Getting ever more tedious here - let's see challenges that are not simply vertical aerial shots (anyone can do that), but oblique, with challenging subjects. But then I'm probably out of order---

I agree with your last sentence

Is this more to your taste?

That's being silly!

It's the same place

You're right, but where's this?

To quote from the very first post in the What Aerodrome Thread

So I guess my challenge needs to be completed first, before going to your "but oblique, with challenging subjects" image

A clue for you - the second photo was taken on 19th May 1980, and the clouds are a further clue.

OK - iawtr, I'll rescind Post 3325, but as for 3322----

A photo? Or a negative? Why?

Stand to be corrected though

I know where your's is Cuefaye (it was allegedly the place to avoid when you were trying to go somewhere else) but I'm still working on Nvubu's nasty bit of weather - someone hunting hurricanes ? LFH

Cumulo-mamatus.

Central US. Former military installation.

C2j

I agree with C2j. That's got to be in Tornado Alley. :eek:

Edited to try to narrow it down - North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas?

cuefaye,

Nothing wrong with vertical shots as far as I am concerned.

The clouds are nothing to do with the "weather", but very much the result of an earth bound event.

North Texas or Oklahoma or Kansas are on the wrong side of the country.

And yes, it was a former military base - B17 training.

Since they are central US, how can they be on "the wrong side of the country". :uhoh:

My apology, not central, try the edges.

edit - too far south and too far east.

Clouds could be the result of an above ground atom bomb test, or maybe a photo montage for a film ie a water based effect.

Clouds are the result of a natural event - the date being the clue.

New Mexico or Arizona?

edit:

Was that a volcanic eruption?

Well, the only thing that has happened like that is the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Sooo... Washington State or Oregon...

C2j

Mt. St. Helens eruption & Washington State are both correct.

Ephrata Municipal, WA.

OH if correct.

P.S. FWIW I don't have any objection to vertical air shots. It's all good...

nacluv has it - Open House has been declared

Thanks, nvubu.

Actually I feel a little guilty about declaring open house, so I'll fix that straight away. I don't think this one has been done before:

Far too easy mate - try another?

edit: "Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields"

OK - final offer for today:

Your previous one was Leone was it not?
This one is just as easy.

Looks like Bohle River, Australia.

Correct - humble apologies for not mounting a suitably challenging challenge...

Shouldn't this all get back on track? I know I was out of order, but c'mon.

Probably why sabredog slung his hook

I thought they were both pretty good challenges Vulcan - I'd still be looking. LFH

nacluv,

Me too. You have to remember that WIWOL's know everything, or at least they claim to! ;)

Surely it is on track. Why did you say that?

sabredog was so good that some of us thought he was a hacker. It was a complement. He didn't see it that way. He left in disgust of our suspicions.

I'm more interested in cuefayes' last post:

I assume cuefaye is pissed off because he posted out of order and we didn't use his challenge.

Stick to the rules mate.

Pyote AAF base, Texas ?

Pecos Texas? If that is different from Pyote AAF as suggested by Evansb.

evansb has it. :ok:

Your turn.

Thank you. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

USA - high altitude?

Correct, and correct. Elev: over 4,000' above sea level.

I'm sure that sabredog would have got the latest challenge in his customary 12 or so minutes.......;)
