Should I Trier little harder? :rolleyes:

Aviate - Errrr - yes please - :E Are you able to be a little more precise - It fooled me for a while and I had do some serious looking that I would not wish to give away too easily. LFH

PS anyone want to say how many aircraft involved in the picture ? As opposed to the number shown in the formal public title.

LFH,

I think aviate1138 has been drinking too much Moselle. ;)

Never mind the number of aircraft. What's the swept-wing job on the grass?

at a guess - MiG-15 ? Korean war trophy or 'come-over' perhaps ? The photos dated about 1955.

Wiki says

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Base_1955.jpg

16 aircraft + photo aircraft

That's what I thought to start with AV8 - To be fair - you're probably close enough for Govt work but there are two Triers - twelve miles apart - this one and the other one :E Can you identify the correct one ?


Well done :ok:- plus the ? MiG

The original Trier- Euren as Trier - Fohren began operating in 1977?

You got it AV8 - Well done - you have control.

WWI, WWII and then ALG Y-57 etc Down-town Trier.

Now an industrial estate - you can just make out the old runway along Hanns-Martin Schleyer Str.

Thanks LFH it has to be OPEN HOUSE.

BTW I notice the French Air Force were also based at Trier and I wonder if the swept wing fighter on the ground may be French?

Yes, it certainly does look like an early Dassault Mystere, much more probable than a Mig 15...

I wouldn't argue with that, much more logical. Got NK on the mind. Thank-you both.

Open House ? - try this - LFH

Unmistakable skyline.

Looks like Dallas.

This is the only Dallas skyline I know -

http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1361107387

Dallas it is - but which field - of many ? LFH

With that water in the foreground - maybe Dallas Love Field?

Open House if correct.

Sorry chaps - out to lunch.

Dallas Love Field it is - 13R over Bachmann Lake

Nvubu had it for precision but said OH.

LM pointed us to the ball park - so I say -

Lightning Mate has control.

No need for a question mark there, it is Love Field, as I've seen that view thousands of times.

A lot of Southwest rubber in the touchdown zone ;)

Good morning/evening.

Busy, so OH please.

Still Open House ?

Here's one for the Old Timers - LFH

http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1360886965

Early Curtiss flying boats with Boy Scout hangars.

East coast US?

You're right - US Navy Florida.

Not East Coast - don't know about Curtiss - Florida's a big state - with lotsa water. - is it fresh or salty ? LFH

Well, I thought it was Pensacola.

LM, You thunk right. ;)

I guess it's a moot point whether Pensacola is on the East or South Coast.

NAS Pensacola 1914 - 99 years old!

Several Curtiss Model Fs and two Model Es. One of those is probably the first USN aircraft, serial A1.

.........:)

Pensacola it is - Well done. Apparently 1916. On what I believe is generally referred to as "the Gulf Coast."

I42 - A1 ? Is that a knowledgeable presumption or are you able to say which one is so marked ? If the latter, did you get it from another pic or from sharpening this one ?

I suspect the view below (1918) is in the opposite direction but possibly taken from around the same spot.

Lightning Mate has control.

LFH,

I missed a hyphen. See here:
Curtiss Model E - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps103c4306.png

Perhaps the second aircraft in your picture?

I've just found this marvellous video of a replica flying:

From what I've read and looking at the pictures, the original A-1 was " a headless E" in that it didn't have the canard foreplane, unlike the replica.

Thankyou Ifor.

Judging by the dates in your reference, the date of 1916 for my challenge might arguably be a bit off the mark. Saving the video for later. LFH

Open House again I'm afraid. :uhoh:

Open House? Not that I think this will last long:-

Mel,

I saw this one the other day and thought, that would be a good one for What Aerodrome, but I can't remember the name!

Somewhere in the mid-west, judging by the section-line roads. Naval, I think.

I42 not MidWest more westerly than that I would say and was not a Naval air Field. At the time the photograph was taken it was an Army Air Field.

There's an awful lot of aircraft parked up - best guess sofar is Kingman Arizona, but I'm not convinced. LFH

Not Kingman Arizona LFH. This one was further North and Westward.

Morning Mel.

Might it be Oregon?

Morning David. Not Oregon. This airfield is a bit further north.

Can only be Washington then.

I have open in front of me a database of all WW2 army air bases and nothing has come up for Washington.

Going back for a further look....

Is it Walla Walla ?

It is in Washington State but not Walla Walla. The airfield has a different name to the one it had when the photograph was taken.

I see the "sticky" listing What cockpit, which Aerodrome etc has been removed.
