Midland, TX? We did a set of HGS approaches there - flattest field I've ever seen. Only reason we went there was that one of our pilots had done his basic there.

Sorry ICT SLB, but I must call that A "missed approach" Keith ????

Well it's been 48 hours, some excellent posts, maybe time for some hints ?

1. Picture taken in 1943.

2. Closed as AFB 1945.

3. Opened as civil 1947.

4. Closed again by 1970.

5. By 2004, 5 hangars and a small amount of runway survive.

While looking for details of Boeing's private field in Montana, I came across Malta Airport with an aerial view that looks like it only has 5 hangers....

By the time you're awake, Keith, I'll be sleeping so...

P.S. There are only 50 states and two territories (American Samoa & Puerto Rico).
