Where am I?

We have had very sucessfull 'which cockpit' and 'name the plane' threads, so for a bit of fun I thought I would try a 'Where am I?' thread. Here is my proposal:

Despite the obvious clues, it is not mainland USA. The clues are there to see though.

Not Antigua, not airbridges there. My guess, Grantly Adams, Barbados.

DC Driver gets it.

It is the new terminal building at Montego Bay, Jamaica. Mon 8 Nov.
Air Jamaica colours baggage cart in the middle, and high ground overlooking the airport. All the ground support vehicles there are now lime green.

Can you follow it up DC?

Well, I'll try! Can't work out how to get the photo to display as you have Tiger_mate, but here's the link:




A bit cloudy here, as it often is, but there are enough boreal clues...


Tiger: I've cracked it at last! thanks

Vancouver? Or is that too northern?

Trying to think of charter rather than scheduled destination.

DCD -I think you clicked on 'insert link' (small globe) rather than 'insert image' (yellow picture) as your post has 'URL' tags and not 'image' tags.

You can go back and edit for a try? Just 'hover' the mouse over the icon to see which one is which.
