I fear this will be a hard one. More hints will follow:


Hint #1: This field is home to a feeder airline with 50 to 100 aircraft.
Hint #2: FedEx flies to this airport.
Hint #3: The nearest city is a bit over half the size of its namesake in Wiltshire.

Tiger Mate, you got it. I guess my latest hint made it too easy.

They got a grant to repave the main runway this summer. Too many weeds growing through the cracks.

I don't have any other pictures right now.

That's definitely hotted-up!

Vertical sun .... are we equatorial? The terminal building is ringing a bell, but not loud enough to wake the remembery!

Tropical, not equatorial.
This terminal is too new to be nostalgic and thus probably not appropriate. The field has been there for long enough to excite nostalgia.

Western hemisphere, northern hemisphere, bien sur.

Andros Island?

If so.............is the floorless station wagon taxi still in service there?

The one with a child riding mechanic who fills the radiator every few miles?

Not Andros - which I contend is not really in the Caribbean

Farther south.

The Baron is correct! PTP / TFFR Pole Caraibes airport Guadeloupe. Sorry I didn't have a picture of the old terminal which was pretty nondescript.
ThreadBaron has control.
