mutley 4,487 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 That's odd John, I had already scoured Scotland hence the EG comment, I had come across Perth (Scone) ICAO EGPT? and as usual when looking for airports in this quiz I am not on my FS PC so cannot confirm it visually. I can't see any others that fit the bill if I am wrong perhaps David will find it :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Mut, Perth/Scone it is! Exactly right. Did I say something confusing? Not sure how you can do this without FS. I use the Go To Airport database and the map feature extensively when searching for an airport. Anyway, you have it. I almost choked at your early mention of McDonalds. I'm sure you wouldn't have to look too far in Perth to find that surname, though probably not under the golden arches. Very good work. I think that one was a little more difficult than the Shuttle landing strip. I thought planting one under your noses after KSFO was a good idea. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks John I enjoyed it, I don't think you said anything confusing in retrospect but I got a but confused by the longitude calculation and I think I got a bit hung up on that :mrhappy: .. Though until the narrowing of the latitude range it would have been very difficult! I will think of one today and post it later, Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Here is the next location. The Herc may have had to use this procedure not so long ago. It is an "International" Airport but only has VOR-DME and NDB Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi David, I wouldn't go that far with the cryptic element :mrhappy: Also I said not so long ago as opposed to recent, that's if you consider within the last 50 years not so long ago, that was a bit mis-leading , sorry. I bet they wish they had the herk then :wink: Also, wrong hemisphere (Major clue!!) Link to post Share on other sites

mulletman 0 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 its not the island that they send all the ginger people is it? :mrhappy: The only airport i can think of with 36/18 is Riga in Latvia. But its not becuse that only has termianls on one side, this airport seemingly has them on both. Of course i just had a brainwave. The company that shot that photo...based in IL, USA. So its Miegs Filed, Chicago. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sorry Sam, but is the old Miegs Field a container park now: I can't find it in FSX!! But it's spectacular up close in Google. :!: Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Dai, That's strange, I was just looking at Meigs in FSX to see if I was going to fly one of my ATWC legs in FSX or FS9 and I happened to take some shots :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 A sad, sad thing.... :sadblinky: The domed building just north is the planetarium. Just to the left of that is the aquarium, both big public attractions. John Link to post Share on other sites
