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
Correct! A very interesting history it has, too. Joe Stalin used to admire his air force from there. The photo was taken in 1991 from a 125 we were demonstrating. We were following the site of the MKAD, Moscow's equivalent of the M25!

I didn't realize that Tushino had closed.
Try this. I took this picture last year.

Harry,
Not all of it is flat!
However, to be fair, this aerodrome is in a mostly flat part of the country.
A clue to its location is that there is no scheduled jet service. I was very surprised to see an Airbus on the ramp as we joined the circuit.

Why is it that in all the films/TV you see they are able to zoom in on a photo and read the words even though they are only one pixel tall in the original.
Doesn't work in the real world. I've tried with the hangar, and the name is still a blue blob
Guess it says Aviation - no real help then

Sorry about that nvubu. My iPhone 6s has a very impressive camera, but it does have its limits.
However, you can make out the airline's name - does that help?
The cloud and the platform in front of the nose are related clues.
PS I just looked at my original. I don't think I'm giving anything away to say that the name on the hangar is "Esso Aviation".

HH, I think your tongue must be firmly in your cheek again! The small city adjacent to this airport has almost the population of the IOW.
The cloud is a Cb. What comes out of them and "impacts"
airworthiness?

dixi188,
Yes, it's Lethbridge CYQL. We landed there to clear customs while returning from Oshkosh. We had to overnight due to thunderstorms between there and Calgary.
The Airbus had been there since the previous day, after it had diverted from Calgary:

You have control
PS Sorry for any confusion caused by overlapping posts. There are some spectacular pictures in the Calgary Herald link.

FYI Lethbridge DOES have a scheduled service - three a day according to this
Lethbridge Airport: Lethbridge Airport
But I'd never have got it from the picture ...............

I followed others leads and started east of the Rockies around Calgary and found Lethbridge first. Just luck really.
Sorry, nothing to post at the moment. I must sort out my boxes of slides.
OH.

When the A320 arrived, they had to improvise to get the passengers off:
I've discovered that Air Canada wants to charge me $350 for a one-way 30 minute flight! I wonder what the loads are like.
