Which Aerodrome?

Lydda it is Jenkins, now Lod airport. You have it.
Mention in despatches to Max Tow for identifying the Short Scion and airline despite my subtle (?) alterations.

Is it Oklahoma City Airport ?
The two hangars in the picture are still there and being used. In fact I was based in both of them at different times.
Both pictures are hanging on a wall in my office. The first picture was damaged by water when a tornado brushed the hangar and removed a section of the roof.
In the front hangar a Jet Commander I was flying actually fell through the hangar floor, well the left main gear did. Fortunately it stopped before the wing or fuselage contacted the floor. It took us a while to get it out of the hole. After that happened the floors in both hangars were replaced.

Thank you Evan.
At first I though your posted airport was Dade-Collier KTNT, but realized that it is the Space Shuttle Landing Area at Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, I think.

Not sure if you can get one of these into Goma, with the lava and all.
Guess its not a good photo, was taken from my islander taxiing past. Lots of goons around so had to be subtle, they from 'da shoot first' area of the world.
Try this, same place.
ps about a dozen of these An-2's in various states lying around

It is a good year or two since I was in Kinshasa but I seem to remember the land being very flat around both airports. It looks like somewhere over in the east, I will have a stab at Bukavu-Kavumu.
