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.

Try this one:
Clue number 2:
75% - must try harder!
Lockheed - tick.
Electra - tick.
America - tick.
South - wrong.

Not Alaska.
Yes, Airspray is based in Chico but also somewhere else. Look it up.

Near is a relative term, but this location is certainly closer to Red Deer than Alaska is.
Clue number 3.
This photo was taken during a flood. The water level is not normally this high.

Nobody else seems to be up for this challenge, so may I ask for some more clarification?
North America seems pretty certain.....?
Western side of the continent and therefore the Rocky Mountains.....?
If the Rockies, it looks more like the Eastern side of them because they get close to the Ocean on the west and there can't be many rivers like that.
You pointed me towards the other base for AirSpray, so does that make it Canada?

WIDN62,
Yes, it’s Canada and it’s a river, although to be fair, in the last picture, you are looking at a lake on the river.
BTW, the mountains are not “The Rockies”, although I know that term is used generically in Western North America.

Well done kewbick.
I’m surprised it lasted so long.
The mountains behind the Electra, to the west, are part of the Monashee Mountains and the ones in the last picture are the Selkirk Mountains to the east of Revelstoke. The river is the Columbia which at this point is flowing into Upper Arrow Lake.
kewbick has control.

I now know why it looked vaguely familiar. We had an awful night there a couple of years ago. The hotel put us in a room at the back to be away from the traffic - unfortunately it faced the railroad and we spent the night listening to the squeal of metal as the freight trains trundled through!
I know the feeling! I live 100 m from a fairly busy railway line near Calgary, with three level-crossings nearby. If I’ve been away, I wake up several times a night to the sound of locomotive horns approaching the crossings.
It takes about a week before I can sleep through the noise!
