NO WAY!
Ambon - my least favourite airport in Indonesia - horrible , gusty winds on approach and the town always feels as if violence is likely to happen at any time.............. Go west!! |

Right Island - wrong Airport

Sultan Iskandar Muda has the same seats but the other clues are not confirmed.
|
Not Banda Aceh
The challenge is named after another national hero - but later than the esteemed Sultan |
Bandar Udara Internasional Sultan Syarif Kasim II?
|
Closer - both in time (of the patriot) and location - but not Pekanbaru. Here's a navaid to help. It's not a terribly busy spot TBH

I think Bengkulu Fatmawati Soekarno.
|
That might be the lady who , amongst other things, made the actual flag that was hoisted on 17th August 1945. She was a Benkulu lass................

not too far off 24 hours - Bear has it with Bengkulu :ok:
It was due to be upgraded significantly I believe but I haven't heard if they've finished it Oddly the area remained in the hands of the British for 140 years until as late as 1824 - when it was swapped for Malacca |
Thanks!
Now this, not a regular but still an airfield. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1d5582c19.jpeg |
Interesting - looks like a big distribution centre
Are those dead fuselages left centre? Possibly Helicopters? Europe? |
What makes you think of Europe in this photo?

Indeed USA

"The baseball field doesn’t" there are baseball fields in Europe - especially around some old US airfields - and these days you even see soccA pitches in the USA - the world changes...............
Back to the challenge - East of the Rockies? |
Indeed the world changes. Once synonymous for British conlonial you have nowadays Chicago White socks as well…
But East of the Rockies https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4968a6865.jpeg |
Perkasie Heliport, Pennsylvania
The KLM Helicopters and NZ(O, then G then C) led me to https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/786 My question is: how the hell did it end up there if it crashed into the North Sea??? |
from teh same link you quoted
"…their boneyard, a valuable source of repurposed parts, contain relics with stories. Way too many to list. But here are two. The remains of Sikorsky S-61N PH-NZC- flying to a North Sea oil rig, one rotor blade failed due to corrosion. All 6 crew lost May 1974. " I'd guess that bits for an S-61 were more likely to be (re-) used in the USA than in Europe. |
