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.

Thanks CGB
I am off to bed after posting this remarkable feat of Air control.
which you do normally not see in civil aviation.

It looks like Europe and a military airfield - so based on your civil aviation comment, how about a joint civil/military airfield?
Italy maybe, but many of their runways are NW/SE. So maybe further north in Europe.
By the way, as you have posted an image from Google, that could be the same aircraft. It looks like an A330 to me.

Looks very similar in configuration to Skrydstrup Air Base, Vojens, Denmark, but the runway numbers are wrong. I think the aircraft might be U.S.N. Boeing P-8s.

Not Italy
Skydstrup is much closer but still to far south.
I do not believe this is a P-8.
As international travel is only charter from here a 737 is more likely than a A330.
Indeed I think that the satellite travelled in the same direction as the aircraft taking off and snapped the plane twice.

This is airborne imagery, not satellite. GE uses both; as you zoom in, it switches from the latter to the former.

Looks like 1950's, Trans Canada Airlines so my best guess would be Montreal St-Hubert.
