mutley 4,498 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Nice try Simi but not correct, yes it was a clue but not as straight-forward as that Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 A different view. The island on which this airport is situated has a canine connection. (Loosely ) A namesake makes its fortune in the computer biz. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Embraer ERJ-170/175 Oopps - wrong topic! I'm working on somewhere on a European delivery flight, but can't place it yet... Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 RJNO? That blue stripe made me think of Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well done Marcel, RNJO it is! Embraer house colours but looks like ANA livery. Other clues given: Rwy 07/25 (Land of the) Rising sun. Canine connection: Dōgo Island Namesame = Oki (Printers) Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks Joe. Clue: It's cold! (The aircraft is also a clue, albeit a round-about one.) Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Second clue: The nearby hamlet is named after a ship that was specially outfitted for a particular kind of dangerous and difficult activity. The airport shares the first part of its name with the hamlet, but its full name with a waterway. Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Okay; third clue. A major expansion of this airport is being considered, to turn it into a base for arctic operations. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cheers Marcel, I have been looking and have a couple of ideas but hoping someone else will try too Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Arctic Bay Airport, CJX7 ? Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I can see why Rb's confused... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Arctic Bay Airport, CJX7 ? Right county, region and second word. All you need now is the bit in front of the Bay. Be steadfast! (Another clue) Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 CYRB Resoluet Bay? EDIT: I meant Resolute... It looks like Dai was onto it and keeping mum. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Go for it, John. It's time for one of your specials... And Thanks, Marcel, your clues opened up the North West Passage - very interesting history. Even the 1942 expedition took 18 months - Ouch! Cheers - Dai. P.S. Maybe Microsoft will learn to spell, sometime - Artic Bay, Ha! Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Resolute Bay Airport it is: located near the hamlet of Resolute as well as the waterway of Resolute Bay; Resolute is named after HMS Resolute, a barque converted for arctic exploration duty; the RCAF are considering using it as an artic...I mean arctic, base, and steadfast - a silly clue I know - is a synonym for resolute. As for the aircraft; the PC-6 is rough-field kind of aircraft, and the runway surface is gravel. Over to you, John. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 OK, working on it... John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 You may find this one easy if you own an old copy of F-19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose. I first became aware of the existance of this military airfield while using that program a long, long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Could it be LICZ Sigonella Airbase in Italy? Link to post Share on other sites
