rob16584 42 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 A little hint. This airport's name-sake was once the leader of a UK Political Party Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 VNKT? The mountains look familiar. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Weyhey, well done. I was beginning to think i needed to post another clue (null) Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 A little hint. This airport's name-sake was once the leader of a UK Political Party Is the clue an anagram, Rob? VNKT = Tribhuvan International Airport at Kathmandu, Nepal. I'm confused (No change there, then! - Ed). Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm pretty confused too. Who? Where? John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks Rob. Okay, here's the new one. Clue: What do Henrietta (a character from the anime, Gunslinger Girl), Star W\rs and motor racing have in common? (And ignore that bit in the lower right corner. That was Picasa popping up at the precise time I took the shot.) Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Kathmandu airport - Cat Mandu was the leader of the monster raving looney party. Is that a bit too obscure? Link to post Share on other sites

CSoul 182 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Second clue: look at season 1 of Gunslinger Girl, the planet Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith, and former World Superbike racing circuits. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Aha, got it - LICC, Fontanarossa, Catania Italy. John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 That's the one. Over to you John. As for the clues: Henrietta spends some time laying low in Sicily; Mount Etna provided the volcanic imagery for Mustafar; and Sicily plays host to Enna Pergusa, a racing circuit formerly used by SBK.

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Pretty good clues. It took some digging to tie them together... John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Dang! I missed that one Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 This was an ATWC stop, but I'm not saying just yet which of the three ATWC events it was part of. Air France, British Airways and El Al fly here, but no US passenger airlines serve this airport. DHL and Kalita Air, both US companies, do provide cargo service here, but do not offer direct connections to the US. This is a stock FSX airport - no add-on scenery. Link to post Share on other sites
Clem Wu 1 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 No, that's not the one. John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 There are two parallel runways. If you look carefully you can see the runway lights of the other one at the right edge of the third screenshot. The associated city is the headquarters of one of the larger aircraft companies in the world, though no manufacturing is done at this particular airport. John Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 May I have a guess? I think (and I may be wrong as I haven’t been able to fire up FS to check) that it is Kiev, Boryspil Airport UKBB. http://en.wikipedia....ational_Airport But that is a guess. According to wikipedia it fits with the clues...no US airlines, 2 parallel runways, and Kiev is home to Antonov, which are manufacturerd in Kharkiv (Ukraine), Novosibirsk (Russia), and Tashkent (Uzbekistan). (By the way, please excuse my messy profile/signature...havent quite got it all sorted yet.) Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Dead on, Mulletman. Haven't seen you in these parts in a while. Welcome back. Spot on with all the clues, and it was a stop on the ATWC I tour. It's your turn... John Link to post Share on other sites
