A Challenging one indeed!

Nice topic,

hahaha I have the same comforting thouts now. I´m also always on the look out for other traffic. Always good for some nice pics.

About the AMS - YYZ puzzle.
If you took a more Northerly route this could also be somewhere around Baffin Island Canada (Looking at the flight time and the geographical features) .

Doesn't help that large parts of Greenland are not as detailed as other parts.

But, I'm 90% sure that this is a pic of Maniitsoq (BGMQ) on the west coast of Greenland.
It's not that visible in Google Earth, but but comparing what you can see to the photo plus the aerodrome chart of the airport in the Greenland AIP, it looks close.

Yorden

Looking at this picture:

I think you're spot on!

If you look at the aerodome chart, you should see the apron on the photo and the 'buildings' at the end of the runway are not on the chart, but then again the photo is from 2005... ;)

Searched A.Net and compared it with a photo. I think its BGMQ.

Thanks for the input.

The entry to the apron is just visible on your photo level with the first white aiming point markings. The apron itself is visible with the two darker spots, with the two light coloured airport buildings next to it.
You have to look closely, that was the final clue that I needed. :lol:

I'm stumped on this one, about an hour east of Vancouver covers a lot of Canada and the US. Do you have any other info that might help narrow it down? ie. you were flying from ?? to ??, which side of the aircraft it was. If you can give us those, it might help narrow things down.

I've spent some hours in Google Earth as well but no result so far.....
We were flying last mid-august on an Air Canada A330, sitting on the left hand side. Flight was from London tot Vancouver and we approached from the north. I could maybe check the time of the picture compared to the landing time...

And the same here. I love looking at the earth from above, and airfields are among the highlights to see - as are airborne planes of course!

You can see the ( former ) militairy area at the left side and the 2 parallel runways( forget the numbers) also seen the motorway in the front.
07-25L/R. And the one sticking out to the left is 18 or 'Startbahn Süd', because that's the only way it is used. That means the photos were taken looking to the right, when passing northeast of the field.

Agree, well done! So the flight (Arke?) was taking airway UP4, roughly from Gloucester to Cork, and Burry saw Templeton down on the left, 20 minutes after passing Heathrow. 8)

Found it! Its Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. If you check it with Google Earth its a perfect match.
