A short answer to that would be "practically all of them". It's in the nature of airfields that it's almost impossible to obliterate all traces of one from the air, even if the runways have been dug up and restored to agriculture.

The Willis & Hollis book lists 654 airfields and I must have looked at almost all of those on GE over the years.
