wolfko Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 3 hours ago, boetie said: I thought the UK was no longer in Europe or is that no longer in the EU? Â Yes, but the British Isles geographically belong to Europe. Just like Switzerland and Norway, which are also not part of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Courcheval has a paved runway, so it isn't there. The vegetation gives a hint that it is in a warmer climate. If it is where I think it is, it is not currently a MSFS airport, so think P3D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks Gerold. It's getting difficult to make it challenging, the forum members have eagles eyes. I have a couple of shots from the last few years which I'll try and crop to make identification not obvious. It'll be a few days until I can sit in front of my PC. Standby.

vanderlay Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I’m not entering into this except to say I think there was a railway nearby, and also concrete around in the form of a couple of large water tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yes Paul. Coffs indeed. Wifey and I went down there a few weeks ago (can't believe it's only a 3hr drive, why haven't we done this before?) and stayed in the Coffs hinterland. What a beautiful part of the world!
