Here’s another teaser in advance of my MSFS 2024 west coast flight. The airfield is Coutin-Carcans in the Médoc to the south-east of Lacanau and the north-west of Bordeaux. Wim and I arrived there in the early evening of day 2 after suffering bad weather en-route from Amou. The problem was sea fog on approaching the coast that caused me to turn back and make a precautionary landing at Mimizan and Wim at Arcachon, which delayed our arrivals by several hours.
My airfield scenery is exactly as Carcans was then. I think it’s gone now, maybe just one hangar remains from the look of Google Earth and street view shows a sign at the side of the main road advertising pleasure flights. When we arrived the place was deserted but it became a hive of activity the next day when we took off for Le Thou, as the real life photograph above shows.
