Alta Airport seems to match the near end of the photo, but there doesn't seem enough water for the far end. When I search for images, I can see that this is it.

That was an interesting search of airports in Sweden, Finland and Norway - next time I'll start in the north and work down :)

OPEN HOUSE as I'm out tomorrow.

Happy New Year.

Alta it is - nice on a nice day but not so good in bad weather.....

Oddly its really far east - approx the same longitude as the Libyan/Egyptian frontier

Over to you and a Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Just noticed Open House so here you go - somewhere a bit warmer..................

Triangular - southern USA ?

Possibly Jenkins. possibly................

I have to say when I first saw the photo, I immediately thought of the GAFA. :E

Whyalla Airport, WYA, YWHA.

Open House if correct.

And here is a photo in front of the luxurious passenger terminal a few years ago ( it has recently been extended.)

OK. Seeing we are into triangular airfields in warm climates, try this one.

Beware though; the photo is more than 50 years old and rwy 02-20 (the vertical one in the picture) is now out of service, although it is still visible in GE.
Also, because of urban encroachment, the threshold of rwy 29 has moved up to the 1,000' touchdown markers.

Not certain on this one, but is it Tennant Creek?

OH if correct.

Tennant Creek it is, although it looks a bit different now from when I was building hours for a commercial licence.

Hunting about in my old photos, it is sad to see the large number of runways that are now closed. :{

CW has declared 'OPEN HOUSE'

Can I post a photo like this?

Google gives that registration to an Air Nuigini Falcon 900X but its clearly a Fokker F-28 or F-100 - probably the former as I can't see big clamshell reversers

that puts it pre-2004 when they upgraded the fleet.

Edit - http://www.aussieairliners.org/f-28o...ini/p2anw.html shows a picture ofthe F-28 with the same registration

Lots of the airports/fields have been "improved" since that picture was taken (no doubt at vast cost to the Australian tax-payer) so its hard to see that hangar /terminal.

A quick google of PNG airports 1985 tho' produces some amazing images of long forgotton types - plus an An-124!!!

Well Alan you've got me there. Definitely an F-28, and late 70's judging by the colour scheme. I am not recognising the background, but it is obviously a port that was served by Air Niugini F-27's as well, given the set of steps in the background on the left-hand side. It is obviously a coastal port, but does not look like any of the PNG ports I recognise. The curved-roof building is what is really throwing me. This is purely a wild guess, but could it be Honiara?

OH if correct.

Papua New Guinea is the closest I can guess so far.

Looks like a crushed coral surface - which puts it coastal - can't see anything around the main bit of PNG - the only "hangar" style building seems to be at the south end of the terminal area at Port Moresby POM

Might be out on their route network

Honiara looks a bit to green - this looks really coastal as in on the beach - like the old Jeffman Airport in Sorong or Tarawa

Definitely not POM. Coastal ports served by the F-28 in those days were WWK, MAG, MAS, KVG, RAB, KIE and LAC. The only crushed coral strips (or environs) back then were MAS and KVG. Apart from BNE and CNS (of which it is neither), HIR was the only other international port served by the F-28, but I don't recall the F-27 going there, hence my confusion.

MAS Momote seems to be a good possible - it has/had a hangar right on the side of the strip - and it's very coastal

KAV doesn't look to have the same coral surface
