A Small Airstrip

Recommended Posts

I flew over this small airstrip sometimes ago.

Guess which airstrip is that? Clue: it is within Malaysia. Have fun.

Hi, first post of pic here, thought might be appropriate since talking about small strip. No need to guess this on.

Hmm, Aaron, that is not Malaysia, right? Australia?

 

When flying above Australia there is a game you can play to kill time, called 'spot the airfield'. When flying over the outbacks, try to locate a rown or house. Then try to locate the airstrip associated with it. Chances are every farm, ranch or town will have an airstrip nearby. That is their only practical way of those people to travel in and out.

 

As for the original airfield in this thread, I want to give everybody the chance to try. So I'm not going to reveal the answer yet.

Taiping

 

So many 'bekas lombong' around...

 

Iggy, UTM doesn't have any airstrip inside our campus..

 

But, it is located at Mersing. If that is ours, then you can see the beach.. :)

Taiping, my hometown! No doubt about it...there's just no mistaking the half-gone runway. :)

 

Can I have the original shot, Captain?

Taiping, how come the middle looks like scrapped off? become dirt runway already kah?>

 

Capt. Radzi,

Yes, the dirt strip is in Australia. There's so many of em' here. Well, as for spotting houses, we don't really do that, but trying to spot antennas and repeater stations is already making my eyes blur. :D
