Try this long shot. No extra point for the aircraft.

Crikey, you guys are good. I struggled to see the airfield, let alone identify it!

I did have a ride in a Buccaneer in my CCF youth, yonks ago. What's the hole for?

Believe it to be the Boulder, Colorado (International) municipal airiport. Where I learned to fly. More than one airplane ended up a bit short of Heyden lake just off the end of runway 26. Sorry, nothing to post if I'm right.

Great thread!

Pardon the delay. I've been away from the PC all day.

S B Glenn has it 100% correct, Boulder, Colorado, KBDU (I think).

I think the floor has been declared OPEN.
