    • Brian: is it York Airport? No idea, if there was a battle there, but ...
      "Jake the Fake" would go down well here !
      sounded too much like JFK, JFK is in New York, New York ends with York, hence ... tatarataaaa ... YORK AIRPORT.

      • Not York.

        Google "Jake the Fake". There will be a physical clue that applies to this location.
        If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

        • Vienna Airport
          Milton Keynes Airport?????????
          Rolf Harris Airport?????????????
          Facebook Airport???????
          Twitter Airport?????????

          I might have made some of these up.

          • Rolf Harris will give the clue. What physical aberration did Jake The Fake have and how might that lead to a national symbol ?
            .....and it's a tax haven.

            • Going on the tax haven hint: Isle of Man Ronaldsway airport. Near the site of the Battle of Ronaldsway (1275). The five airlines are Aer Arann, Blue Islands, Easyjet, FlyBE and Manx. The sixth airline is Loganair operating for FlyBE.

                That's the one. Over to you.

                The "Jake The Fake" clue refers to jake having an extra leg in the Rolf Harris song.
                The Isle of Man has a circular three legged symbol on it's flag.

                  • For the next one I want the exact right name! Not something similar! You'll find out why later.


                    Here you will find lots of military operations, there where two large fires.

                    • Judging from the overwhelming response, I feel another hint or two is required:

                      The runway is rather short.
                      No longer in use, it has not yet been decided what to do with it.


                      My apologies for the first hint which said there are lots of military operations. I should have said there WHERE lots of military operations. I hope this did not confuse you guys too much.

                        Because of Berlin Tegel Airport.

                          Not even close.

                          Some more hints then:

                          It used to be operated by the US military. Largest plane to fly here was a C-130, but those flights can be considered experimental.

                          • Hmmmm ??????

                            Emphasis on a short runway...fires...C130 experimental mission....uncertain future ???

                            I may be way off the mark but I have a feeling that you, my devious friend may be talking about the the decommissioned aircraft carrier.....

                            The USS Forrestal ?

                            They once landed a C130 there, there have been a couple of fires especially the one the that killed 134 sailors when a missile cooked off on deck, the future of the boat is uncertain......and you can't get a much shorter runway !!
                            If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
