Midland, TX? We did a set of HGS approaches there - flattest field I've ever seen. Only reason we went there was that one of our pilots had done his basic there.

Well it's been 48 hours, some excellent posts, maybe time for some hints ?

1. Picture taken in 1943.

2. Closed as AFB 1945.

3. Opened as civil 1947.

4. Closed again by 1970.

5. By 2004, 5 hangars and a small amount of runway survive.

Keith ????

While looking for details of Boeing's private field in Montana, I came across Malta Airport with an aerial view that looks like it only has 5 hangers....

By the time you're awake, Keith, I'll be sleeping so...

P.S. There are only 50 states and two territories (American Samoa & Puerto Rico).
