Microlight tours

🔗 Thu, 30 Dec 2021
— @david at Kumköy Blue Sky Airport, Turkey

From a problem report:

"This airfield is NOT closed, it is still used by its owners, they do air tours with microlights"

No airport visible

🔗 Tue, 28 Dec 2021
— @david at Dadu Airport, Pakistan

There's no airport visible. I'm not certain there ever was one, because it looks like the databases just picked up the latitude and longitude of the village of Dadu rather than an airport.

RWY02/20, TWR 122.1(130.0)

No runway visible

I'm assuming the road doubles as a landing strip, but with the curve, it would be challenging.

re: Any verification on the ICAO ID?

🔗 Sat, 25 Dec 2021
— @david at Al Mahbes Airstrip, Western Sahara (disputed territory)

Reply to @mforte: yes, it's problematic, because GMAR is a Moroccan ICAO code, and this airport is not within Morocco's internationally recognized borders (though they occupy and administer the territory).

Thanks for the comment. Our policy is to list the primary city served rather than the airport's actual location.

Active airstrip?

— @david at Aeroboero Airport, Argentina

The houses are dangerously close to the runway if it's still in use.

The old VNCs on the wall at Rockcliffe show St. André-Avellin airport at this spot, further north of the town than the present field.

Seen on an old VNC (unknown date, mounted on wall at Rockcliffe Flying Club). Recent satellite image shows a mowed grass runway and parked aircraft.

Location off

🔗 Tue, 14 Dec 2021
— @david at Woolomin Airport, Australia

YWOM is still an active ALA according to the December 2021 AIP. The location is clearly a little off — perhaps it's the field just to the northwest, but I don't want to guess without more evidence.
