Midway? or Christmas Island?
|
It is not in Australia, not Midway, nor Christmas Island. It is an island country however, located in the South Pacific.
|
Nandi (Nadi)?
|
old, not bold is correct:ok: Well done:D Nadi International Airport on the island of Viti Levu. in the sometimes Commonwealth Country of Fiji. You have control.
|
I thought it might be Nadi, but was hoping it wasn't as I had my own pic in reserve! too late to use it now, so here it is...

I landed 20m from the main runway at Nadi in a balloon once, and witnessed a 747 take off as close as I'll ever see one I suspect;) (They'd held it so's we could land-steam gives way to sail:})
|
Thanks Andy. Great shot of Nadi. Anyone have an aerodrome photo they would like to post? :)
|
|
I reckon that's Bentwaters.
As I'm just a layman, open house if I'm right. |
Didn't think that'd take long.
You can just make out Woodbrige in the distance. |
|
36 hours later, Clues 1 and 2:
Northern hemisphere, west of the meridian. Build commenced in 1943. |
Almost all coastal USA airfields have their main runway running E-W. I've searched long and hard and haven't found such a site with the large island / peninsula between the airport and the sea.
|
The "big man" has a couple of the todays biggest corporate jets based here. I can't name it because I don't have a picture to post! :bored:

Please read your PM. seacue |
Wild guess...somewhere in the San Fransisco bay area? Having said that, I can't find anything on google earth that matches it:(
|
I've followed his strong hint and Cubs2Jets clearly has the correct answer which he is too bashful to post.
|
seacue
Knowing your location I would have expected an immediate answer from you. 621andy Wild man, wild! And wrong.:} Having followed the strong hint, I am assuming that seacue and Cubs2jets know the aerodrome I posted. But, until someone actually names it I remain undefeated!;) Clue 3: Sisters. Clue 4: Uniquely shaped hangar. |
I know it:
1) Alka Seltzer!! 2) My sons But I have been away for several days (Goodwood revival) and am too tired to post another one. |
Andrews AFB KADW ... but Cubs2Jets surely knew it first so he gets the credit. Neither he nor I have anything to post.
KADW is 25 miles from me, yet I didn't recognize it without C2J's hint.. seacue |

But I have been away for several days (Goodwood revival) and am too tired |
621andy Wild man, wild! And wrong.:} Anyway, is anyone gonna post the next pic? |
If it's open house, here's an easy one to get things going again...

Apologies andy but it doesn't appear to be showing..
Time for my debut..? http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/d...o/mystery2.jpg |
Hmm, don't know what happened there:* Now you've posted a good one, I suppose mine'll have to wait for another time:E
As to the photo, hmm, no idea again! very foresty, malaysia/Borneo? On past experience, I'm probably several continents out;) |
Cheers Andy. Nice try, but no orangutans here!
|
a) Tropical rainforest
b) Central America possibly Caribbean Island, but probably mainland. Thought it might have been Belize City but overcome with a desire to find out what aeroplane it was taken from. Gave up on that one too as I have too much homework today, therefore would appreciate the aircraft answer to put me out of my misery. |
I've visited Horta in the Azores, which looked a bit like that.
|
Tiger_Mate & The SSK, both incorrect I'm afraid
|
Montserrat?
BSD. |
Very nice try, but alas...
keep going! |
Looks a lot like JF Mitchell on Bequia, but not quite.
|
No cigar this time :)
The people here have a very pronounced Dutch accent.. |
Thought maybe TNCC Hato, on the Dutch Antilles, but the Google image doesn't fit:rolleyes:....am I close?
|
Governors harbour on Eleuthera, Dutch east indies,sort of fits, but not really.. GRRRR:*
|
Caudillo's challenge
Sarmi Airport(ZRM) Indonesia perhaps?
|
Not quite folks, I'm wondering if this one is a touch too tricky...
Well, the aircraft in the previous photo is the mighty ATP It's a small island, part of a volcanic archipelago. Here's another view http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/d...lo/mystery.jpg |
Flores, Azores?
|
Fraid not barry := (But points for rhyming!)
|
St Eustasuis (sp?) Netherlands Antilles
