Looks ex USAAF from the diamond shaped dispersals. |
South Africa? Fruit growing country? |
Further down the boot then? Southern Italy?
|
Does the fruit growing reference apply to vines ?
|
I'm wondering if we should go NE of Italy.
|
Possibly the USA then.
|
Cryptic.
Initially thought Bora Bora but it can't be. |
New Zuland ?
|
|
I’m obviously a bit dopey, what we’re all the boot references about? :ugh: |
What sid said!
|
Thank you. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

No swimming pools. Not a tourist town. Livestock roam freely, sometimes even on the airfield.
|
No idea where it is evansb but I love the glide approach. Full flap, idle power and Vref+5 will put you right on the numbers.
|
Caribbean possibly, quite likely wrong, but I was spot on first time with Jenkins far flung airfield!
|
According to the runway markings, no instrument approach on 24.
Bern was like that, and served by '146s, but it's not Bern. |
Not the Caribbean. Initial photo on final for runway 06, which is just over 4,000 feet long. Due to terrain, most departures are off runway 24. Ramp shot below:

A Southeast Asia vibe... Indonesia perhaps?
|
Not Indonesia, but yes, somewhere in Southeast Asia.
|
JENKINS is correct. It is indeed Basco (IATA: BSO, ICAO: RPUO), an airport serving the island province of Batanes in the Philippines. On December 8, 1941, it was the launch airfield for the Japanese to bomb Clark Field at Manila.
Your turn. |
