The location of this airfield is part of Europe in this country.

jensdad 31st Jul 2019 09:45

Going purely off the clues and not the photo... Would it be Yeslikoy, now Istanbul Ataturk?

dook 31st Jul 2019 09:53

Not Turkey I'm afraid.

This country is much bigger.

dook 31st Jul 2019 11:24

There were some of these stationed here.

Bigger than Turkey , part in Europe

We're talking the USSR here originally no?

And that looks like maybe an Li2??

Now is it STILL part of Russia???

dook 31st Jul 2019 12:27

USSR yes, but now called Russia. Li-2 yes.

The location of the airfield is part of Europe.

It is considered that western Russia is to the west of the Urals, and that part to the east is in Asia.

We are to the west of the Urals in a city.

Your service.

Thanks dook

I try to go to the edge of the box sometimes,
These exotic challenges tend to be the easiest

An airfield ??

I know where the balloon is.

I have been through the airport there many times, but what are you after ?

Self loading bear 31st Jul 2019 12:47

As the balloon has an official aircraft registration.
I think this exact spot applies as Aerodrome?

dook 31st Jul 2019 12:48

Really ?

It's Downtown Disney, Orlando.

Self loading bear 31st Jul 2019 12:52

Wrong!!!!!!

dook 31st Jul 2019 12:56

You could have fooled me !

I thought it was Disney Springs.

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 13:17

EuroDisney? the company that makes the balloons is French I think

Well better than being Mickey Mouse

I like something different - just wish I had a better imagination

try this - definitely no Theme Parks here....

Asturias,

This could be anywhere in the world !

I am sure that you will post another photo soon, so may we have it now please.

In the meantime I for one cannot even start.

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 15:24

Just getting you in the mood............... this is the airport for quite big & busy spot but as usual one that few people will ever have visited (or want to visit TBH...)

South America ?

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 16:30

No - another continent - its green above but it can get a bit drier.......

Wild guess at Freetown Lungi?

dook 31st Jul 2019 16:43

NW India ?

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 17:02

Jenkins is closest - still a ways away..................................... heading out but a close look at the picture at 16:24 might help................ also visible in this one

Akwa Ibom?

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 17:25

well.... right continent but quite a ways from the target

Off until about midnight - a Client is buying me dinner...........................

Wotever you're on I don't want any. :ooh:

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 07:33

None of the above but Bear is probably closest but Dook is correct - this is no tourist location

This place has a bigger population than Manchester or Lyon and is based on a single industry - but you'll never have heard of it

It is in the FrancAfrique - football is pretty big here I believe

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1d37d9ed42.jpg

dook 1st Aug 2019 08:09

I've been looking at the wrong side of Africa.

Maybe that single industry is film-making.

Are we in Gabon ?

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:16

Not Gabon and not film-making - something a lot more basic................

The good people are largely Muslim by faith

I repeat - a close look at the picture at 16:24 might help

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0eb5c9fe07.jpg

dook 1st Aug 2019 08:21

I have looked several times at that post.

All I see is s large river/estuary possible on the coast.

dook 1st Aug 2019 08:35

If I wouldn't want to go there is it near Sierra Leone ?

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:39

Firstly Apologies on the population of the town - I confused the Department numbers with those of the city... its NOT bigger than Manchester......

but location wise Dook is getting there ................ cross-country, on foot, the hard way but getting there ;)

It is indeed a large river but it is nowhere near the coast................ some of the local lads................ and what some people do as the day job

I believe there is a semi regular ATR service from the Capital to here but what the frequency is I'm not sure

Quite a lot of charters tho'

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:48

I'm running out of pictures
