Actually I think you've got two different fields there SD.
First – (to the West) is the old Howard AFB - as TCF correctly says – now Aeropuerto ... ... Panama Pacifico.
Second (to the East) is I think, Marcos Gelabert "Intl" - the former Albrook Field.
About 5 miles apart, either side of the Panama Canal – Pacific entrance.
LFH.
ps thanks Dave, I was referring to El Wimbledon in the former British Honduras.

The ChitterneFlyer is correct. First photograph is Howard AFB, Panama Zone. The second photograph,although captioned as Howard/Balboa,is in fact Albrook Field CF has declared; Open House.

Thitu Island. Names are complicated around here, depending on where you are from.
Philippine: Pagasa, literally "hope" (part of the Kelayaan Islands)
Chinese:
Zhōngyè Dǎo ;
Vietnamese: Đảo Thị Tứ
Occupied by the Philippines since 1970
