Check out the fifth from the last @ http://www.mixedsoup.com/gallery-worlds-strangest-airports/ I'd swear that's an FS shot... Except for the guy ducking at the bottom. And why isn't the left prop turning? No ID for any, but I'm sure that among us, we can name them all. If I counted right, there are 26 shots, with 1 and 2 the same airport. Extra points for 8, 9, 11, 13, 14. Go!RobAlso, I can think of a few airports that are stranger than some of these, you?

Does anyone know the location of #6? I'm pretty sure it's in the eastern U.S. Sort of a fly-in golf resort...

Saba is actually on the side of a cliff, I don't think #5 is SABA.

>Does anyone know the location of #6? I'm pretty sure it's in>the eastern U.S. Sort of a fly-in golf resort...It is, I've been to it's website but I'm drawing a blank on the name of it right now. They have a couple interactive webcams on the website that you can pan around and zoom and such. It is in VA or WV or NC or something like that. I think there is an ad for it in lots of the flying magazines.edit: just found it. It's 2NC0 - Mountain Air Airport, Burnsville, NC.

>Check out the fifth from the last @>I'd swear that's an FS shot... Except for the guy ducking at>the bottom. And why isn't the left prop turning? FS never looked that good.The picture is just shot with a fast enough shutter speed to make it look like both props are not turning. There's not blade shadow/ blur on the starboard engine - so the blades are in a position hidden by the other aircraft parts. Neither #4 of #5 are Saba. For one thing SABA's runway would be numbered 12/20 - #4 is Rwy 27 and the small ramp is one the wrong side.#5 geography and coast line are wrong - looks like Japan to me.This Saba - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...aba_airport.jpghttp://www.airliners.net/photo/-/-/0723905/L/#20 looks a lot like Lord Howe Island - YLHIThe problem is that short runways which span completely across small islands are very common around the world.
