Where In The World 17?

By Ron Blehm
28 January 2009

Sorry for the delay, last year I learned to time these things out so as to not have them up during the holidays. Now we are back on track ...

   

Central Africa, Air France A300, Israeli C-130s ...It has to be Entebbe, Uganda. I think only two of you missed this one. (Most said it was too easy). This time around we heard back from the following dedicated geographists:

Our thanks to Airliners.net photographer Phil Rix for sharing his photo with us simmer-types.

For our next submission, we are going to head north-east, to the next continent. This great plain has over 2000 temple ruins, the majority built between 1000 and 1200 AD. UNESCO has unsuccessfully tried to designate this area as a World Heritage Site. Obviously none of this is included in flightsim but the area still makes for some good flying according to Roger Politis of Europe who submitted these photos for us.

   

Please submit guesses or future submissions* to: cubflounder@gmail.com

Finally, we like to review the rules for submitting photos to this "contest":

  1. This must be a real-world photo taken by or of you (no internet photos)
  2. Photos may be new or old but should clearly show the subject matter (Scenic vistas or cool architecture are good ideas)
  3. You must include a written clue and a sim photo - submit everything to: cubflounder@gmail.com
  4. Please give us your name, what continent you are from and the real, correct answer

*We reserve the right to accept or refuse any photo submissions.

**In the past and in the future a livery may provide a clue, but this will not always be the case so look carefully!
