Balboa / Howard AFB (BLB)


Open House if correct.

Actually I think you've got two different fields there SD.

First – (to the West) is the old Howard AFB - as TCF correctly says – now Aeropuerto ... ... Panama Pacifico.

Second (to the East) is I think, Marcos Gelabert "Intl" - the former Albrook Field.

About 5 miles apart, either side of the Panama Canal – Pacific entrance.

LFH.

ps thanks Dave, I was referring to El Wimbledon in the former British Honduras. :)

The ChitterneFlyer is correct. First photograph is Howard AFB, Panama Zone.
The second photograph,although captioned as Howard/Balboa,is in fact Albrook Field
CF has declared;
Open House.

Thitu Island. Names are complicated around here, depending on where you are from.

Philippine: Pagasa, literally "hope" (part of the Kelayaan Islands)
Chinese: Zhōngyè Dǎo;
Vietnamese: Đảo Thị Tứ

Occupied by the Philippines since 1970

Time for a hint.

That bright strip on the horizon (just above the bushes) is ocean.

seacue 3rd Jul 2012 14:29

Another hint: Atlantic Ocean

seacue 3rd Jul 2012 15:21
