (I'm sure there was a post somewhere on PPRuNe about how to do that. Anyone know where it is?)

You can try jsu pulling it in by drag 'n drop but the most relaible way is as follows
Log in
Go to USER CP in the yellow bar at the top
Goto PICTURED ALBUMS in the side bar
ADD Album
Upload Pictures - and then find picture and add it
Once its there click on it and it gives you either an html or a bb address - copy (I use the bb version) and then back to this forum
Open new post hit the little yellow square with sun and mountain and insert the bb code

Thanks for that Harry. I've posted pics here before using drag and drop but that doesn't seem to work for me now. I've tried to create an album but that ain't happening either. Not to worry. Hopefully I'll have it fathomed out by the time I next get one right
Still OH

I rotate off site every six or so weeks for work in the "home office" and to let the rapidly improving regulatory team here operate "solo" for two or three weeks, with me far far away on internet.
Very satisfying work after similar tasks in Kabul and Jakarta.

In the first image the road system on the east and the and the watercourse in the top of the image are still, for the most part, the same.
