To feed this forum should be a valid reason! That would be nice. I have actually driven by both of those airports in the last year. I posted a shot of Telluride, but it was not a closeup as I was in my Jeep up on a mountain overlooking Telluride Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we come to our task: To guess the airfield... - Must have long runways - It should be an Orbx one - Must be the British Airways network So I would guess... Melbourne?

paulk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Lower picture looks like Heathrow (not an Orbx product) so probably not. Top photo looks like an American airport (guessing buy ground equipment). Am I close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From FL350 ? We shall see...we have been having lots of cloud cover in this region as of late. Spring has lots of volatile weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfko Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) A brewery right at an airport? No that's what I call a great combination. In Munich they have got the Air Bräu with a nice beer garden right at EDDM airport. Edited August 21, 2022 by wolfko 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thanks to Rodger - we found the thread - but he made it so easy This is one I found that was taken some years ago - at an airport in the Orbx catalogue where I bought it from - there is an obvious clue in the title It was a Hire aircraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thank you @Rob Abernathy to bring this challenging quest back on the table. As travel starts again, we might see some more here soon... The brewery is easy to be found, but I still wonder which airfield has this brilliant infrastructure. Supply-wise it could be the home airfield of The Mule Team, but they are usually far more north from Redding... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfko Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) I hope it is okay for Rob, if I give you a little hint. The brewery closed down at its orihinal location in Bellingham and reopened again at the airport in question.

wolfko Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I guess there is "San Juan Airlines" written on the wall - then it must be Anacortes.

John Heaton Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Sheesh ---- to easy - especially when 2 of you co-operate - WW famous as the main aircraft transport drome during WW11 - and it looks as if the original Buildings are still there and was in use as a club house in 1977 - the time of the pic A little anecdote about that flight - being only a Aussie pilot and not at all familiar with the regional airways rules - I was just swanning around for a couple of hours ' around the area West of WW - knowing that to the East was Heathrow and Windsor and a one stage at around 2000' - I got a view - directly under the plane - a line of F111 aircraft - I was over the famous American base of Greenham Common - famous for the anti-nuclear demonstrations of the Cold War era I thought afterwards - that if I had had a net full of bricks- I could have done some damage - and the Americans hadn't learned much from the disaster at Wickham Field -Pearl Harbour DEC 6th 1941 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
