Rod,

Any chance of doing Alcantarilla,  a Spanish military base only 20 minutes from me.

Cheers,
Ian

ANd here it is - lovely to see a CASA 352 on display there.

Alcantarilla - LERI

RadarBox knows where it is but doesn't have the runway.

Rod,

Thanks for that. It has always been showing on the RB but without the runway. Just haven't got round to asking you for the update up until now.

There are always Casas of all types there and Spanish C130's as well as visitors from other countries and what is even more convenient there is a restaurant/bar located at the end of the runway where the traffic flies directly overhead at only a couple of hundred feet up. Perfect location on a summer's day parked up in the car park.

For no particular reason, here are two little Florida Everglades airports:

Marco Island - KMKY
Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport - KTNT - interesting as when construction started, in 1968, it was planned as the biggest airport in the world, with 6 runways, named the Everglades Jetport. When the environmental damage that it would wreak had been appreciated, the idea was abandoned, and the airport is only used for training these days.

Wunstorf Airbase - ETNW
Münster Osnabrück International - EDDG

and a English field, North Weald

Two more "little" airports, this time in California and both called 29 Palms:

Twentynine Palms Airport - KTNP
Twentynine Palms Strategic Expeditionary Landing Field (SELF) - KNXP in a huge Marine Corps complex, an aluminium airfield: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentynine_Palms_Strategic_Expeditionary_Landing_Field

Shame the RB runway doen't line up.

I've been noticing returns from Copenhagen and noticed that the outline is bobbing about in the Baltic, so I've done an outline of the island it lives on - Amager.
