Which Aerodrome Mk II

[evansb]

Thank you Mr Grubby. A brilliant challenge, by the way! Here is the next challenge:

[evansb]

Clue time. The aerodrome was closed after WW.II, and reactivated in the early 1950s. The aerodrome is no longer, but a few buildings and other structures are visible on Google Earth.

Spitballing here but..... USAAC training station in Texas or the western US. USAF in 51-53 for Korea build up.

Large parade field suggests a basic training/commissioning station. Distance from ramps to runways suggests it was designed for multi-engines. The 2 layer hangaring scheme is interesting for a war expansion field tho. Not the norm.

A navigator/bombardier training field?

Just some ideas. Not playing 'is it bigger than a breadbox' and no answer required.

[evansb]

It was a Service Flying Training School from 1941 to 1945. It served as a Basic Flying Training school from 1951 to 1958. Sorry, it is not located in the United States.
