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.

San Julián Air Base, Cuba
I knew the picture would give it away. You didn't need the overhead on 15th October 1962, or the image of Castro at the airbase in 1959.
If you look around on GE, there seem to be aircraft abandoned all over the place, and a line-up of 10 aircraft with seemingly no access to the runway, and they have been there since 2005, when the gate guard turned around and then was removed - there on 1/5, gone by 30/5.
Open House has been declared

Wouldn't it be great if the Google car had driven down the runways and taxiways! In my hunt for the correct airfield I discovered the airfields of Puerto Rico and Jamaica. I had an interesting afternoon achieving nothing.

op55 - coudn't agree more, although this time a simple image search worked wonders, try - "Control Tower" pink 1950s
This one is a bit more recent:
The aerodrome can be seen behind the fence on the left

Hen Ddraig is quite correct, so as requested Open House.
It may not have lasted long and my technical ineptitude may have helped make it easier but at least I have now learnt how to post a pic.

There is a lot of info on the web about this aircraft (42-63393) named, as Hen Ddraig states, 'Rush Order'. Apparently so named because it flew its first operational mission only 15 days after leaving the factory.
It even has its own website here
As a matter of interest, some sources on the web quote Chiung-Lai (A-5), China or Chengtu, China as the location of the picture.

Open House!!!!!!!!!
I think it was embassy staff plus a few rich locals who bribed their way out rather than just CIA. I Remember the film of them landing on an aircraft carrier, then the pilot took off and jumped out leaving the helicopter to its own devices.
