Amsterdam Schiphol Airport it is:

The Italian Air Force DC9 was a complete red herring, as was the file name.

Dan Winterland has control :D

Not much of the airfield visible, but a real big clue!

Ascension Island?

..if not, a view of Gib that I am not familiar with

I go for that too Dan. Maybe because I THINK I see a Victor with 'drag device.'

Not ASI or GIB, Victors didn't go to GIB - the runway was too short!

It was a regular haunt for the Victor, subsequently re-named after a man who was murdered shortly after landing here! Anyone who has flown into this airport will recognise the mountain, it's about the only thing you see from the terminal.

Jumping in here...is it Cape Town ??

Rarotonga ,Cook Islands

Two tigers ... and now two dogs! What's goin on?

Seems like a good shout, sabre, but who was Mr Raratonga!:}

Raraotonga is situated in the Cook Island and was discovered by Captaiin Cook. He was later murdered in Hawai,
Sabredog refers to the F-86D. No canine connection.

Looks Mediterranean to me - Suda on Crete?

SD

Somewhere in Turkey and something to do with the Gulf?

Saab and Phileas are getting warmer. The sea behind me as I took the picure was the Med.

Another big clue was 'murder'!

Just done a Wikipaedia check. It's actually named after two murdered people!

Here's another clue. LCN has two very different meanings at this airport! Although strictly speaking, in one of the meanings the 'L' is superfluous....

Been there a few times, haven't we Dan!

Palermo International Airport (IATA: PMO, ICAO: LICJ), also known as Falcone-Borsellino Airport and Punta Raisi Airport

Correct.

Just a few time BEagle! The Azzolini Beach Hotel, great pizzas, horrible red wine headaches. All fond memories.

Was Punte Raisi airport, renamed Falcone - Borsellino airport after the two judges who were murdered by the Mafia within a month of each other while driving from the airport to Palermo city. They got Falcone with a bomb which left a crater that cut off all six lanes of the Autostrada. The new terminal took 12 years to complete, it was left half done for 10 years as the Mafia had bled the money away in extorsion.

Mr TM, you have the con. But no obscure heli landing sites! :cool:

No obscure heli landing sites! Would I do that to you?

I can see two heli pads!

You can, but there was 3 helicopters; so the one above had to make do with unmarked tarmac.

ATC do not like you to make a straight in approach at this airfield.

Is that Oban?
