A bit of spring

The picture was taken by another club member at our aerodrome. I love it.

Very nice! Of course it would be even nicer if you tell us which aerodrome this is

Our world is a beautiful place, it's always great when we get images of it that make us smile.

I guess that would be Pattonville Airport (EDTQ) located in Pattonville, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. I needed to look it up because, I guess, unlike everyone else I have not been able to memorize every airport ICAO code in the world.

Great pic, Marc, thanks for sharing!

Airport Codes.com has codes for over 47,000 airports worldwide: https://www.world-airport-codes.com/

I have maybe like 15 of them memorized, if that. I like knowing the history behind some of the odd ones. For example, Spokane International's code is KGEG because it was originally called Geiger Field.

Beautiful picture. That put a smile on my face.

Spring? Not as I remember it. Must be one of those 'New World Order' springs.

Great picture though.

LOL sorry, I had Google in mind indeed Yep it's Pattonville, about 10nm north of EDDS, Stuttgart in southern Germany. It's a former US airfield, 670m asphalt runway and a slightly longer grass runway. It was in US hands until 1993, since then it has been run by local clubs. US troops stationed some Pershing missiles at the airfield.


Using the Google Maps replacement in MSFS it's a great approach since we don't have a standard circuit for noise abatement reasons.
