The first one is EASY, the BIG EASY, The second pic is the Big Muddy, same city

The second city is viewed from the west, and is Phoenix, the usual long final.

The third one is an old fav. Used to be really glad to see it after departing Barbados nonstop. Would clear customs and continue on to Honolulu nonstop.

Houston Hobby.

Wish I had taken more cockpit pics in my 35 years.

OK, I should have said, - no pilots-!! Here is one for you Fing, Mr. Smarty Pants

Where is this? Looking East down the RWY (after a downpour!)

If you get this, you are either an airport GURU or need to retire!!



And for everyone else... One more landmark.... Actually should be easy.

I won't describe which kingdom the second pic is in, but the first one gives almost no clue. I would say Bahamas, one of the smaller strips???

And I did retire. Probably too early given the state of the economy.

all cities look alike to me...too many buildings, too many people, too much traffic.

Actually, I thought Rattlesnak was playing with me, knowing I spent a lot of time in Gulfstreams. My first blush was that this was Savannah, Georgia (where Gulfstreams are made). But the surroundings are off, and then I realized Charleston, S.C. is very similar, and it also has a cable-stayed fan double suspension bridge.

The Chub Cay runway was a blast. The giveaway in the photo is the American car, and the sandstone surface. The trees lining the runway, the dike alongside. I was always amazed at how close the trees were to the runways there, you didn't really realize how close until taxiing back after landing.

You know how it is, you see so many places in a lifetime of flying, and it is nice to see someone else thought to take the camera out and document it all.

Thats funny, I actually did look for a SAV pic but don't have one! CHS was the closest I had! And the one above that is Epcot/ Disney.

I cant tell you how many times i wished i had my camera with me on alot of the places i went. Most of these were taken with my phone!

Anyway, part # 2 later.... I have TONS...
