Mr Ripley,

It may look a bit old and tired but not US, it's certainly functioning.

Sorry, it's lack of sleep....

Not Panama sorry.

In fact, Panama is rather a long way from this airfield.....

Wake Island?

As it does look a lot like Midway.

Flap40 17th Dec 2008 21:15

It looks a bit like Carlisle aka Eddie Stobart international to me.

AfgAirOps 18th Dec 2008 11:00

Not Wake Island & not Carlisle.

Wake Island is the closest so far.

Next wild guess is Guam

AfgAirOps 18th Dec 2008 15:05

Sorry, not Guam.

Wake Island was the closest, but not close.

Guam is closer.

Anderson AFB on Guam??????

seacue 19th Dec 2008 18:31

As a wild guess, Palau....

AfgAirOps 20th Dec 2008 15:08

Not Okinawa, Port Moresby or Palau & still not Guam :}

This airfield was originally built by the French & 'improved' by the Japanese.

How about Hai Phong Cat Bi Airport

I have it on good authority that the challenge aerodrome might be Can Tho AAF, South Vietnam. Photo taken in 1965. ?

AfgAirOps 22nd Dec 2008 04:43

It is indeed Can Tho.

evansb, over to you.....
