Chevvron - point taken, although I meant unique to this country. Cheers.

For the challenge, it looks like we're on an island and the field doesn't look like it's used very much, if at all.

Brava, Cape Verde.

Correct. Over to you.

dook 5th Dec 2018 14:23

Thank you. Do you work nights ?

Paris CDG whilst still under construction?

dook 5th Dec 2018 14:50

The opposite. Decommissioned.

Not France.

Greenman Condom? Just a guess, since I feel I might need to look under the Maple Leaf.

dook 5th Dec 2018 15:39

Ahhh - Greenham. Guess who won the Embassy International aerobatic trophy there in 1976.

Unfortunately it isn't there and don't look under the maple leaf, although that is much closer.

Yet again a brownie from dook.
Is that four of the quartet?
Is this brown from the old photo
so decommissioned long time ago?
or is this genuine brown earth?

dook 5th Dec 2018 15:44

There's very little colour in the original. Decommissioned in 1995 and the new one is nearby.

edit: the soil is mostly clay.

May I help further ?

Denver/Stapleton, Denver, Colorado?

dook 5th Dec 2018 16:11

Give that man a cigar and a bat for the next ball.

evansb 5th Dec 2018 16:19

Thank you. Last I flew in to Denver/Stapleton was in late summer of 1969 on a high-time Braniff 707-120 from San Antonio TX with a stop at DFW. Departed Denver/Stapleton the same day on a near new Western Airlines 727 to Seattle.


Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

I hope that was intended as humour – if not it's a surprisingly uninformed comment from someone with an ATC background…

Are we in Canada, evansb?

dook 5th Dec 2018 16:32

Can't see the runway direction unfortunately.

Is the photo orientated to north ?

evansb 5th Dec 2018 16:39

Not Canada. Photo orientation looking south, so runway orientation is NW-SE.

dook 5th Dec 2018 16:40

I have identified the airline of the turboprop - quite distinctive. That should narrow it down.

France ?

dook 5th Dec 2018 16:56

Not France, but it's Air Austral.

Tried their hub which is Reunion.
