Which Aerodrome?
EvansB has it (as I thought he would if he were online). For the past 40 years or more Abbotsford has been home to Canada's largest airshow. (BTW: Abbotford is the answer to the trivia question: Where did the last Vulcan flying display take place outside the UK?"). The "pink" F5 is an aggressor aircraft.
As EB and others familiar with CYXX know, most photos of the airport instantly give away it's identity, thanks to the proximity of beautiful (and volcanic) Mt. Baker.
You have control EvansB!

A slight correction on Grangemouth. Although most of the airfield has been built on, the two hangars shown in the photo still stand and are visible on Google earth etc at 56 00 48N 003 42 22W or click here. Even stranger is that they now stand on Abbotsinch Road.

Doug
JENKINS,
Nice try but New Mexico is not the location of this Fulcrum's temporary base. I suspect Holloman would look a little more desert-like as well.
This airfield is a fighter base.
All will be revealed about the dandelions in due course.
Here's another view, perhaps taken from the red and white tower:

Two bases come to mind. First is Miramar, but I don't remember the red and white tower and I used to operate there a lot in the past.
Second is NAS Fallon, a pure guess as it has been decades since I was there.
Could be Nellis, but not enough moutains in the background. However, that could be because of the direction the photos were taken.
