It looks like only a better class of pilot is allowed there. :E
All the tyre marks are in the touchdown area and right on centerline.
Probably like the one-way strips in New Guinea - Darwinian selection of the survivors.

I wonder how many wrecks can be found within the following terrain?

Cubs2jets 21st Jan 2018 01:38

Wamena, Papua, Indonesia

Heathrow Harry 21st Jan 2018 06:17

Long time since I was in Wamena but it doesn't look quite right

Never been to Mae Hong Son but it looks right on Google earth......................

broadreach 21st Jan 2018 19:59

Mae Hong Son has my vote as well, from studying Google Earth. Terry Dactil, had the same thought, sphincter tightening precision. Traffic appears to be mostly twin turboprops a la ATR.

Malaysia? Seems familiar but not sure where.

dook 22nd Jan 2018 12:08

BSD,

TheChitternFlyer has already confirmed the winner.

But the poster, jay Sata, hasn't

Custom & practice is we wait for him to say it's correctly ID'd and who has the parcel.........................

If one looks at Google Earth it doesn't take a modicum of Rocket Science to confirm that the image posted by Jay Sata isn't anything other than Mae Hong Son.


Can anyone else please concur and therefore reach the right conclusion? we could otherwise be waiting for weeks on end whilst we wait for the OP to reply.

Heathrow Harry 22nd Jan 2018 16:50

I've PM'd him - give it 24 hours as he's in S E Asia....................

broadreach 23rd Jan 2018 19:33

Chitts and Heathrow Harry, we went through periods like this on WOE ages ago and I think we reached a more-or-less consensus that, in the event of the challenger not confirming what appeared to be a correct answer, things would move on with Open House being declared. Even if there was some doubt, the lack of response from a challenger shouldn't be grounds for holding up the fun.

Wrt Mae Hong Son, SMOKEON nailed it within 23 minutes and we're now three days on....

nvubu 23rd Jan 2018 23:16

Jay Sata - The person who correctly names the aerodrome gets to be in control of the thread and has the option of posting their own image or passing control with an Open House. But that person can't post until acknowledged by the challenger - as broadreach says.

In this case you need to cede control to SMOKEON and wait until you correctly name a challenge or there is an open house declared.

Mike Flynn 24th Jan 2018 06:06

Sorry about that.Just deleted so over to you SmokeOn.

SMOKEON 24th Jan 2018 06:46

Thank you, Jay Sata.
Not wishing to muddy the waters further, but JRFD answered challenge #7691 Wrexham
correctly, but was not given the opportunity to offer a new challenge.
I feel JRFD should take the helm, failing that, it's Open House.

Mike Flynn 24th Jan 2018 08:20

Whatever is fair.

Sorry to have messed up the sequence.

SMOKEON 24th Jan 2018 11:33

Jay Sata,
Please check your P.M.s.

SMOKEON 25th Jan 2018 06:49

As there has not been a response from JRFD, I believe it is now " Open House".

This is a two-parter. The dirt strip is roughly east/west and was used predominately by the UN over the past two decades. The tarmac is quite new and about 20nm north. Both airfields share the same name.
