Not UK. The presence of 'barracks' would indicate a military connection but the parked aircraft appear to be civil.

Which one there is two??

I think it's fair to assume that the airfield in the foreground is the one in question! As for which one... there ARE two; not IS two!

I'll open the bidding with Canada... St Lawrence Seaway area?

Not Southampton and not the St Lawrence. There are two airfields and I will happily accept either the smaller field in the foreground or the larger one in the background.

I thought the further one might be NAS Patuxent River but I can't find a match for the other airfield on satellite photos.

Not NAS Pax River, but you're in the right country.

Destin Airport, Florida. Beyond is Eglin AFB.

evansb has it. Destin in the foreground and Eglin AFB aka Northwest Florida Regional Airport in the distance. Eglin has been home to a large number of very noisy F35 Lightning IIs for some time now.

You have control

Thank you Hen Ddraig. Here is an aerodrome not on the list:

Ex RAF Thorney Island
Former Beverley and herc base

Oops had lat long at the bottom of the pic!!

main runway is now a huge scrappie

Yes, it is RAF Thorney Island. In the past, protocol dictated one was to wait for confirmation before posting a new challenge.

buttrick has control.

buttricks challenge would appear to be RAF Folkingham near Sleaford, Lincs.

Hen ddraig has the con

Remains of the Thor site gave it away I expect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Folkingham

Recognised Folkingham from having flown over it in early February.
On the road South to Sun'n'fun at the moment and can't access photobucket for some reason so I regret I will have to declare open house.

A new one.

A unique airfield

Don Muang Airport, Bangkok, Thailand.

sorry for Delay.
Yes the famous hold for the golf course!!

You have the con Evansb

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...psfcc3ec43.jpg

USA ?.....

Yes. U.S.A..

West of the Mississippi, east of the Rockies?

The mystery location is west of the Great Continental Divide.

.


.???

Great continental divide in the USA = the line of the Rockies from the Canadian border to the Mexican border.

HD

It also continues north of the border, where it's referred to as The Great Divide or The Continental Divide, but I don't think I've ever heard it referred to, using both adjectives.

evansb can probably see it from his window!

Further thread drift - at the summit of the Kicking Horse Pass near Lake Louise, Alberta, you can see the aptly named Dividing Creek. Some of the water flows west, via the Columbia River into the Pacific and some flows east into the Bow River and eventually ends up in Hudson's bay.

Looking at the clues, anywhere near Washington ?

LM

As it is west of the Continental Divide Continental Divide of the Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I assume that you mean Washington State rather than DC? Judging by the parched landscape I would suggest that it is further south/inland than Washington State.

Dave

Airclues,

A lot of Washington state is in the rain shadow of the Cascades and is almost desert. I know, I've driven across it!

With regard to the mystery aerodrome, there is an awful lot of concrete and tarmac to the left of the displaced threshold. I wonder what triggered that shift?

Well, I meant Washington state.


Goggled "washington state airports" and bingo.


Try it.

Spokane Intl. Airport




OH if correct

Easy then wunnit.

dash7fan is correct. Spokane International Airport, (KGEG), Geiger Field.

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

clues required:

Why the grid in the floor of the hush house?

Perhaps downward facing jet exhaust?
Looks neat and tidy... where did the US built AV-8s get engine tested?

Shape of the pan to the left suggests UK; burn marks suggest twin jets side by side eg Jaguar, Typhoon, Tornado.

That looks to me like the "Home of the Harrier" RAF Wittering

HD

Yes got it now; about 300m NW of 08 threshold.
(I looked at Cottesmore, Conngsby, Leeeming, and a few others; never occured to me to look at Witters!)
