Not easy

F-GSQK was there (but it flies everywhere)
C-130 is there (but it could be anyone)
Unmarked 737 NG there
Possible to take a photo from a weird angle = finger pier / bus (but looks more like finger pier)
Hangar area with fence opposite to finger pier / terminal (separated by runway (?) and taxiway)
Low terminal building with random stuff on the roof

Made me think long domestic flight, but none of them matches. BOG has some appealing characteristics too, but not a great match.

Well, not sure - F-GSQK should have a F4C58W28Y206 config, which means under normal circumstances this should be at an LP destination. But I'm also still wondering which one...

And that is correct, I think it is the same gate we had the A359 at before, but from a completely different angle.

Original without cropping would have been easier, I guess:

Funny, it's an airport I've flown out of at least 20 times and ruled it out based on general look and feel.

Same here, I even thought of JNB in the first place but discarded it, after checking google maps

I feel compelled to share the honor with Wuzziduzziman for the perfect assist....without that I never would have guessed it. When we make up the tally end 2022, we should also award people who clearly prepared scores by others by noting some good clues.

Here is the next one

The angle and zoom is insane indeed. This is the line from the plane to the red-white steel tower in the background. I had similar experiences with other riddles where only later I noted how the picture was taken. This let me draw the conclusion is that sometimes you just have to throw in your gut feeling.....

A bit too tough for me. I will put down my thoughts in case someone can piece it together:

- the hangars look either worn out (suggesting Africa / South America, but realistically anywhere) or military (Northern Europe)
- the white tail sneaking out from the back might be an abandoned plane (Africa / South America), a private jet (small airport) or a gov't plane (important airport, could tie in with military use)
- Hills and forest nearby


also, the yellow-circular runway markings with nothing in between seem quite uncommon to me. Only registered them in HEL and RVN (sure they are elsewhere but I don't pay attention), but it is neither of those.

I can tell you it is not a country where things are worn out, I'd say on the contrary ;-). Interesting again how a focus on a small part of an airport can give the impression of a totally different continent ;-). I had thought the radar tower would give a clue to some of you.

For the fans of ATC towers, try this one: https://blog.klm.com/quiz-can-you-re...the-atc-tower/

Unfortunately, the latest photo is not there so we have to keep looking.
