Which Aerodrome Mk III
Hello siftydog,
Im sorry, not Portugal. Try a bit further west.
Edit, I wonder if you were thinking of Santa Cruz? Nice field with friendly folks.

The baseball diamond (and the slanted parking bays) would indeed suggest an American influence, but not the locations you propose, chevvron.
The "X" at the right of the runway indicates the close of the runway at the east, but it originally extended west passed the asphalt cross-road in the left (west) of the picture. Surface is and was un paved.

Former Voc-Tech Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada. I've been to Las Vegas and I don't consider it paradise. Fun, yes, but I found it too touristy and "a bit" phony. Also, the aerodrome is located more than "a bit" west of Portugal, unless of course by "a bit" you mean 5,452 miles. Anyway, thank you for a truly challenging mystery aerodrome. I enjoyed it.

slanted parking bays.???
All the bays I can see are square on....
Also I can not see a X at either end of the dirt strip....
My IQ is in double figures, (JUST)......

You are correct, evansb. YHC.
By Paradise I meant what is now a suburb of Las Vegas of that name, close by to this airfield.
Voc-Tech was operated by the Southern Nevada Vocational Technical Center.

Sorry, I've run out of historic & nostalgic aerodrome photos for the moment..
