wolfko Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 No, I'm sorry Greg, it is not Queenstown. I thought (actually hoped) that it might be mistaken with Queenstown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfko Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 No, also not Milford Sound. A hint: I wrote "So this may be a hint, a Qantas and an Air NZ Link Dash 8-300 at exactly the same location." The emphasis on "may". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Another hint: look at the aircraft's registration number. Edit: but please don't google the number. This wasn't fair. Edited September 26, 2020 by wolfko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't fair. Haha. I noticed the Canadian rego straight away, but a google search didn't help me anyway. All I could find with that registration was a DC-8 and a Piper PA-28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It's not Innsbruck is it? The terrain would certainly match, even if the QANTAS and ANZ clues do not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) And the winner is - Scott! Good on you! Yes, it is Innsbruck indeed. The shot is from July 2005, taken by an acquaintance, who is a plane spotter at LOWI. The Qantas shot I have taken and cannot find is also from around 2005. At that time some of the Dash 8 delivery flights from the Bombardier plant in Canada (hence the Canadian registration) to Australia and New Zealand took the route via the eastern hemisphere and LOWI seemed to be popular as a refueling stop. PS: I think the plane on the pic was the first Q300 delivered to Air Nelson (NZ Link). Edited September 26, 2020 by wolfko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 OK. Here is one of my favourite Orbx airports of all time, and probably the most used by me, although it has been a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice picture, and not too easy as well. Let me try to narrow it down: With the lovely Virgin Australia and the not-so-lovely Jetstar this is most probably taken somewhere in OZ. With the most-lovely Singapore Airline in the background it can only be a major international airport. So we have the choice between... Perth (no Orbx airport available, unfortunately) Adelaide (no Orbx airport available) Sydney (no Orbx airport needed) Brisbane Melbourne Canberra No initial guessing from me today... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernief Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 YMML Melbourne. I have not got any more Orbx Airport airport photo's so someone will have to share their photo's for me if I am correct. Cheers Bernie. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only clue is, the airport is in Australia. The clue of Wolfgang is correct. To my knowledge REX does not leave the continent? Whilst the Antonov in the background could be confusing. Let me assure you she did not have to go too far south, and the runway surely is long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
