simi_av8r 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 erm, is this Bristol Filton Airport (EGTG) Dai?? Never been there myself, realworld or FS9, but those bridges look awfully similar to the Severn Bridges... Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Well spotted, Simi - I think we'll have to call you Hawk-Eye - like the surgeon in M*A*S*H - and, of course, the hero of J. Fennimore Cooper's 'Last of the Mohicans'. There you go, mate, over to you......... Cheers - Dai. :???: Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Dai, i was kidding, is it seriously Filton?? Wow, what a guess, i had actually thought of it being Cardiff International, but then remembered it has 3-storeys - i went there once for a days spotting trip whilst visiting Snowdonia. I gave the wife the plastic and told her to go shopping for the day at the Duty Free, suited her just as it did me! - so it couldn't have been Cardiff. As for the Hawk Eye comment, im often refereed to as 'Hawk Eye Stevens' at work due to my ability to spot a 4mm screw with a 0.5mm screw head rolling about on the floor, should one of the engineers drop it from their magnetic screw drivers! I'll have a gander around FS9 soon as i can and will post the next one soon after! Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 i see........ it appears that you're all waiting for a clue on this one Well, Excel Airways (now XL.com) do not fly here, i just loved the CS 757 in the livery and if id chosen another it may have given it away...so theres your first clue... as for number two, this destination becomes extremely popular during certain times of year.

simi_av8r 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 hmm, seems this one may have a few of you fellas foxed well and good.

wisemanp 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Therefore i think it's Ivalo Int´l Airport (IVL/EFIV), Finland Airport Data: Ivalo 8km (4miles), Position 68°36´26"N, 027°24´19"E, Elevation 147m (482ft) Airfield Data: 2 Runways Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Phil... you've beaten me this time! :dance: :yes: :dance: :wink: :dance: :yes: I do have to say though, that Mut was very close with 'Lapland International', however as Ivalo isn't referred to, nor called this i couldn't let it go, but it was indeed a valiant effort and oh so close to taking the mince pies and milk!! my next clue would have been... "once a year, this friendly gentleman does a round-the-world dash from this airport. A scrambled F-16 pilot managed to capture took this picture of the fellow on his travels: Congrats Phil, you're up next, were we headed to? Link to post Share on other sites
