Kilstorm Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 basically its an airstrip in Oz as its not one of the actual addon fields but what seems to be one that might of been revamped in Ozv2. With him not coming back until Monday, I chimed in to keep the game rolling with my offering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 OK, if it is no payware, I would initially guess: Lady Elliott Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusterman Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The correct answer. Home of the west coast facility of Zenith Aircraft Company. I was at one of their open houses when the photos were taken. Thought the photo of the Zenith might provide a clue. If I had used a photo inside their hanger it would have been obvious to anyone who likes their aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.D Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 OK, I'm back, got in late Sunday night. Yes, it is Lady Elliot Island, part of the new Australia v2, which is, I believe is payware. I'll have a scratch around and see what else I have, but unfortunately, I did most of my flying, before retirement, on the east coast of the US. BTW, a good fun thread !

When you went up there in 1977, I was living in those exact mountains, about a 30 minute drive from the top of the tram.

Chris.D Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I had a great friend, who has since passed on, who lived at Rancho Mirage. It was about 105 degrees in Palm Springs, so we caught the tramway and played in the snow at the top. Got 35mm slides somewhere, must pull them out and scan them. Great times.
