[Captn]

Looks like nice place to R&R

Well, it is hard to tell from your description, but is it KIZG, Freyburg Maine?

 

[whaleroast]

Is it...E51, Bagdad, AZ?
Last time I was up there I got attacked by a swarm of bees tucked away in the engine of an old 182. Was my fault, I shouldn't have tried to take a leak so close to the tiedown.
Searchlight, NV, is another great nesting place of mean insects. But that's another story.

Sounds like Bar Harbor, Maine (KBHB) to me

Navigator,
Hey, where'd you find that picture?

 

[navigator72]

Follow the link

 

[skyslug]

link? I see no link.

 

[Nixon]

The link is in the first post. Between the "R&R" and the "technical difficulties." What browser are you using? It probably doesn't work right in MS IE.

 

[con-pilot]

Nope, no link, no picture.

 

[Nixon]

Darned Microsoft. Here, I'll repost the link:



Now you can see it.

 

[Captn]

Now Where Was I ?

This is the unknown airport.

 

[81Horse]

I want to go there. And stay. And close the airport.

Where is it? I thought maybe the San Juan Islands, but the beaches look too sandy.

Def not Bar Harbor, I am thinking somewhere in the carribean.

 

[81Horse]

But with good-sized conifers -- could that be Caribbean?

 

[navigator72]

Ok, maybe Bar Harbor was a bit off. When I win the powerball lottery tomorrow night, I will buy the island and call it mine.....

Are you refering to the locals? I swung through there this weekend by car. Thought I was in the twilight zone. Oh yeah, go the speed limit too when it reduces down to 25mph......the one cop in town will be waiting for you.

I know zackly where that is. That's Auxillary Landing Field 3B at Atlantis. You know, before it sank. I know kuz I wuz there.

OK, OK, I'll take my medication.

Sure. You get Norfolk Pine in many Tropical areas. I've seen them in Hawaii and in costal Brazil. I don't specifically recall seeing them in the Carribean, but I'd be surprised if they didn't grow there.

It is Hamilton Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

Lord Howe Island, NSW, Australia.

 

[Mmmmmm Burritos]

C'mon guys, this isn't hard. Go to airliners.net and do a search for Darren Howie and you'll find it.

Lord Howe Island, Australia

Doh, beat me by a couple minutes...

 

[405]

That's what I did, Burritos.

Searchlight is screwed up. A random 5000ft strip in the desert with NOTHING at the 'airport' (although another good place to take a leak). You go 15 miles south and there is a lighted dirt strip with a casino!

Looks like the airport on the island just north of Roatan off Honduras. Flew over it a lot but always above 30,000 feet going into TGU.

Yeah I looked at a satellite pic of that "airport"...pretty strange if you ask me. It's probably a leftover designated UFO landing area.

Searchlight: the kind of place that if you go missing, the locals just shrug their shoulders and say "Ayah".
