How on earth you post a minute before I. We must find these at the same time. Should I sit in a Faraday cage to prevent you learning what I do skwinty? Or just learn posting faster?

Oman Salalah Airport, which goes to skwinty.

StressFree 7th Sep 2011 12:59

Yes its Salalah, Oman. I've got some others of remote Oman strips I've been into, can't find them at present but will post another time.

Over to you.

skwinty 7th Sep 2011 13:07

Try this one.

RegDep 7th Sep 2011 13:12

Been in the country but the other (at the time) airport, so I leave this to others.

sabredog 7th Sep 2011 16:23

Matekane Airport , Lesotho.

skwinty 7th Sep 2011 16:27

sabredog has control:ok:

sabredog 7th Sep 2011 18:52

Thank you,Skwinty, and my apologies for the delay in responding.
It is still;
Open House.

StressFree 8th Sep 2011 07:10

Hi Stressfree is it Seeb International?

StressFree 8th Sep 2011 15:56

Skwinty, no sir its not Seeb.

Clue - its a big runway for a fairly small place..........

StressFree 8th Sep 2011 18:49

Folks, I can't monitor this for a few days so I'll have to reveal the photo, its of Sfax in southern Tunisia..............

In all honesty would anyone have got it? There were few clues..............

RegDep 8th Sep 2011 19:35

Not me, not in a short time, anyhow. Although the houses were not typical for "regular oil producing places" :rolleyes:.

skwinty 8th Sep 2011 19:41

I would only started looking at Africa after I had looked at all the Oman airfields.:*:)

I took your earlier post about Oman seriously.:8

Airhopper 9th Sep 2011 15:50

I believe it is open house so here is one which does not appear to have been posted before.

jindabyne 10th Sep 2011 11:35

PNG possibly?

Makamba 10th Sep 2011 20:01

Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles?

Russell Gulch 10th Sep 2011 20:13

This end of the runway looks extended, and with the embankment, reminds me of a memory of a recollection of a thought of an overrun accident, but I struggle to recall any more.

Airhopper 10th Sep 2011 22:18

It's very remote.

KeMac 11th Sep 2011 10:52

Easter Island

Airhopper 11th Sep 2011 19:50

Correct - you have it

KeMac 11th Sep 2011 22:27

Thank you Airhopper - I will have to declare open house. I only recognised it because I am thinking of taking a holiday there and was looking at it on Google earth

jindabyne 12th Sep 2011 11:07

Here goes

Is there a losing interest in this thread? 7 posts in 72 hours ----

KeMac 12th Sep 2011 20:30

jindabyne, you may be right - I always have a look when I am on the PC but Easter Island was the first I have recognised in a long time!

jindabyne 12th Sep 2011 21:15

KeMac

Out of polite interest, what sparks the holiday interest in EA?

TheChitterneFlyer 13th Sep 2011 06:31

Long shot... Could this be Plockton (Scotland) when it was a grass airfield?

jindabyne 13th Sep 2011 08:41

TCF

Sorry, not Plockton. A world away ----

I suggest that there is plenty of interest but when a challenge is obviously stalled, I imagine that perhaps there would be more responses if more clues (visual or otherwise) were provided.

jindabyne 13th Sep 2011 13:25

Southern Hemisphere! Not Oz ----

descol 13th Sep 2011 13:37

Could be any of the many strips in PNG ?

jindabyne 13th Sep 2011 13:51

Quite so drescol

descol 13th Sep 2011 14:14

I thought so- spent many years there - its Omkalai in the highlands

jindabyne 13th Sep 2011 14:57

Certainly is --

Over to you

descol 13th Sep 2011 22:13

PNG is and was a particlar place for aviators as well as many non
aviators

By the way , I would hope there is continued interest in this enjoyable and informative thread
