VH-KDK Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks for reminding me Gerold, I had completely forgotten. As we flew in over the airport this is the best snap I could find. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hmmm, probably too many RFDS bases around - is there another hint required? OK: It is freeware, but I would love to pay for an updated version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If that's freeware - it's very good - but not much of a clue - since all my airports are Orbx  Yes there are many FDS bases - but this looks so posh - it might be Charleville - but then again it might be Cloncurry ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) This is quite possibly the most amazing thread ever on these forums... wow.  I am trying to think of any Orbx fields that I've been to - grew up near many and have driven right past at least a dozen of them... but actually having visited them... hmmm. Probably just KMRY I guess. Took a few lessons there at Navy Flying Club on the north ramp. But sadly, no photos to prove it (it was back in 1988), just amazing memories.  Wait - San Diego!! In 1987 I actually took a flight that originated and terminated at Orbx airports! KSAN - KMRY! well, no maybe I changed planes at LAX.... getting old, guys!  And YMML Melbin… I did get down that way once. Another amazing memory - driving on the other side of the road for a week, that was worth the ticket alone.  Edited May 25, 2020 by Ripcord 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Wow, that is hard, Ben. Nothing to recognize for me, but at least I can narrow the list: It is right hand road traffic there, so Australia and that island in the north sea are out of scope ...
