Belize Municipal .....(from about 2005)....Confirmed from OP, from telecon... OPEN HOUSE .....

Good morning/afternoon/evening all.

I can confirm that sycamore has correctly identified Belize.

Here's a strip that a friend of mine occasionally flies his Chipmunk to, for lunch:

On a hunch it's your part of the world I Goggled "canada golf course airstrip".

Looks like Sandpiper Golf Course BC.

My post concerning the correct identification of Sandpiper/Rowena's airstrip was deleted, so for the record, now that 24 hours has safely passed, I can repost my follow-up photo, which would have narrowed it down:

and a location image, for those interested:

dook has control.

Thank you I42.

Open House.

Welcome KJ - I was the same a number of years ago, and had no clue where any of the aerodromes was - and then I solved my first one and posted my first challenge, which was identified very quickly :(

Here's the next aerodrome.

Somewhere pretty cold,looking at the covers on the ground and the heaters...Aleutians...?

Yes, it can get cold here, but it isn't in the Aleutians

I'm torn between two possible areas - somewhere in North America or somewhere in China, like Kunming.

Do these help you decide which area?

What about Greenland?

India 42s temptations are correct.

Yet more aircraft types at this location.

Lots of choices in Alaska, but I think, given the plethora of aircraft, this must be one of the bigger ones. My first guess is the first USAAF airfield in Alaska - Elmendorf.

Ah ha, you have picked up on the huge variety of aircraft - I've not seen so many different types at an airfield before. However it isn't Elmendorf.

These people were also there.

Ah ha, I wondered if Russians might be involved! I was looking for Red Stars on the photos you posted.

So is this one of the Northwest Staging Route airfields? Possibly Ladd Army Airfield at Fairbanks?

I thought that the image with the Russians might help, and you have it with Ladd Army Airfield at Fairbanks. Over to you.

My next image would have been aircraft with red stars on them - see not always cold.

Ladd was the cold weather testing airfield - hence the wide variety of aircraft.

This is my favourite image - and would have been the last clue.

It's not winter here:

Are we in Europe? I thought it might be Sion in Switzerland but this is all grass and the railway runs on thw opposite side of the field to the main road.

Well I did suspect that the Swiss flag on the cap was a distraction.

Let us see - v steep river valleys but a lot of development and a railroad - so not S Island New Zealand. Truck (left hand side hallway up) on right hand side of the road. So it's probably the America's. Looks too neat & tidy for C Chile so maybe USA or Canada.

Very steep valleys and big mountains - doesn't look like Appalchia to me - very straight valley - Rocky Mountain eastern side looks possible - but not way out in the sticks - too neat and tidy

Sorry , I meant the Eastern Rockies. It looks a pretty well off area from the picture.

And there's a railroad which should help.

Jamesl, faint Hope of it being a CJ6 - another tandem two-seater.

Asturias, not the Rockies, but west of them. I confess to some legerdemain concerning the flag, to try and put you off the scent!

Hope Regional Airpark?

ea200,

I had to look that up, because I had not heard that name before, but you are correct. I know it just as Hope airfield, home to the Vancouver Soaring Association.

I also discovered something about it that I did not know - 737 grass runway trials!


For Jamesl's benefit, the picture was taken from a Chipmunk back seat and I'm surprised that Asturias didn't pick up on your "Faint Hope" clue. :)

ea200 has control.

Thanks IF2. After being led astray by your flag ploy, I went for the railway line as being the line through Kamloops. Found it fairly easily after that.

Here's a nice bit of architecture.

I42 Brilliant video thanks for sharing

Googling ATC towers shows just how architects let their imaginations run riot (have you seen Edmonton??).

Let's guess at N America?

Not N America. Head East.

Middle East or Far East.....?

I see what you mean about Edmonton. Impressive.

Neither of those Sycamore.

Time for an overhead perhaps

are we in Europe?

has a vaguely E European air to it - all those multi-storey blocks of apartments.

Know what you mean but it's not Europe. Yes, there are plenty of apartment blocks in the new parts of town but also lots of old buildings elsewhere.

Many historical European connections hereabouts.

Not any part of Africa.
