Hello So just to explain a few things... MIngaladon is a suburb of Yangon. It's a huge zone that encompasses the airport itself but also a large chunk of the surrounding area. It's mostly military camps and government owned businesses as well as residential areas. The 'Flying Training Centre' is west of the airport on the other side of a busy dual carriageway with no access to the airport itself. The aircraft there appear to be on display in a museum type setting but with access only to presumably students(Although I will be working on this when I return in october) The Fantan is obviously pole mounted but there is also an MA-60 and an ERJ alongside. Alongside the hangars themselves is a line of Nanchang CJ-6s, Pilatus PC-7, Piston Provost and at least 3 helis, 2 of which are Hueys of some sort. On Google Earth there is also an Islander visible but I didn't see this personally as I only had a brief chance to stop on a bend in our taxi and snap a few pics over the high wall. Kind regards, Andy
