Or completely opposite, Unalaska!
Open house if correct.

It's actually Dutch Harbour, the airport that serves Unalaska.

Open house then, as declared.

chevvron.

Temp must be due to all the hot air coming from the tower.

S*d the pictures of aerodromes.

It peaked at +27.4 deg at about 2 pm. Well my companion FISO for the day is an attractive young lady so not surprising.
Anyway that airport looks like Montserrat again but I've probably got that on the brain.

Chevrron,

You are in the right part of the world, but not Montserrat.

I've been to the larger islands but not smaller ones; Turks and Caicos group maybe, or St Vincent?

Not Saba,. Where else has hills next to the airfield?

I've been to (or seen) airports on Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, St Vincent, Carriacou, Union, St Lucia (night transit), Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Marie Galante, Terre-de-Haut, Antigua, St Bart's, St Martin/Maarten, St Kitts (day transit), St Croix, Puerto Rico (San Juan only), Punta Cana (DR), PAP (Haiti), Governors Harbour (Eluthera)....

I don't think it's one of those.

Edited to say that maybe it's Bequia after all. I've only seen that airport on Google Earth.

Is it Bequia???

Wow !! guys.

You are all so close. I have had to get my school boys atlas out to check the places.

But no to all the places.

Wild guess: La Desirade adjacent to Guadeloupe.

OPEN HOUSE in the very unlikely event that I am correct.
