Harmon it is. Well done nvubu, you have control.
Harmon AFB was closed in 1949 and was merged with the neighboring Naval Air Station Agana, which is now the civil airport.

I've always been able to see Terry's images previously - just checked some previous ones, they are OK. I use IE normally.
In Edge Firefox, Opera & Chrome the images are OK
I had wondered if it is one of Microsoft's "upgrades" where they are trying to force you to use Edge by removing capability in IE - YouTube videos no longer work for me in IE either.

The lack of images is wierd. I did exactly as I had done before and linked to images in my dropbox, so it appears to be a browser issue.
Next time I will try uploding to a PPRuNe album and linking there.
When I access PPRuNe via Safari I also only see question marks. However when I access via Firefox I can see the full images.

I only get a question mark instead of a photo when someone tries to post the photo using Photobucket.

Not PNG.
The C54 was carrying high priority personnel, medical equipment and supplies. On the return trip to Guam they carried wounded patients.

Six hours in a C54 would be around 1,200/1,300 miles. About right for either Okinawa or Manila. Yontan on Okinawa was the first airfield captured by the Allies. It's no longer in use but the broad avenue in its place has a hill behind it that closely resembles the one in nvubu's photo.

Thanks nvubu and I have to declare Open House. You provided a few super clues, without which I'd never have been able to get near a solution. Six hours from Guam and the usual cargo back and forth could have applied equally to Yokinawa or Manila. I wasn't too sure abut my dates - Okinawa v Philippines - but suspected that extraction of the wounded to Guam would more likely have been from Japan's islands than from SE Asia.
After posting Yontan I went back to Gurgle and had a great disappointment: searched for "C54 Yontan" and came up with a derivative of your image challenge. Which of course knocked all the air out of awaiting your confirmation or not of my earlier guess.
Again< Open House
