Atyrau airport in Kazakhstan

skwinty 6th Sep 2011 12:24

I think sabredog has the correct answer.

They drive on the left, it is in a desert ( Betpak Dala ) and the google images of the airfield tie up with the posted picture.:cool:

And, apparently, it is not enough to know that there is a long lens effect, one needs to read it correctly. Almost only airport in Kazachstan that I DID NOT look at :ugh:.

As an ex-Soviet state, I don't think they drive on the left, however…..

And the altitude is -72 ft Minus 72 feet (StressFree probably has fits of laughter right now), and the other (Right this direction) runway is not active. The latitude was not bad, though, 47°N.

StressFree 6th Sep 2011 12:35

Sabredog, yes its Atyrau in Kazakhstan :D

Somewhere that I fly to several times a year.

Over to you sir.


Reg, its a grim place in the winter. We usually go from here to Uralsk, which is FAR worse. The boss is an oil man and theres lots in this area.......even at -72'. :O

Thank you,Stressfree.

sabredog 6th Sep 2011 13:00

Sorry Stressfree,not Blackbushe,although there is a passing resemblance.
Correct,Swinty,it is in the U.S.A.

skwinty 6th Sep 2011 13:12

Is it in New England?

(passing resemblance to Blackebush, Farnborough)

sabredog 6th Sep 2011 13:15

New England is correct,Swinty.

descol 6th Sep 2011 13:34
