April 18, 201016 yr Hi all,I'm going to take a shot at stumping people here.Name the airport and the airplane. The only clues are if you figure out one of the answers the other becomes easy and we are in the USA.Good LuckMichael Michael Wolfe Intel Core i5 2300 / ASUS P8P67(b3) mobo / 4GB Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz Dual Channel RAM / ASUS GTS450 1GB DDR5 810Mhz(O.C.) / Seagate Baracuda 1.5TB 7200RPM HDD / ASUS DVD+/-RW Burner / CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus cpu cooler / CoolerMaster Extreem Power Plus 700W PSU / Antec 300 case w/ 1x 140mm Antec TriCool and 4x 120mm Antec TriCool fans / Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) / ASUS VE228 LED 1080p 21.5" Monitor

April 18, 201016 yr 748i, Boeing Field (KBFI) just off RWY 13RBut can you guess the date to the second? :(Ken Smith Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
April 18, 201016 yr But can you guess the date to the second? :(Ken Smith Judging by what appears to be a small 1/10th pixel of a cyan color on the 1,132nd piece of grash from left to righ @ 477 pixels high you can clearly see it is a fly dropping (poop). The cyan color would indicate the suns position is approximately 47 degrees in relation meaning that the time is 3:42:21.As for the type of fly that pooped, I wood say it could only be a blue bottle fly, and most likely 37 hours old and is female.The BB fly was probably born on 4/09/2010 looking at the latest weather Boeing Field has had, and there was a fair amount of wind since the way the fly poop splatters down at the bottom, meaning the pixture had to be about 4/11/2010 - 4/12/2010 :( i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

You made my morning. No offense, Ken and Matthew et al but this is exactly the approach I thought you must have used to identify Sylt and Mauritius before. :-)Phil Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
April 18, 201016 yr Author Hi all,It is KBFI Boeing Field, the photo was taken off the north end of the field by 13R, and the plane pictured is the 747-8F (none of the 747-8i models have rolled off the assembly line at KPAE yet).Now as to the fly poop and the date/time it was taken. Your assumptions on the age and sex of the blue bottle fly are correct but it was born on 4/14/2010 and the picture was shot on 4/16/2010 between 12:30 and 13:00, while taking these shots also.Boeing 787-8 #2Boeing 787-8 #3Sorry about the quality of the shots but I did not have my usual camera equipment with me and these shots were a result of a little luck. I was driving by KBFI and noticed the rotating beacon was operating on both birds and so drove to the north end where there is a small park and took these shots, plus a few more.MichaelKSEA Michael Wolfe Intel Core i5 2300 / ASUS P8P67(b3) mobo / 4GB Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz Dual Channel RAM / ASUS GTS450 1GB DDR5 810Mhz(O.C.) / Seagate Baracuda 1.5TB 7200RPM HDD / ASUS DVD+/-RW Burner / CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus cpu cooler / CoolerMaster Extreem Power Plus 700W PSU / Antec 300 case w/ 1x 140mm Antec TriCool and 4x 120mm Antec TriCool fans / Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) / ASUS VE228 LED 1080p 21.5" Monitor
