BitMaster Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I tried to locate that Airfield on Google Earth and couldnt find it. Is it me & my eyes or has this airfield been given up and the land used for skyscrapers and civil use ? just curious, nothing urgent or such.

Flagrum Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Interesting question. Wikipedia: "The closest airports (Gelendzhik Airport, Anapa Airport and Krasnodar Airport, situated 33 kilometres (21 mi), 53 kilometres (33 mi) and 172 kilometres (107 mi) away from the city, respectively, offers flights to many cities in Russia."

Nooch Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I found out the same thing. Many airfields on our caucasus map do not match up with real life. I guess they did in the past but not anymore. Frankly I don't really mind. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ce_Zeta Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yeap, that's it. In some older satellite photos, you are still able to find the former runway. Caucasus map is "exotic". Looks like its based in 1992 aprox. . When still former soviet airbases exist but with all former soviet names dropped (Mikha Tskhakaya, Novo Aleeksevka...). A lot of things happened there so it's normal find closed airbases or worst, like in the Novorosyisk case I hope that in the new Caucasus they change Novorossyisk for Marneuli at least. Marneuli was a PVO airbase until the collapse of the USSR and later used by the new Georgian Airforce. There are no excuses for exclude it in this map (Marneuli is 15 nm South of novo Alekseevka, renamed Lochini).

Ironhand Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I tried to locate that Airfield on Google Earth and couldnt find it. Is it me & my eyes or has this airfield been given up and the land used for skyscrapers and civil use ? just curious, nothing urgent or such. Several airbases on the map are now either international airports, a combination of military/international airport, or their land has simply been re-purposed. Be interesting to see what the new Caucasus map brings. The area covered by the map includes may diverse cultures and histories. Hopefully some of that flavor will be reflected in the new 2.5 map. A portion of the Novorossiysk base's runway is still visible in your image, BTW. I've outlined it on yellow, though you've probably spotted it yourself.

DarkFire Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Zooming in a bit further, looks like what used to be Myshako airfield has been re-purposed in to a residential area. Looks like one of the old hangers is now a gym & football pitches with some of what used to be the NE end of the runway being taken up by a road and the other side of the runway being parking for high-rise blocks of flats (apartments for our US friends).
