Not sure it's the right airport, feels like HK
photo from construction
it's an area with mountains or hills in the surroundings. Why i was looking for photos of airports to get a visual on and HK has featured prominently so far in other aspects at least and it does have some in it's area. Will dig a bit more later today unless one of you fine anons get there before me.
Also trying to see if with the flight registration we could tie govt people to a particular flight. The photo exif data has a ICC profile date from 2016 so maybe that might narrow it down around then?
