Loring AFB, Maine (but not any more!)



If I'm right, it's Open House again.

Google Earth says you are correct.

Back again. This time I'm pretty sure the photo is old enough to be nostalgia.

seacue challenge - first hint
 

This aerodrome figured in the news about a quarter-century ago.

Hmm, 25 years ago - Falklands? You've just had me google the coasts of Argentina and Uruguay - no luck (not to say I might have missed it though).

That looks like open sea and swell waves + sub tropical or tropical vegetation... Will keep trying

Northern hemisphere. Maybe not exactly 25 years ago.

Carribean - Greneda?

Grenada, yes ... but identify the airport.

pearls airport per chance......

Yes, Pearls at Grenville, Grenada. My first hint made it too easy.....

sidtheesexist has control.

Apologies Seacue et al - not in a posn to post pickies - the floor is open :)

My 10 cents worth :}

VEEPS

Fairbanks (PAFA/FAI). It's the water what gave it away (how many airports have something like 19W between 19L and 19R, and a simple 19 (ski strip) just before 19L?). First time I flew in there I thought it was pretty interesting.

Assuming I've gotten it, I must request a deferment. I've got one I've been dying to use but I haven't scanned it (tomorrow perhaps). Floor be open.

PS Last weekend I spent hours trying to figure-out Hamburg to no avail, but I really enjoyed going through so many of my historical sources again. Can't believe this one jumped out at me... :ok:

Glasgow EGPF - or is it too early and it was RNAS Sanderling at Abbotsinch?

Glasgow it is, around 30 years ago.

I will to confess to having an advantage as I was working there 30 years ago! I even recognise the cars in the car park! Will have a quick rummage for a new challenge :) and post as soon as I figure out how!:p

Can't see a pic?

Hmm - not sure why. To keep the thread going I'd better pass and leave the floor to someone who CAN manage to post a pic!:\
