Is it because its mainly used for the military

CaptainChimpy · December 9, 2016, 10:40pm

Not specific enough.

zzed_41 · December 10, 2016, 5:29am

Because it was a former B47 base

CaptainChimpy · December 10, 2016, 2:48pm

Correct! What question do you have in store for us?

Colorado1 · December 11, 2016, 2:15am

Yes zzed_41 now its your turn to ask the question to try to stump us.

Colorado1 · December 13, 2016, 3:18pm

If you want to do a trivia question for us please post soon, but if you don’t then I have another question ready to go.

Hi sorry had choppy net connection the past few days.

With a recently extended runway, this airport that is the nearest gateway to a well known beach can now handle narrow body jets on a regular basis, as compared to the past where ATR’s and Dash-8’s were the norm. It is also known to have a very low approach, passing a road just on the threshold of the runway.

Isn’t it the St. Marten airport??

EDIT: Sorry for my spelling. St. Maarten Airport

Aeroflot808 · December 14, 2016, 11:09pm

oh shoot, I know this one but I forget the name of the airport and where exactly it is.

pderuiter · December 15, 2016, 3:15pm

I thought this as well, but i couldn’t find any news of its runway being extended, and as far as i know it can already handle bigger aircraft (KLM flew 747-400s up until the end of October this year)

pderuiter · December 15, 2016, 3:20pm

Are you talking about Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in the Phillipines?

zzed_41 · December 16, 2016, 11:39am

Yep, you got it! More well known as Caticlan Airport, it’s the gateway to Boracay. Over to you!

Nace888 · December 17, 2016, 5:02am

Wait, who got this one?

Colorado1 · December 17, 2016, 5:03am

yes who got the question right?

Nace888 · December 17, 2016, 6:31am

@pderuiter Got it. Looked up the Caticlan Airport information, and the name he gave comes up! Awesome job!

Colorado1 · December 17, 2016, 9:01pm

Ok then Bring on the question

pderuiter · December 20, 2016, 8:10am

What airline has the shortest commercial flight in the world?

Guusje2 · December 20, 2016, 4:00pm

Founded It online, does that count?

The world’s shortest commercial flight takes place between the two Orkney Islands, Westray and Papa Westray, just north of Scotland, separated by a distance of only 1.7 miles. Operated by Loganair, the flight duration is officially two minutes, but under ideal wind condition can be completed in only 47 seconds. Tickets are priced at about $30p

A post was split to a new topic: DevLog Christmas Break

Colorado1 · December 20, 2016, 9:29pm

I believe that Guusje2 is correct. That’s my answer anyway.
