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.

Congrats Asturias! Bonn-Hangelar it is...
This has been quite an important airfield (and it was Bonn city's airfield before the war) during the last months of the war and was home to the infamous "Wilde Sau" system JG300 and JG301 squadrons...Those were daylight single engine fighters sent to down the bombers at night under ground control...Loss rate was impressive, the pilots of these aircraft being not at ease with instrument/night flying, and the weather at night end of 44 was...not good for aircraft without any icing protection...
Asturias you have the helm!

Yes - a bit like trying to fly Spitfire at night- not a great idea
Lets go somewhere else although this too had more than its fair share of bombing

If we mean the East yes as opposed to the Pacific Ocean sensu stricto - WW2 yes, but it has seen action at other times as well

I assume the airfield is at the bottom and the aeroplane is bombing shipping, or he's not a very good shot !
Anywhere near New Britain or the Solomans ?

Ahh let's see
Yes they were probably attacking ships - as well as the airfield - there is a port close by and more or less off the end of the runway centre-line
I couldn't say it is in PNG - but close (-ish)
Not Vietnam or Cambodia
I don't think it ever had international flights but it was a busy enough spot some days

And to think they operated Hunters there....
