B77W 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Initially I thought LOWW from the runway layout, but then realized... The terminal looks nothing like that and Vienna is a bit greener! D'oh! Link to post Share on other sites

wisemanp 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Ataturk Airport (LTBA), Turkey (Serves Istanbul which is not the capital...)? Link to post Share on other sites
RB16015 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 And we have a winner... Sorry Joe, but wisemanp is right Ankara is the capital of Turkey. Instanbul is the biggest city of Turkey Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Are we sure that Ataturk is right? The runway lengths definitely do not add up to anything near 17,389ft. The combined length of Ataturk's runways are well over 25,000ft Link to post Share on other sites

But the clues don't! Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Guy's I am sure you are right with Ataturk. (a) The airport layout looks right. (B) The runways total length of 17389ft. matches. if you look closely on google, runway 36R-18L has a large X both ends so must be closed to traffic. So if you add the other two active runways together the total comes to 17389ft. © Ankara is about 225 miles away as the crow :dance: flies. So could be called close by!!! Joe me thinks you have been abit Cheeky with this one. :winka: Nice One Matey. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Phil, you are right! Apologies for the "Herring Rouge" about the capital. I think the total runway length is correct, the figure is based on FSX values. The airport is named after the countries founder - Mustafa Kemal Atat Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think there's something Freudian about your 'Ottoman' - remember this, from your youth..... A bear, however hard he tries, Grows tubby without exercise. Our Teddy Bear is short and fat, Which is not to be wondered at; He gets what exercise he can By falling off the ottoman, But generally seems to lack The energy to clamber back........ Reminds me of something..... (gentle snoring). Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Are you likening me to the same proportions as Winnie The Pooh?! Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Of course not, but I think the King of France came into the poem somewhere! ..... One night it happened that he took A peep at an old picture-book, Wherein he came across by chance The picture of a King of France (A stoutish man) and, down below, These words: "King Louis So and So, Nicknamed 'The Handsome!'" There he sat, And (think of it!) the man was fat! ... And, yes, I am a Pooh fan, too. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
