PPRuNe Forums Thread Wiki: Which Aerodrome Mk IV
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.

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 (Open House). Anyone may then post the next challenge.
  • If the winner of the challenge does not respond within 48 hours, to the notification of their success, an Open house can be declared when there is consensus between multiple other posters which are on-line.
  • (if you in know in advance that you will not be able to follow up with an own challenge you can post your answer with "(Open House when proven correct)"
  • 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 to be 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 too much Google Earth,Zoom Earth or any other online map pics.
  • Try to post images that are not already present on internet, as Google Image Search will find them if they are. Searching by using Google Image Search, or programs a-like, is ought not to be done.
  • 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.
  • Due to obsessive posters in the past, the web moderators have enforced the 24-hour rule:
Each challenge shall run at least 24-hours before a winner is declared by the original poster. This is to enable all Ppruners to search for the challenge and to contribute. · This is not a competition, no points are assigned to the winner. Please be careful when posting your answer early, especially when you intend to declare Open House. Much other Ppruners are put-off if the answer is already given and you still have to wait till the initial 24-hours are over anyway. Anyone can edit this Wiki post provided they have been member of Pprune for 90 days and have minimum 90 posts. But please let's get consensus before changing and not go crazy.

Update Database

Happy New Year to verybody on this thread!
Asturias has updated the Excel list with all challenges since June/July 2021.
Thank you!

I have done some check-up on the list for the Mk III thread.
(as this thread is now closed posts can no longer be deleted, and the numbering was a bit messed-up)
I have colored the challenges in the MkIII sheet of which the photos have become lost,
So everybody can use these Airports again for a challenge without fearing to re-use photo's

I also managed to update the analysis on the 2nd and 3rd tabs in the Excel (originally set-up by by nvubu)
It shows we have handled 128 challenges and all have been solved! very good!
OUAQUKGF Ops and Asturias 56 are best in solving the challenges with 14 first posted answers.
I am sure there are more thread followers who have solved a number of challenges without posting the answer,
(| personally like the posted pun, but be careful not to give too much clues away)
Asturias posted the most challenges with 25.

One point I would like to share with you is:
We have not posted any double challenges this year (good!) but about 25-30 entries have been posted earlier.
(Munich-Riem for instance 3 times in 2020-2021)
This is of course not a problem as long as we manage to post different photos from the previous challenges.
(I think I have done Eindhoven 3 times)
Coming months I will try to align the various (slightly) mis-spelt Airport names and Countries so the list will become easier to check.

If somebody knows how to load this excel or the zip into the Wikipost at the top, please feel free to try!
(and explain to me later)

"I too think a professional heli outfit but I think a bit less strict as offshore. Mountain flying?"

there are some mountains close by but I wouldn't describe this as a an airport in the mountains - more like foothills...... On approach

I have been informed by Asturias that he has been given a ban to all H&N threads.
Why I don’t know and I do not want to take sides on it.
Asturias hope/thinks it could be lifted soon.

In the mean time he has revealed the challenge to me and asked me to host the challenge.
I can reveal that there is considerable more helicopter flying from neatly arranged spots at the other side of the field.
As I have no personal photos and to stay in the historical ambiance of this thread please find below my contribution to this challenge:

Asturias sends his regards but is still awaiting rehabilitation.

As I have not received any aircraft ID from yesterday’s clue,
I now post a character recognition clue.
Should not take long now?

Bleriot operated a flying school there.

Extreme caution!
Please observe the 24 hour rule.
Asturias and Ouaqukgf have been banned for a month for jumping the gun on Christmas Eve.
I hope to see them back here soon.

Over to Jensdad

Thank you SLB. I wasn't expecting to be correct with that. I've never actually been to Pau airport, but I travelled through the city on a train a few years back.

Nothing to hand at the moment, so it's OH.
