Definately Keevil. I go there every week and the tower still stands. Left to right OLY 419 RAFGSA 86, Grunau Baby, OLY 2B RAFGSA 253 and T.21 either RAFGSA 236 or 282.

Strictly speaking, Al, the 419 is GSA 249 (I think, I'll have a look when I get home), but BGA Comp no. 86. One in which I spent several happy hours. I last saw it on top of the Mynd, still in the trailer we built at Yatesbury in 1964. The Oly 2 is comp. no. 134, in which I flew my first competition, and adopted the competition number when I became a private owner.

We have plenty of images of aerodromes from the air and terminals from the outside. Here is an image from inside a terminal ... with at least a taxiway and part of a runway visible. This aerodrome has been used once before. It should be easy.

Correct country, wrong side. This a much-larger terminal.
Edited to add: This airport has more runways, and many more gates and passengers than KSJC.

Nowhere near as large as KORD. Try farther east.
Edited to add: This aerodrome has very little international traffic, which uses a nearby airport. The two airports have about the same number of passengers per year.

Very good, Cows. This is a small portion of the Southwest Airlines area of KBWI, Baltimore/Washington. WN (including Airtran) has over 25 gates at the airport and over 50% of the passengers. Together they have about 214 departures per day.

Southwest does not have a "hub" anywhere. They call them "focus" cities. Just the name is different. Chicago Midway is one of Southwests major "focus" cities. Baltimore is another. Many flights in the east stop at Baltimore on their way to an ultimate destination.
I have traveled KBWI to and from Hollywood / Ft Lauderdale in the past year. WN272 which I used returning KFLL to KBWI a couple of weeks ago routes:
KFLL-KBWI
KBWI-KSTL
KSTL-KTPA
Ft Lauderdale to Tampa via Baltimore and St Louis. The "focus" at KBWI is great for me since I live near BWI and I can get non-stops to 30 or 40 cities on WN.
Cows has declared Open House.
