Runway Layout

The field looks just like the training fields that surround the US Army Avn Trg Centre at Ft Rucker. They have about five (?) satellite fields with six tarmac lanes each to conduct high density circuit operations.

Given the newness of the tarmac, the presence of a (probably dark green) Blackhawk, and the sand everywhere, I'm going to float a guess that this is a new training airfield to be used by US Army aviators in Iraq or Afghanistan. Either that, or it's a Saudi or UAE training base.

Any other theories?
