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.

Not Nellis.
The guy in the photo is looking to the NW. The airfield was somewhat shortlived and no trace remains today. It did however have a brief period of widespread exposure.
The place from where the picture was taken was even more shortlived.

Don't know if this helps at all but it is factually correct to say that at no time during its brief existence did this this airfield have a working control tower.

The old airport, Rancho Conejo Airport in Newbury Park. It is just west of Wildwood Park in Thousand Oaks, CA. Used in the film "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

That's the one, it was known as Rancho Conejo.
The pic was a still from the film and is possibly slightly unfair. A 'tower' was built on the field but had no glass and was only used as a camera base for filming the flying stunts and the scene where the controller is hanging off the side. The gentleman in the pic was actually on a set in a studio miles away with a genuine image of the airfield back projected.
You have it.

It is Shenington once known as RAF Edgehill. Edgehill was selected as the base for flight tests of the Gloster E28/39 Pioneer W4041 - the Whittle jet due to its proximity to the manufacturer's Gloster and Power jets. TheChitterneFlyer has declared Open House.
