It doesn't rhyme with "dook" and it's not in Greenland.

In the Artic though?

dook 14th Oct 2018 19:56

Within the arctic circle yes.

Sorry,
Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport
May they fly in peace in the highest Flight Level.

I was scanning the coast of Alaska, Nome etc.
Then I thought it handy to look were the artic circle actually was.
Much farther North.
I looked at Prudhoe Bay and Barrow was the second.

New challenge
The most welcoming place i have encountered.

PORT was a good clue.

Port Harcourt.

Port Hacourt it is.
The photos are not my own, as I arrived at 22:45 local (somewhere 2014)
I learned from internet that at least until 2017 the situation had not improved although it looks like they have installed a new arrivals tent.
At least they maintained the Port Health desk ($ 10) and the old airco’s (in a tent!).
after spending 1,5 hours with 300 fellow passengers in that tent waiting on my luggage I had lost some pounds and another $100 to get my laptop through customs.

The departures terminal was brand new at that time.
Since then the international contractor has left 24 containers with unused materials on the airport; have left themselves and have been paid in full.

Only in Nigeria

Dook the stage is yours

Looks like taxiways leading to a cliff for underground aircraft storage.
There was a plan to do this at Ta Qali but it was found to be impractical, so I'd guess it was the 'secret' airbase somewhere north of Groom Lake where Bob Lazar was briefly employed.
He maintained we was flown from Vegas to Groom Lake by one of the Janet flights, then was transported further into the desert in a bus with blacked out windows, to where he was employed on 'back engineering' flying saucers using 'compartmented information'.

dook 15th Oct 2018 18:56

To the best of my knowledge there is no underground aircraft storage at this airfield.

edit: not USA

Looks like the taxiways ending in trees rather than a cliff. Might be a bunker with trees planten on them?

Might the blue roofs lead us somewhere?
mostly used in Asia?

SLB

dook 15th Oct 2018 19:32

I don't think there is anything significant in the blue roofs. Asia.

Look closely at the ramp area at the right end of the runway.

Helispots especially for me?
multiple spots says offshore base!

dook 15th Oct 2018 20:28

Military aeroplanes and not offshore.
