My favorite landing strips have been KOA landing on the black moon and PLJ landing on the red dirt (now paved with lights).

If you want to see nothing, RUH is the place to be. Talk about expansive desert. When I was deployed in that neighborhood, the base I was on had one of those red and white candy-stripe water towers that flared at the top. We called it the Devil's Doorknob.

Walvis Bay was seriously weird. Expansive desert scenery with a mix of 450 ft. high sand dunes (tallest in the world), and flat, hard-packed sand desert, bounded by the stormy South Atlantic on the other side (with plenty of derelict shipwrecks visible along the coast). Looked like somewhere where the temps should range 100+ most of the time. Due to some climatological quirk (cold water current offshore), the temperature never really varies between about 60 and 75 degrees. It also gets pretty foggy during the evening to morning hours, which then burns off by late morning for cloudless, blue skies. Watching the marine layer roll in off the sea around sunset was pretty cool.
Wikipedia claims it's one of the few temperate deserts on the planet. |
