Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Heya everyone, I am re-making the once famous "Guess the Airport" Screenshot thread that died on this forum many moons ago. I thought it was a great idea, so I'm reopening it here. If you don't know how it works... Someone (me to tsart with) posts a screenshot(s) of a particular Airport in any way they like. He/She may post a few clues along with the screenshot. Once someone has guessed correctly, they themselves repeat this process, and it goes from there. So... To kick off the Competition, here's my first few for this Airport: Clues: - This Airport has both Asphalt and Grass Strips - This Airport has never been involved in any major crash accidents - This Airport is elevated just above 10ft above sea level A bit hard to start with then - I'll post more clues if you guys need . regards, AA Link to post Share on other sites

rob16584 42 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Looking at those textures I would say it is in Australia Link to post Share on other sites

wisemanp 0 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm stuck on this one... Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 A few more clues then: - As Rob correctly said, it is in Australia - You'd be stupid trying to land here in anything bigger than an Early 737 - Whilst still quite a small Airport, Qantas and QantasLink and others still make regular vists here Hope this helps, AA Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ros posted a big clue there, ps don't put any clues (such as FTX) in the file name! I'm off to look but it will have to be a shot from Google Earth as I have no sim on this 'puter. Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ros posted a big clue there, ps don't put any clues (such as FTX) in the file name!I'm off to look but it will have to be a shot from Google Earth as I have no sim on this 'puter. Oh the FTX thing was meant to be a clue . I knew that Country Name must be requried somewhere as going by those clues alone it could be pretty much anything! Lookin' forward to your shots Joe. Google Earth is fine :dance: . Thanks Jack I didn't realise. I have just spun the Google earth globe and come up with a new destination. Taking photo and setting clues now Link to post Share on other sites

Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 First guess is it Quito Airport? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 First guess is it Quito Airport? Jack, we normally include the ICAO so I guess you mean SEQU? It fits at least one clue but maybe the runway is wrong? Also, wrong hemisphere Link to post Share on other sites
