People.

I am not able to post anything right now. My PC has died and I am using my wife's machine. Unfortunatley all my pictures are stored on my PC.

So open house from me until I am back on line.

Clint.

Looks like a clue may be in order . This airport was its nations capitals first and closed shortly after this picture, in 1955. The tower and terminal survive in alternative use.

Twochai was correct. San Jose Costa Rica. Sabana airport.
Apparently the terminal is now the National Art Gallery.

Good call and over to you.

OK, thanks OneEleven. It was a good guess, I'm afraid, although the local terrain with C-46's & DC-6's on the ramp were additional clues.

While I'm searching for a suitable candidate to post, I'll leave it as:

Smokeon -

Camden Central near Philadelphia - declined after Philly opened.
It struggled to survive after WW2
Closed in the late 50s
So, smokeon - put one up there !
