It must be Heaven! Planes & boats so close together!

I'd be tempted to say it's on the Friesian Islands, but I don't recognize it from my trips there.

lots further south and nowhere near the sea.............

Lachen, Switzerland Eastern end of lake Zurich.
Recognised it immediately. Took me a couple of hours to remember where it was.
Brilliant place in the summer but b cold in winter.
Quite amazing how big the swiss navy is now.

Time to spare, go by air

Quite correct, Lachen it is. On the West bank of the Zurich See.
Well done.

Staying nautical, would you like to try this one?
It has a three and four letter code.....

Ah, glassy water landings - the anticipation of the floats touching the water. You're always higher than you think!

How about Lake Hood (PALH/LHD)?

Just perfect.
All yours

Thanks OF.

I knew there were a lot of float planes in Alaska, but I was amazed by these statistics in Wikipedia:

Now for the next airfield, nothing nautical about this one:

Hi Brian,

Yes, I had just discovered that myself. I thought it looked familiar!

Open House.

Greenham Common

Looks like it but a LONG way away . . .

The cars, trucks, minivans and motorhomes look very American, so the question is "Where in the US is there a pink Jaguar?"

Good dectective work India. And a very good question, if slightly re-worded . . .

Ah, yes. Thanks for the hint, grizzled.

Now that I've taken off my pink-tinted glasses, I see I should have said "Where in the US is there a pink F-5?"

And it was only yesterday, that I was looking at two of them! :\

Edited to add: F5s that is, not pink ones. The ones I was looking at were in a three-tone scheme of brown, green and corrosion.

NAS Fallon?

SHN, too many trees and too much grass for Nevada I think. My guess is further north, possibly eastern Washington or Idaho.

SHN - does look like a gatheirng at NAS Fallon, but I42 is correct that it's a tad further north.

Figuring out why the F5 is painted that way will lead you to its role and where it's based. But not to where it was parked on that day . . .

Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada (CYXX). Here is an earlier photo from RCAF Abbotsford, looking ESE.
