OK, I'm an idiot (big surprise)<br>
<br>
I forgot to use the {'} and {"} marks. Makes a difference,<br>
<br>
Never mind.<br>
<br>
But the decimal conversion is right!! (I think) <br>
<br>
Their photo also makes it appear that the runway has been extended to
the SW from what show on the Google Earth image. Still neat that we
can fire up Google Earth and see the field.<br>

I found that the field is not located at the coordinates shown on the
F3A webpage (the FAI page)<br>
<br>
On Google Earth the field is centered on 39 degrees 53.187' N 8
degrees 38.929' W<br>
<br>
Enter as 39 53.187 -8 38.929<br>
<br>
Nice looking field. ~900 x 55 main runway with a 430x50 foot cross
runway. All paved.<br>
<br>
The website says 1,000 meters but that is not what Google Earth
measures off.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, cool looking site. Good luck to the Team!!<br>
