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.

Aux - I absolutely accept your word - I never thought you'd done so for a minute - it would take away the whole point of playing.

I just wanted to point out to people that they should check their images before posting......... I was about to search around Bergen TBH

Aux should take up the the challenge which I think he's won fair & square

The last time I suggested that a confirmation from someone other than the OP was acceptable I was shot down, despite it being a fair idea.

We must now wait for confirmation from jensdad

Of course.
After Asturias' most gracious reply I retract my OH and I have a challenge awaiting the thread's indulgence.

Hello auxtank, it is indeed Reykjavik, with a Flugfelag Islands Fokker 50 making a photogenic approach over the lake and church.
I will agree with asturias on this occasion that when the poster has been stupid enough not to change the name of the photo, it would have been fair enough to move on with the thread. I'll be renaming from now on

Looking forward to your challenge, auxtank!

Thanks jensdad - I didn't see the file name on this occasion because I haven't played for a while and forgot that that can be a very quick way to a sly victory - albeit a hollow one at that.

I accept the win - thank you - and nominate jensdad to have another go!

I shall keep my challenge for another day...

Hi auxtank, that's very gracious of you, but I trust that you solved the challenge by fair means. I haven't got anything handy at present so I'll throw it back to you (did you say you had another challenge ready to go?) If you would rather call Open House that will also be fine by me.

You lucky bu**er in your EE!

All I'm checking at this point is:
Eng Bleeds
Packs (so the little darlings out the back are comfortable)
Gear Up and Off
Flaps Up, No Lights.

You'd be supersonic at this point no doubt and breaking green-house glass below.

Thanks for the sentiments - 'twas fun in the old days - I was 21 when I first got my paws on the beast.

Had to get the gear up fast or you'd trap the nosewheel at 250.

Are we in Georgia ?

I would have loved to have flown the Lightning more than anything - but would have probably crashed horribly. Huge Respect to you.

Describe in one sentence what she was like to fly.

Negative; Georgia.

Extremely forgiving - short of fuel on start up - you could actually see the fuel gauges moving in burner - exhilarating - breathtaking climb performance.

Zat enough ?

Wonderfully concise description. Nice one.

No, we ain't in Georgia.

(CRZ PWR selected on FMC at FL 360) Pax pissed and happy or sleeping. CC bitching amongst themselves. I want a cup of coffee so will have to leave the fate of the aircraft to the CP - Fate Is The Hunter - Standard flight.

Wish I could do that in an A320 just to shut the Pax up.

That's very you.
