Talk:Mitiga International Airport

comment
There seems to be a major error in this article

There seems to be confusion between Mitega airport http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Mitiga+Airport,+Libya&sll=32.693566,13.186684&sspn=0.066598,0.131836&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FfjV7wEd-snKAA&split=0&hq=&hnear=Mitiga+Airport,+Libya&z=16

and the former wheelus airforce base on the coast http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Tarabulus+Airport,+%E1%B9%ACar%C4%81bulus,+Libya&sll=32.895876,13.280411&sspn=0.033224,0.065918&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FZHq9QEdKZPKAA&split=0&hq=&hnear=Tarabulus+Airport,+%E1%B9%ACar%C4%81bulus,+Libya&z=13

the co ordinates are all wrong

This article mentions 4 runways: 03/21 & 11/29. Looking at Google it seems to be 10/28 rather than 11/29. And 03/21 does not seem to be an active runways at all, more like a taxiway or parking. Anyone can confirm? Gentleman wiki (talk) 20:14, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm looking at a very recent Google Earth photo and there's only one runway: 10/28. Strangely I do see a barely visible "29" next to the "28", as if it has been scratched off. I don't see an "11" next to the "10" at the other end. 03/21 seems to be decommissioned. Also this reference only lists 10/28. And this reference notes the following: "RWY NOW AT MTG airport RWY 10-28". Gentleman wiki (talk) 15:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
