Or the Philippines?

Neither Philippines or Indonesia - still a long way away......... but just as warm!

I'm off out to eat before they close down for Covid........

Those turbo props are Air Santa Domingo Let L-410s
I stumbled over the aircraft type because of the large black exhaust areas.

so are we in the Dominican Republic or one of the neighboring islands?

Always a mistake to include any actual aeroplanes on these challenges............................

yes it is indeed in the Dominican Republic

Could not match with google maps but based on this photo:
Samana Portillo?

Yup - Bear has it - the little hut is VERY distinctive - El Portillo Aeropuerto , El Limon, Samana on the N coast of the DR - sadly its been closed for a few years and looks like it's well on it's way to oblivion.

Nice challenge Asturias!
Also because you use your own photos.
The determination of the twin props took me an hour already.
It is sad these little airstrips are closed but if you look at the close surroundings on google maps it is also clear that this could not hold up with current safety requirements.

Now this one
( not my own photograph, but at least not a Google earth image.)

Is there a bonus point for the registration of the SEP at 3 o'clock

Bear - I try and use my own pics when I can but in this case I had to use others - I remember the strip tho from a while back

That plane in the field in your pic looks like it has pancaked in.................. and left a trail behind it......

Always better than rip the photos from Internet
(as I mostly do, apologies for that)

There are no bonus points for the pancaked Single Engine Plane.
But it is basically the only clue.

Italy... ?

Is that a velodrome?

It certainly looks like that.
On this copy-paste from a 360deg view I see the angled sections being built-up.

But not Italy.

Hmmm... so we've just got to find a velodrome at the end of a runway with a swimming pool or tennis court in the middle of it. How hard can that be :ok:

It is a tennis court. But tennis court nor velodrome are mentioned in Google maps.
Concentrate on the pancake, the photo is quite recent (weeks).

Runway markings not UK style; greenhouses are Spanish in style or at least Canaries but it looks too green to be Canaries.

Indeed Spanish influence. But not Spanish territory

Too green for Morocco, so central America perhaps?

Open House.

Congratulations Charlie,

Guaymaral Bogota Columbia it is.

Open House called.

I've been away from this thread for a bit (my appearance at court subsequently took me away for a while) but I see that dook has been banished; which is such a pity, because there was a wealth of old Aerodrome information there.
I wish dook well.
