What is this airport

Does anyone recognise this airport.

Multimedia Gallery

Bottom row middle pic

has a single runway 17/35 looks to be about 6000' long, has parallel taxiways on both sides and aprons on both sides which is quite unusual. The airport sits next to a freeway. By the lush vegetation looks like Virginia or an eastern state.

Its a close match but not the one.

Leesburg has only 1 parallel taxiway.

Reason I', asking is my misus has made the Cessna pic my wall paper so i;m staring at it all day and its bugging me not knowing where it is.

My first thought was KCHO, but that's not it. Try posting it on the "Where on earth" thread in JB. Sabredog will nail it.

the first airport I checked was charlottesville (KCHO)...but the runway came up 21/3.

my old computer...proving that I am really a cheap airline pilot, won't display the picture...if it could be posted in another way it might help me anyway.

roanoke and manassas come to mind but I haven't checked.

Roanoke has a crossing runway and Manassas has a parallel runway so not them.

7Stroke, it's got non-precision approach markings so scratch everything with an ILS. The taxiways are like [ ] along each side with 3 crossing taxiways going straight across towards the north end where the ramps are.

KOWP, Sand Springs, Oklahoma. (I know, looks like too many trees. Why they are there on a X photo-shoot is another question; not far from Wichita, perhaps?)

It's about 110 nm. I haven't a clue; it may be that a really good photographer works out of there.

It's Sand Springs, OK. Photog maybe Paul Bowen, he works out of KICT and exclusively does aerial work. Great guy, BTW..
