evansb has it! Yes - not to be confused with the other Walker AAF base in Virginia (previously set). The Kansas base was used for B29 training amongst other things. Obviously an encyclopaedic knowledge of the NA cotinent where he lives! You have control sir.

Sorry, not Bagotville, Quebec. Still too far east. Bagotville has been done before, (by me actually, with a fly-by photo of Canadian built Hurricanes..., yet another superfluity).
Yes, India Four Two, they are Northrop F(P)-61 Black Widows. Perhaps a strong nor-wester is pushing them, but that would not be a true Chinook wind, would it? The hills visible in the distance have been described as peaceful.
Here is another clue:

I was quite distracted by the photo of the Sea Hornet (aaaah - de Havilland) and I'm not sure about your clue, but it looks like it might be Ft. St. John, BC (in the "Peace River Country").

India Four Two is correct
Fort Saint John, British Columbia, Canada. (CYXJ). The airfield, big enough to accomodate four-engined bombers, was built near the Alaska Highway, and was part of the Northwest Staging Route during WW.II. For those who don't know, the route provided aerodromes for military aircraft ferried from the U.S. to Russia during WW.II. Simon has control.

This won't last long, but it is a nice picture:
Not Bagotville.
