mutley 4,487 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks Ros, my first investigations let me to the Salento peninsula, there's not that many airports there and Taranto rang a bell with previous Italian dance searches. Good clue Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Look very near where an odd-numbered, two-digit isogonic of the "least" crosses an even-numbered line of latitude under the eye of Polaris, in an inhospitable hamlet named for a Knighted Saint's sublimely hospitable isle. Beware that North may not be North, either by the vagaries of nature, or by me. This should separate the groupies from the rock stars. The images probably won't be much of a help except as confirmation once you think you have it. John Link to post Share on other sites
snowingairlines 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Could it possibly be Ruby Airport in AK? Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 No, it's not Ruby airport. John Link to post Share on other sites
snowingairlines 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I guess I read the other airports IACO's wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I pixelated most of the IDs on the map view, just leaving a few characters unedited, as clues... John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 John, It is Indian Mountain LRRS (UTO) - Utopia Creek, Alaska. Saint Thomas Moore being the "Knighted Saint", Utopia being the neologism for his "sublimely hospitable isle", and 66 degress N being the latitude. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bingo, Andrew, Nice job. Correct in every detail. Snowingairlines was close - on the map view I provided, but the wrong airport. John Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 John, The only thing I couldn't quite get was the "isogonic". As an old cartographer (not quite so old), an isogonic can be a contour line or a line of constant magnetic declination (amongst other types) and it was the one thing that eluded me. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's almost on the -19 (East) line of magnetic variation. Using the old "East is least and West is best" mnemonic, it's of the "least" variety, being East, i.e. negative. John Link to post Share on other sites
