There has been a long standing plan to build a new airport at Mexico's Capital Mexico City, expanding the numbers of runways as well as creating longer runways.

Lack of money have now resulted in an interesting "solution".

The new airport was painted onto the surface of the dry lake exactly where the new airport has been planned to, even the runways have been painted in their planned positions including full markings.

This move prompts Pilot Associations around the globe to warn their members of possible confusion of old real airport and new "fake" airport.

They state that from the air it is not recognizeable that this is just a painting and could be confused with a real airport.

GeoEye-1 Satellite Images of Apr 19th 2017 show the beginnings of the easterly "runway".

Nice, but not unique: For years a copy of Taiwanese Taichung AFB (24.264264, 120.623770) can be found in the Chinese Gobi desert close to the main armament integration testing facilities (Dingxin AFB) at 40.378875, 99.889955
