Lanyu, Orchid Island Taiwan? (KYD)
|
A precision strike, Harry.
Lanyu Island, just off the SE coast of Taiwan, home to a large population of indigenous people, who are not very happy about their island being used as a dumping ground for waste from nuclear power stations. http://i.imgur.com/OV3kxxU.jpg Here are some of the canoes that inspired the terminal building's architecture, with the symbol that dook mentioned: http://i.imgur.com/M0KWJZ5.jpg An unconventional disembarkation from a Twin Otter: http://i.imgur.com/VXBQmAN.jpg HH has control. |
Actually I'll hand it to Dook - his/her Taiwan suggestion led me to Google Taiwan Airports ................... which was a bit too easy..................
That airport looks like an interesting landing???? Amazed someone went off the runway on the UPHILL side |
HH,
I thought about that too, but looking at the runway orientation, I suspect they get healthy onshore crosswinds. As HH graciously said, dook has control. PS I recently completed the Melbourne to Hong Kong leg of the Round-the-World virtual race on sailonline.org. Quite a few PPRuNers participate - my vessel is Miss Saigon. When transiting the chain of islands in the Luzon Strait, I wondered where the boundary between the Philippines and Taiwan was. That's how I discovered Lanyu/Orchid island. |
Actually I'll hand it to Dook - |
OK....... still in use but not for landings.....

I know both Bovingdon and Wroughton but I don't think it's either; I would take a first stab at Manston.

East Fortune?
|
Woodbridge or Bentwaters?
|
All close but wrong
Dook is correct in that has been both RAF and US - but not U Heyford either https://www.pprune.org/members/32618...-29-134145.jpg |
F100? Wethersfield.
|
Or with all those trees, Lakenheath.
