Can anyone help, where is this airfield?

Thanks Barry, fingers crossed they will reply but from experience they do take their time!!

This Airfield has now been identified over on the Key Publishing Aviation forums in the Historic Aviation section - I won't steal the thunder from Plough who identified it, but it is an impressive piece of detective work.

Thank goodness for that. This thread has been driving me nuts. Well done to whoever Plough is.

I hope plough does't mind but I thought I'd quote his reply on here;

I have found several airfields in the former Eastern Bloc which have a similar layout to that in the photograph, but after some hours of searching found this one which looks a very close match to me. What do the rest of you think

The aptly named Stupino Airfield, Russia.

Thanks alot for everyones help, it really was driving me up the wall and I did wonder if it was ever going to be identified!

Definitely a Bingo!

And judging by the fully leafed trees, summer (ish). Long shadows say early morning or late evening lead me to think its approx a 06/24 or 07/25 runway alignment.....

Corsairoz. 15th March. Spot on!

Plough:

Congratulations on a wonderful piece of research - well done.

Thank heavens somebody sorted that out

[barry lloyd]

Yes, congratulations all round, but stupido in my case, because I know I've been there. It's south of Moscow, and when I was there it was a MiG 29 base. Mind you, it was mid-winter and there was snow everywhere, so not instantly recognisable in normal weather!

Help. Where is this airfield

I landed here in the 70th and I am now making a video of our xc flight.

Roughly where was it? South western USA I imagine...

Reminds me a little of Catalina though clearly not.

I thought it could have been Sedona. I mean, it was in the early seventies that I landed there. I looked up Sedona couple of weeks ago and of course it looks different now.

It is Sedona - here's a similar view on Google Maps!

Does look a bit more developed now!
