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
Dora-9,
There were several JP aerobatic teams in the late 60s, but I don't think I ever saw more than a four-ship.
PS I've always had a great deal of respect for pilots flying formation aerobatics in low-powered aircraft, doubly so since I put a couple of hours on a Vampire T11 a few years ago, which is a positive rocket-ship (another 1000 lb of thrust, but admittedly heavier) compared to a Tutor or JP 4.

Bloody Hell Chevron - that was quick!
Punta Arenas it is - and windswept indeed tho' the lounge does a very decent Pisco Sour and the staff are most helpful
You see some very interesting planes there heading south - or South to be correct
Over to you

Well that was a lucky guess! I was torn between Punta Arenas and Ushuaia and got lucky.
Where is this large chap? He's a canny way from home.
Apologies a) if I haven't attached the attachment correctly. Tech isn't my strong point. And b) for the lack of an historical or nostalgic angle. Haven't got a massive collection of photos to choose from!

Very impressive and rugged mountains. If the C-130 is a long way from home, how about somewhere in the Alps?
Any vampires nearby? I don't mean the DH kind!

Nope, not the Julian Alps. Nor are they the 'Alps' that you are thinking of, I42, although this airfield does see quite regular commercial services to that neck of the woods.

The Transylvanian Alps are the ones I assumed I42 was referring to with the vampires question, so no, they are not those particular 'Alps' and not Timisoara. But the airfield does have service to Romania.
Not Trabzon either!

Heathrow Harry, those fuel tanks do indeed look neat and tidy, but (to introduce an historical angle) some of the other local architecture isn't quite so well-constructed.
Dinaric Alps?
