You got it, I figured that anyone that had operated in Beijing just before the Olympics would recognize the airport.

That photo was taken about a year before the Olympics. I am also sure it was taken the day after we landed, as all the white paint was still white. When we left three weeks later it was brown on all the upper facing surfaces because of all the air pollution.

For some reason I believe that the airport in question is in California and was used in the making of a movie in the 30's. One clue is the golf course.

(Probably totally wrong.)

[Mr_Grubby]

Con-pilot.

No, not California but certainly the US of A.

Gotta be the US just check the railroad trucks

[Mr_Grubby]

Ok, a clue.

It predates a much larger airport with the same name, though not in the same State.

No, not California but certainly the US of A.

Okay, great then.

I was totally wrong.

[con-pilot]

This airport shares its name with a great sea battle.

Huh, Chicago Midway, KMDW?

KMDW was not named for the Battle, but because it is located about midway across the US.
