@ptomblin at Ferkessédougou Airport, Côte d'Ivoire

I moved the marker to 9.6N 5.18333W because that's where the Eurocontrol data has it, but it doesn't look any more like an aerodrome than the previous location. It's important to note, however, that small private airstrips often don't look like anything on the satellite imagery.

@david at Bouaké Airport, Côte d'Ivoire

This is the airport where the Fokker 100 carrying prime minister of the Côte d'Ivoire, Guillaume Soro, was attacked after landing by rockets and kalashnikov fire in on June 29, 2007. Soro was unhurt the attack, but four people were killed and ten wounded. The attackers are still unknown:
