Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Which Aerodrome Mk III
LM, You thunk right. 
I guess it's a moot point whether Pensacola is on the East or South Coast.
NAS Pensacola 1914 - 99 years old!
Several Curtiss Model Fs and two Model Es. One of those is probably the first USN aircraft, serial A1.

Pensacola it is - Well done. Apparently 1916. On what I believe is generally referred to as "the Gulf Coast."
I42 - A1 ? Is that a knowledgeable presumption or are you able to say which one is so marked ? If the latter, did you get it from another pic or from sharpening this one ?
I suspect the view below (1918) is in the opposite direction but possibly taken from around the same spot.
Lightning Mate has control.

LFH,
I missed a hyphen. See here:
Curtiss Model E - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps the second aircraft in your picture?

I've just found this marvellous video of a replica flying:
From what I've read and looking at the pictures, the original A-1 was " a headless E" in that it didn't have the canard foreplane, unlike the replica.

Mel,
I saw this one the other day and thought, that would be a good one for What Aerodrome, but I can't remember the name!
Somewhere in the mid-west, judging by the section-line roads. Naval, I think.

I42 not MidWest more westerly than that I would say and was not a Naval air Field. At the time the photograph was taken it was an Army Air Field.

Can only be Washington then.
I have open in front of me a database of all WW2 army air bases and nothing has come up for Washington.
Going back for a further look....

It is in Washington State but not Walla Walla. The airfield has a different name to the one it had when the photograph was taken.
I see the "sticky" listing What cockpit, which Aerodrome etc has been removed.
