Pombal, Portugal - F3A WC Arial View
I thought you guys would enjoy seeing this. I went to the Pombal, Portugal flying site in Goggle Earth and drew a box overlay. The darker triangle is 150 meters out; the lighter is 175 meters out.
According to the WC [link=http://www.fpam.pt/WCF3A09/Informations/airfield.php]web site[/link] the runway has been lengthened since the Google photo, but it's still quite good enough to give a good perspective.

Hi there,
From Bulletin 4 very good news indeed for 2.4GHz users:
FREQUENCIES
The allowed frequencies for radio control model aircraft in Portugal run from 35,010 MHz to 35,200
MHz and. During the World Championship and ten days before the beginning of the event, from
12th to 21st August, 2,4 GHz with 100mW will also be allowed. Other frequencies may be used at
each competitor’s own risk. The transmitters with 2,4 GHz system will not be impounded during
the event. All the other transmitters must be impounded in the competition days at 08,30 am.

Brian,
In the first picture look in the top right corner and you'll see a circle with an 'N' indicating north.
Regarding the two flight lines, I really have no idea where the pilot will stand or how many flight lines they have. I just slapped a box overlay on this to get a perspective of what the flying area is. I wasn't trying to create anything official.
