Rob Abernathy Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Thanks Paul, it really is a work of art. I think I've exhausted my personal pictures of Orbx airports. I had quite a few from the PNW. Time for another trip up North! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I have compared OrbxDirect with my photo archive and found this one, not nearly as beautifully designed as Vancouver, but a brilliant place to travel.

paulk Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think I may know this one, the airport may not be as beautiful but if I am correct the location where it is can be considered a beautiful wonder. To be sure let me ask if this airport is in Australia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Looks like we need a new photo. Here is a photo I took a few months ago. I'll post a slightly more obvious photo if nobody gets this one. Hint: It is not in Australia! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I don't want to give too many specific hints, but it is in North America. The Orbx airport scenery also contains most of the things visible in the photo, apart from the huge snow pile! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulk Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Ooooo this is a good one. Since there is a lot of snow and it’s in North America I’m going to guess the obvious and say Aspen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) That big pile of snow is getting in the way, I need to see more of the landscape Matt! I have an inkling but I see no school buses. Edited April 22, 2023 by boetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 A brilliant shot, Matt. Covering most of what we may know... I am quite sure it is not Palm Springs. From the snow amount it could be many NA places of the last hard winter, but I´ll try to narrow it down: Is that snow pile from Alaska, maybe even Yakutat?

paulk Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I tried for ages and just couldn't get it, also wish to apologies as I said Aspen (of which Orbx don't sell 🙃). But I think Rob has it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: If nobody had gotten it by this morning, I was going to add this second photo of McCall. Edit 2: The main reason I stopped in McCall that day was to see if I could get a couple detail photos of the Air Tanker information signs in the little park next to the fence. I didn't have snow shoes that day and decided to give it a go when there is less snow! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I almost had a picture of Monroe First Air but realized too late that I had my daughter drive right onto the run up area at the end of the runway. Wondered why this lady in a nearby house was waving a yellow flag and yelling at us. Looked up and a C172 was on short final! We hauled a__ out of there and the pilot got to practice an emergency go around. Didn't have time to snap a pic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents used to live in a neighborhood just up the hill and I drove right by it all the time. An instance of taking for granted the things you see regularly! You probably gave the C172 pilot a story to tell their friends! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
