PPRuNe Forums - Which Aerodrome Mk III

Getting ever more tedious here - let's see challenges that are not simply vertical aerial shots (anyone can do that), but oblique, with challenging subjects. But then I'm probably out of order---

I agree with your last sentence

Is this more to your taste?

You're right, but where's this?

To quote from the very first post in the What Aerodrome Thread

Quote:

Moderator note: In the interest of keeping this thread running smoothly please observe the following 'rules'.

- A historic picture of an aerodrome will be posted. Newer pictures are allowed but the theme here is to compare/contrast old with new as well as identifying aerodromes which no longer exist.

- The person who correctly idenitifies it will be declared the 'winner' by the original poster.

- That winner shall either post another challenge or declare the floor open. Anyone may then post the next challenge.

- There will only be one challenge running at a time.

So I guess my challenge needs to be completed first, before going to your "but oblique, with challenging subjects" image

A clue for you - the second photo was taken on 19th May 1980, and the clouds are a further clue.

OK - iawtr, I'll rescind Post 3325, but as for 3322----

A photo? Or a negative? Why?

Stand to be corrected though

I know where your's is Cuefaye (it was allegedly the place to avoid when you were trying to go somewhere else) but I'm still working on Nvubu's nasty bit of weather - someone hunting hurricanes ? LFH

Cumulo-mamatus.

Central US. Former military installation.

I agree with C2j. That's got to be in Tornado Alley. :eek:

Edited to try to narrow it down - North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas?

cuefaye,

Nothing wrong with vertical shots as far as I am concerned.

The clouds are nothing to do with the "weather", but very much the result of an earth bound event.

North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas are on the wrong side of the country.

And yes, it was a former military base - B17 training.

Since they are central US, how can they be on "the wrong side of the country". :uhoh:

My apology, not central, try the edges.

edit - too far south and too far east.

Clouds could be the result of an above ground atom bomb test, or maybe a photo montage for a film ie a water based effect.
