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.

Well the aircraft is an Embraer 135/140/145. The terrain looks North American as does the red/white water tower this side of the field. The size of the terminal does not seem to match the size and number of runways and there appears to be a large freight hub (maybe disused) on this side of the field. There also seems to be a lack of aircraft in view.
That's as far as I have got.
Edit: Dayton Ohio James M Cox. OH if correct.

Cgb,
Yes, Tacloban. I snapped the picture from a BBC World News bulletin.
Such a devastating event. Just before landfall, the winds were 170 kts, gusting to 200 kts. The central pressure was 858 mb!
Here in Vietnam, we were lucky. The typhoon intensity decayed very rapidly over the South China Sea and it then tracked further north than predicted and by the time it made landfall, it was a tropical storm. Still a lot of damage though, but not on the same scale as Leyte.
One of our frequent posters on AH&N, Phileas Fogg, lives on an island southeast of Leyte. I sent him a PM the day after the typhoon struck to see if he was OK and much to my surprise, got an almost immediate response. He and his resort had survived, but one of the words he used to describe the experience was "frightening".
Cgb has control.

So many have perished or suffered far worse however our electricity "browned out" before midnight and there was I in the horizontal rain repeatedly trying to 'rip cord' start the generator before I finally got it going and I spent much of the night up, to the effect, "If this ship is going down then I'm going to be there at the helm".
Alas all we suffered were damages to our fences, indeed we took in two additional French guests at the 11th hour (they were frightened where they were staying) and one of these guys actually slept through the super typhoon so well constructed are our accommodations of my design.
But, hey, Leyte is the place that has been f*cked, this super typhoon just gave me/us one hell of a lovebite as it went past, please concentrate on Leyte, we're already back up and running again.
God bless
Has everyone fallen off the edge of the world? 
(this self-portrait is in Wickford, Connecticut, and is NOT part of the challenge, since even the rickets-ridden legs or bony spine cannot be assumed to be any part of a runway). If no response in a further 3 days, can someone please tell my Mum?

Not Alaska, but correct country.
If I said further south, that wouldn't be any help at all
Clue2: It was built after the 41-45 war (sic). After it became initially disused in the '70s, the runway was used for drag racing.

Clue 3:
It's in a State beginning with U and near a town beginning with M and ending in oab.
The field was constructed immediately after the war to assist with uranium exploration & extraction. This was on requisitioned Bureau of Land Management land (so one Govt department requisitioned it from another....the Yanks are good at that type of thing.)
In the 70's the jurisdiction was returned to BLM, but the field still exists as you see; almost usable. All buildings have gone, leaving just their foundations. My understanding is that the land rights are now passed to a local college, so there might be some educational benefit to someone.
The town has now expanded to almost encompass the airfield.

Russell,
I've been offline for the weekend, but after your generous clue of Moab Utah, I had to have a go, but it was still surprisingly difficult.
When you first posted, like JENKINS, I thought it might be Alaska or possibly the Yukon.
However, after a Google Earth search, I'll go for a view of the La Sal mountains from the old runway, north of Spanish Fork Airport, southeast of Moab

dash7fan,
An Austrian Metro but with a Swiss Venom in the background. Are we in Switzerland?
