fighterpilot 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I think it is Honokaa airstrip in pearl harbour (HI05) Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 dont know what the airport is named but it is pearl harbour. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Honokaa is on a different island, but you're in the right neighborhood with Pearl Harbor. Dig up the name or the ICAO code and it's yours. John Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ford Island NALF (NPS) hope thats one is right. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Exactly right! Nice work! I thought the clues about Missouri, Utah and Arizona would have everyone digging around on the US Gulf Coast for a day or so. I was referring to the battleships, not the states. All three are at Ford Island - the Missouri intact, the other two as wrecks (and monuments). Obviously that didn't fool you. Your turn... John Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 hehe, I have flown very much at honolulu and I recognize it very much, will take some shots later, must finish my flight from LHR to JFK first, and I have seen the movie Pearl Harbor pretty much :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ford Island was pretty much ground zero for the Pearl Harbor attack. Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I reckon it could be RAF Marham EGYM in Norfolk home to Tornado GR4's? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 correct mut! nice work, your turn :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: You can't keep a good dog down!! Thanks Marcus, here is the next, hopefully not as "easy" as the last one! 2 shots from default FS plus one from an addon scenery shot if it helps. Clues: Military. The airfield is about 1 mile asl. There is a new runway longer than the one seen here but not modelled in any sim or Google Earth as it is probably classified or too new! It wasn't completed until about 18 months ago but can take a 747 or similar. Most people should have heard of this airfield as it is often in the news. Good luck, another clue tomorrow if no answers :eyebrow: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 OK more clues Located next to an ancient city. It has a well known detention centre. C-5 Galaxy & C-17 Globemaster III would land here. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 So, here we are, waiting for the sun to rise and our breakfast to digest..... It's pretty bleak, here in FSX - no second runway yet...... But the farmers' market is thriving (according to Google, anyway)...... Cheers - Dai. BTW - it was Pam what suggested the answer!!

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm pretty sure I have it, but will defer to the Welsh Wizard. I'm PM'ing my guess to Mutley, just to get on the record. The ICAO code has a lot of vowels. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi John, You are correct as I am sure Dai is too looking at the filename of his screenshot Hopefully Dai should be on this morning and have another airfield to post? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
