Which Aerodrome Mk II

[Mr_Grubby]

Airhopper.

There is no 'age' limit.

This looks a bit like the Falklands ?????

Clint.

[Airhopper]

Not really I am afraid. A bit further north and you would be going south again.

Canadian Forces Station Alert, CYLT, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut ?

[Airhopper]

Correct CYLT in July.

[evansb]

Thanks Airhopper. Remarkable locale. Alert is the farthest north permanent settlement in the world. Here is the next mystery location:

[evansb]

Clue time: Looking SSE, photo taken in 1949. Since the photo was taken, a parallel runway was added, one runway deleted, and one runway lengthened.

[Russell Gulch]

mmm... I'm not sure that clue helps!

Topography suggest North America. Lack of higher terrain suggests mid-west.

Somewhere near Omaha or Des Moines?

[seacue]

Are you sure about 1949? I would have guessed a somewhat earlier photo of Midway.

[con-pilot]

A real WAG, Laredo, Texas (KLRD)?

But then again, there are a bunch of airports just in Texas with that primary WWII style layout.

[evansb]

Yes, taken in 1949, and no not Laredo, but yes to Texas.

[Mr_Grubby]

Brooks City Base maybe ???

[evansb]

Sorry, not Brooks City Base. The mystery aerodrome has little if any military history. You are very close, however.

[StbdD]

Marfa, Texas?

[evansb]

Sorry, not Marfa. Here is a photo of the mystery airport from the early 1960s:

How about Alamo field - San Antonio ?

[evansb]

descol is correct KSAT. Remember the Alamo! Your turn.

[descol]

Thanks evansb - the terminal photo did it .
As its winter in this part of the world - here's a snow scene - I am not sure whether its been on the thread before - nevertheless - let's see if it can be spotted.
