This aerodrome has been used before but at a much-different era.

Not in Texas. Sorry.

Pardon the delay in answering, I didn't get much sleep last night so dozed off.

Not in California.

Google Earth shows that this terminal building still exists, but it is quite a distance from the aerodrome's present terminal.

Edited to add:

Not in North America

Almost 12 hours of quiet. Time for a hint. I fear it will be too easy after this.

This aerodrome is in the southern hemisphere.

Not that I can find the building, but is it what is now Rodríguez Ballón International Airport, Arequipa, Peru?

Thanks seacue. Good challenge. I'm just a bit impatient when I know the location. Here is the next mystery aerodrome. The photo doesn't offer much, but I'm sure it won't last long.

one11 is spot on I thought a Mexican airport would be appropriate for Cinco de Mayo. Your turn.

I'll have to declare Open House this time, due to being offline travelling .....although the latest wave of Icelandic Ash could change all that.
Cheers Doug

I'm sure there's a clue in there somewhere, but I'm going for Villavicencio Colombia.

barry,

I hope my flipant remark to Doug doesn't miss lead us.

I was refering to his travel plans and Iceland.

This place is many miles from Iceland and Columbia.
