mike H 456 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 My guess is that it is Orio al Serio International Airport, Bergamo, Italy (LIME, BGY) RB Yes I think you are spot on Matey. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 My guess is that it is Orio al Serio International Airport, Bergamo, Italy (LIME, BGY) Yes! Oreos (Different spelling but still a homophone...) are the biscuit made by a subsidiary of Kraft. 'Take the noun that, in its native language, could be the Matterhorn, Eiger or Jungfrau. This is the first part of the airport name.' There are all mountains... in German the noun is Berg. Orio Al Serio is also known as Bergamo It is generally the 3rd airport for Milan. Over to you!

RB16015 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't have much hints with it but here comes. This aiport has an elevation of 55ft and a runway of 8530ft x 98ft GOOD LUCK!!! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 That's a mean choice Ray! At first I thought it was a relief flight into somewhere near Haiti but couldn't get an airport to match so I am going for Pointe Noire FCPP in the Congo. Still couldn't match up the runway dimensions, are the dimensions from flight sim? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
RB16015 0 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Damn... Your good Joe I took this photo myself when I was down there 2 years ago. First I took a look at airliners.net for any comparison shots but there were none. So I thougt this is going to be hard. And about the dimensions: http://acc-u-nav.net/AirportInfoInt.aspx?ICAO=FCPP Link to post Share on other sites
