I 42. Correct. You have!

Sadly deserted nowadays.

Up for sale as the owner was killed in his 17th flying accident...if you can believe this!

I think I would have given up flying long before having that many accidents!

I was sorting my pictures this morning and came across this unlabelled picture, taken from a 172:

We must have had it before, but I cannot name it.

Does that mean you have no clue yourselves?

Then It seems Sycamore has recognized it and could perhaps fill in some blanks?

I have searched al kind of runways 07-25, but nothing matching up to now.

Roosevelt Roads,..Puerto Rico
Sorry,OH...

Thanks sycamore. We must have had it before, because that is the only reason it would be in my Quiz folder but unfortunately it was not labeled.

It’s Open House.

Try this one - this pic is from a few years back - a lot of development around the airport recently

Red soil and what looks like a Mosque. SE Asia?

is the cigarette a clue? Kretek? ;)

Flap40 26th Jan 2021 14:44

No idea but the first picture looks like it is a screen shot from a flight sim and the second would appear to be backwards if the runway numbers are to be believed.

Asturias56 26th Jan 2021 15:07

I42 - I can't be certain but the probability is fairly high .

Flaps - yes the second is reversed - quite how I have no idea..................... and no it really look like that tho I think it's an old photo - here's a newer one - it's on an island..............

it's on an island..............
I expect most of the 16,671 named-islands in Indonesia don’t have runways, so that narrows down the search a bit.

East or west of Wallace’s line? ;)

Asturias56 27th Jan 2021 08:24

Some folk just can do nothing but complain......................

East of the Wallace line - I've been to his house in Ternate - they've turned it into a small museum

The challenge has a regular air service but not international

Are we in Papua Barat?

Asturias56 28th Jan 2021 15:57

Too far east........................

BSD 28th Jan 2021 16:35

Malaysia perhaps?

Flap40 28th Jan 2021 18:00

I believe it is Soroako in Sulawesi.

OH if correct.

Asturias56 29th Jan 2021 19:12

Congratulations - Soroako it is - rather a nice spot apart from the mine which just keeps growing all round it

Open House has been called!
