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.

Not an arborist and I don't think they are stork nests, but I'll shoot for South America.

Might aircraft ID help us?
Cessna 172 44000 built
Cessna 150 only 25000 built.
I think we will need another clue?

bear,

I was beginning to wonder what you have been drinking today after your suggestion.

I have tried everything I can think of and we certainly need a clue.

magruder is late on parade and I am the jankers inspection officer...…………...

That looks more like Mistletoe than nests. I'm no expert but the trees could be Aspens. Not that it helps much!

What I think it are crows nests in a hardwood tree in spring.
So probably modest climate. But then the gravel strip makes not completely sense....

It only matters what I would have been drinking before my Suggestion.
But that was nothing today.

They were last on-line yesterday - 27th May 2019 07:28. Maybe has forgotten about the thread. Can't PM them as I guess that they are too new.

OK - it refused my PM, said their mailbox was full. If you can send them one, I'd suggest giving them till 18:00 to respond, after which it will be an OH.

I'm a bit confused about their profile as it states Total posts to be zero, yet there's a whole page of "Find more posts....". I've noticed the same with GLIDER90.

I've just tried to do the same thing with the same result.

I'm not quite sure how someone so new can have a full in box.

Suggest we go OH now. I'm sure I'm not the only one twiddling thumbs.

Is it not pprune's oblique way of indicating that he's a newbie and not allowed PMs?

When I was a 'bad boy' about a year ago, I was initially unable to post, then allowed to post but not 'quote' until I had 10 postings and in addition, my total number of postings shrunk to zero.

I think we should now rescue the thread and go OH.

Does anyone else agree ?
