Ok guys, just remember that the rule is that you have to have actually been at the airport/field that you post pictures off, makes it more intresting dont you think?

We should all take at least one overseas trip in our lives... makes one appreciate South Africa again.

Not an airport, but should be well known for those that have flown in the Eastern Cape...!

A shoddy picture of us at this airport. I would reckon there is not a lot of people that has visited this place. I can give tyou some clues later.

GreenMachine · « **Reply #50 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:31:34 am »

This one has me baffled. I spent some time on google earth. Found lots of other strips but could not find his one

Skaiidawg · « **Reply #51 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:53:42 am »

Ok its in Africa, north of the Equator. Very old city.

GreenMachine · « **Reply #52 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:58:38 am »

Indeed correct Mr isiTututu

It's actually a dirt landing strip called Henry's Flats - FAHF
Latitude: -33.11667
Longitude: 25.755556

At one stage it was ones as one of the landing and navigation points for pilots in training from Progress Flight school in PE (where I learnt to fly in '96)
The beauty of the nav point was the fact that it lay in the kink of the river which made a good landmark on the paper maps being used for the Nav.

As far as I can remember the main rwy had a moerse pothole about a third of the rwy down and we always had to make sure it was a deep landing. Later on the airfield was excluded due to lack of maintenance and it apparently became too dangerous to use. Pity though - nice clubhouse based on a honesty bar etc.

Hey SD

See here has been no action for a while. Obviously it's in the Sahara, but it's very big with tonnes of old cities. Another clue perhaps?

It's an old picture, so the airport might have changed a bit.
My guess is Timbuktu Airport (TOM), Mali. It's certainly one of the most well-known ancient city in Africa.

Buller, correct that is indeed Timbuktu.
