Looking for Reference Images for an Airport (WXX4)

October 1, 2015 1:48 PM

I am trying to find photos or videos of Unnamed Star Mountains Airport (WXX4) in Papua, Indonesia. This is for a hobby-project, so they don't need to be great, but I am hoping for something better than the gray blob I see on Google Earth/Maps.

I can find photos and videos of other village airports in the area that are even much more obscure than WXX4, so I would imagine there are reference images/videos for WXX4 out there somewhere, even though my Google skills are apparently not up to the task.

I have even tried watching videos of flying videos in the area to see if WXX4 just happens to come up in the video, but I haven't had any luck there, either.

Can anyone find what I am looking for, or help me help myself?

Best answer: The Bing Maps imagery is pretty good, although the high-res tile ends less than a mile east of the runway.

Response by poster: I didn't even think to check Bing. That image is far better than I expected from any source, so thank you.

I also didn't think of looking up an airport's Lat and Long, then putting that info into a map tool (either Google or Bing), which has already helped with other parts of the project, so you helped in several ways. Thanks!
