ZRH it is. From the terrace at dock E.

Not EAP for the other one. That airport also is no longer a KLM destination.

Stuck on the apron for hours, waiting for the weather to clear. Destination was BRU.

Guessing that it is one of EWR, JFK, ORD, IAD or ATL Ie the trans-Atlantic destinations from BRU. But which one?

Yeah, that hint was intended to leave you with a very short list of options. It is indeed one of them.

After speaking to Google, I now know that the type of engine run-up enclosure pictured is not even unique to the airport in question. On the contrary, it is a design found at many airports worldwide. This particular installation can be found on the manufacturer's website, with pictures and all.

Thanks Johan. The challenge, not remembering having seen such structures in person, is finding them on a map, while excluding the other airports.

I have identified one, but now need to (hopefully) exclude the others.

Either the photo is old either it isnt JFK as United left a few years ago.
I reckon its ATL but its hard to tell from above.

Based on eliminating the other airports (either not finding jet blast fences or them having the wrong shape or place for the photo), I conclude it must be ORD.

With most other options taken, I vote for EWR ;-).

I maintain that it is this one at ORD, based on Johan's description and hints: https://www.aksward.com/projects/gro...osure-chicago/

Apologies for keeping you all in suspense, I've again been offline all day.

Yes, ORD is the correct answer.

Back to the previous century.

This one may require a bit of searching the various clues, if the location is not immediately obvious .
