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.

I thought that as well. With the pace of this thread now, in some parts of the world at least I think we're going to run out of airfields pretty soon I know Newcastle has been in at least twice. Doesn't massively bother me as long as they are interesting photos.

Mel used to keep a record of challenges and certainly did for Mks 1 & 2 of this thread.

Meanwhile, slb has the thread.

It's quick and easy to check if a particular aerodrome has been uses as a challenge, at least on this MK III version of the thread: Simply go to the top right side of the page you are viewing and click on "Search This Thread". Type in the name of the aerodrome you want to use and/or the associated city. It will then display the post and date, if it has been used. Voila. As this thread goes back more than seven years that's a reasonable cut off -- or perhaps the group could agree on a different timeframe between posting of duplicate aerodromes (3 years, 5 years, whatever...) and a Mod could post a sticky with the rules. If no one wants to assume the task and responsibility of record keeping, a simple search will generally suffice.

I'm going to get the spreadsheet of airfields up to date over Christmas.

There are a fair number that have appeared more than once - I've had a couple of them, A number have had their images deleted, so you don't know if which pictures have been used before. Some people delete their posts - which can cause a bit of confusion - especially in the spreadsheet where originally the challengers were referenced by page - I've switched to by date.

It would be nice of it could be pinned to the top of the forum as it gets lost in the general thread.

What a star nvubu.

In the past some people have deleted their images as soon as the challenge has been solved. There is one person whose name I sometimes see on this site who did it regularly. There is no need to do so.

I am a member of another site where the location of the challenge has to be guessed. It's been running for five years and no posts or images have ever been removed. What might be a factor is that no image hosting sites are required and the thread is not at the mercy of them.

Images may now be directly uploaded to here.

If the one person posts again it might be handy that you reply with quoting the images (and your first guess) then the images are saved under 2 different posters.

Dook, where did you found the Stavanger tower?
Because i am sure I saw the beachvolleybal field before. But it might have been when I was searching the Nordic for suitable photos for a new quest.

Dook has a straight hit

Rafael Hernández International Airport
in Puerto Rico.
It looks if the whole Airport has been renovated around it.
It must have been there for ages.

Over to Dook

It's been there since February 1992 when it was hit by a runaway DC-4.
