CSoul 182 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks brett. And before I forget. In my previous submission, I said that the clouds were a clue, if you thought of them as something else. That was a reference to the veldfires that are common on the Highveld in winter. Here's the new one: Clue: The county within which this airport is located, as well as the county seat, shares a name with a Johannesburg suburb. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Top Answer! Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 2nd clue: This should help you find the area you're looking for and once you find that, you should find the airport. Though this is a screenshot from a game, the car exists in real life, as does the driver, as does the rally. Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 3rd clue: 1) The airport also shares part of its name with the aforementioned suburb. 2) This rally is not a current nor past WRC rally. And the rally's name does not contain the name you are looking for (based on my research). Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 What about Peoria Intl Airport (KPIA)? Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 You're close. Right country, but you want to go further north. 4th clue: The Johannesburg suburb you are looking for is a wealthy one and home to Nelson Mandela. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 mmm... KCMX? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 That's the one. All yours Dai. As for the clues: Houghton is Joburg suburb, and Houghton is a county of Michigan, of which the county seat is Houghton, and the airport is Houghton County Memorial Airport. The rally car is Ken Block's Ford Fiesta rally car, with which he competed in the Lake Superior Rally, held in the Houghton area, as part of Rally America (which is not a WRC event). Taking the screenshot from Dirt3 is also a clue, as one of the areas is Michigan, the others being Finland, Norway and Kenya, none of which look the same, in-game, as Michigan.

ddavid 149 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Followed the intersection of Nelson Mandela's home with "Right country, but you want to go further north", and got Houghton Memorial. As Newton said: "Standing on the shoulders of giants"... Next one up soon. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Sorry about the delay - but here's the first clue: Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm going to go with KHLR, Hood AAF, in Ft. Hood, Texas. It's not a perfect match but one of the clues fits and there's one fairly unique feature that seems to be there. Not stock scenery? John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 John - right hemisphere, wrong planet continent! The helicopter is a clue: However, there is an old Iroquois here as well... C'mon Lads and Lasses - let's hear your guesses! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I think you all got there - eventually! Well Done. But as James actually names the old airfield, I guess the honour goes to him... Over to you, Jaydor! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thank you Dai, "Clue": By a sandy shore I should say no more, the air is dry as I look to the sky Is it a pilgramage to an inland sea, it's between there and an Indian tea. Used photobucket Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Where you all too? The clues are all there and the country of origin is is printed in black. "Although I prefer salton my chips and not in the sea" That's maybe another clue that's coming from me.. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Aha! Looks like it's 63CA, Desert Air Sky Ranch, North Shore, California, hard by the Salton Sea. You sly dog - I spent hours searching all the Saudi coastline last night.... John Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 :thum: Good navigating John, Yes, I knew the pilgramige would put people fellow simmers on that track along with the Indian tea. You are correct, it is Desert Air Sky Ranch North Shore between, Mecca (Pilgrimage) and Bombay Beach (Indian tea) on the banks of Salton Sea (inland) California So you win 4 empty XXXX cans and your go to fox us.. :D That's Pilgrims progress for you..
