Theres relatively few landings but there are airlines represented from the world over.
Also, this place is in the Guinness Book of Records.

Just from the hint you'd have to assume it was the field where freshly painted Boeing or Airbus jetliners take off from for delivery to customers.

Found it, Boeing factory in Everett, WA.

My next hint was that you wouldnt find any French airlines.
Good job.
BTW its the worlds largest building.

 

Hopefully this is not a repeat.

 

Whew - I just updated the list right through to Boeing's airstrip.

This is it.

I haven't sorted the entries by category - perhaps some enterprising player might pull the list into Excel and do that for us.

An especially enterprising player might pull in a picture of the whole earth and Photoshop a red dot at every location - that'd help the searches for fresh landscapes immensely.

But, anyway, there IS a full list to consult before putting up new (or not so new) images, and save you from having to wade through the nearly 1,000 posts in this game.

Evan - any chance you can open my post #166 so anyone can edit it?

This baffled me at first. It appeared to be a tall building with a large overhang. Almost like a bridge abutment going nowhere. Then it stuck me this is the Clinton Presidential Library. When it was built, it was suppose to represent a bridge to the 21st century, but I remembered it as a bridge to nowhere.

Clinton Library

It is late and I will be unable to post so it is open.

Well, SOMEBODY knows how, 'cause they added the Las Vegas Speedway to post #166! Thanks - but how was it done?

Excellent! Thanks!

Because that list is in posting sequence, which at nearly 300 entries makes looking things up difficult, I'm going to alphabetize it - that'll help some.

Meanwhile, below is a categorized list - with lots of duplication because many items have multiple categories, but should aid quite a bit, I think, the check for prior posting.

Very interesting, to see what we've focused on around the world. Airports turn out to not have been as frequent as other categories, although they fekt that way ---

We are not worthy of such benevolent insanity!
