Could someone please advise me what the standard reference directory is for listing USA airfields. I took a photo of an airfield from 33,00ft recently whilst flying Seatlle to Chicago (AA868) and I would like to identify the airfield in question.
It was a 2 runway airfield next to a sizeable town in (I guess) the Montana/South Dakota area, as it was about half way into the flight.

Like finding a needle in a haystack - practically every town in the US has an airfield. You will need a 1:500000 VFR sectional chart or an AF/D (Airport Facilities Directory) to help you.

I was thinking more along the lines of a USA equivalent of the Pooley's Directory, albeit in a about 20 volumes for the american version !
Don't think it was disused, but hard to tell. Having thought about it further, it was past the point (flying eastwards) that you see the lakes/river Misssouri snaking away southwards. In that case, we're looking at North Dakota.
I can e-mail a photo to anyone who likes a challenge !
May be someone knows an American Airlines pilot who could help ?
