Okay, the DC-3 photo was VERY CONFUSING as that was an answer fornumber 122 in the Aleutian Islands! I was late to get this in and wasrushing about and did not properly identify that photo as being forthe PRIOR feature! Totally my bad.
Feature number 123 was Arequipa, Peru, at more than 8,300 feetabove sea level it is a challenging approach and with the toweringMisti Volcano very near by, you probably wouldn't want to departeastbound! So landing eastbound toward the volcano, departingwestbound toward the ocean. (Interestingly only ... 83 miles or sofrom the ocean so on average you are gaining a thousand feet ofterrain per mile!)
Those who guessed:
Charlie Aron Reid Gearhart Bob Bina Tim Wright Clive Saville Joe Bowers Dick Bronson Gerard Guichard Mateusz Mucha Mark C. Bryant Steven Elk Bastian Blinten Graeme Nowland Scott Simmons | Aaron Casas Roger Wensley Thomas Pedersen Ulf Kristoffersson Gary Sheppard Randy Ahlfinger John Chesher Gordon Ballay Larry Sharer Steve Morley Paul Kiver Markus Fass Stefan Gatzke David Vega | Christian Bachmann Steve Garland Jeff Cybulski Mike Guttman Eric T. P. Howard Paul Close Scott Carpenter Thomas Oftedal Kevin Hall Melo Scanlon Michael Polley Fred Hilerio |
Some other high (but wrong) locations:
- Mataveri International on Easter Island
- Cuzco, Peru (we've been there before)
- Ayacucho, Peru (SPHO)
- "Somewhere in Ecuador"
- San Bernardo, Columbia (SKMP)
Feature number 124...alright, talk about stepping up; I think you guys have submitted enough to last for all of 2020!THANK YOU!
Let's do this, and I'm sorry if you needed your suggestion topost up right away; I'm going to post these in alphabetical orderby FIRST NAME. So, Feature Number 124 is from David Vega whowrites, "This airport has an interesting name. It's a famous namebut when you hear it you'll be thinking of the place in the Caribbean and that's not the one we're looking for!"
