Thumbs up

STL - You have the green light.
Arcata/Eureka
It was one of the foggiest areas on the Pacific Coast. As a result FIDO was installed. The FIDO pipes were still visible but disconnected, in shallow ditches off the runway edges, in '78/'81.

I've been to a number of the Comonwealth islands in the Caribbean and this doesn't look like any I visited. Not Tobago, Grenada, Carriacou, Bequia, Union, St Vincent, St Kitts. Don't think it is either airport on Dominica.

Could it be Canouan, quite a few years ago?

If not, at least somewhere in the Grenadines...

Not the Solomon Islands but you are in the right part of the world.

The Fiji Islands is correct, but this is an island within the Fiji group.
