Burtonwood?
If Correct, OH
LXXIV

No, not Burtonwood.

Time for a clue?
This disused strip lies just 3 mile east of a major international airport.

Russ.

Portugal, more precisely, near Lisbon?

Hello siftydog,
Im sorry, not Portugal. Try a bit further west.

Edit, I wonder if you were thinking of Santa Cruz? Nice field with friendly folks.

The baseball diamond would indicate an American influence; Bermuda or Azores?

The baseball diamond (and the slanted parking bays) would indeed suggest an American influence, but not the locations you propose, chevvron.

The "X" at the right of the runway indicates the close of the runway at the east, but it originally extended west passed the asphalt cross-road in the left (west) of the picture. Surface is and was un paved.

Still is a paradaise.

popito You know it! Paradise indeed.

I bet that if siftydog looks close to home he would Boulder home with the answer, or even Hoover up the prize!

Former Voc-Tech Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada. I've been to Las Vegas and I don't consider it paradise. Fun, yes, but I found it too touristy and "a bit" phony. Also, the aerodrome is located more than "a bit" west of Portugal, unless of course by "a bit" you mean 5,452 miles. Anyway, thank you for a truly challenging mystery aerodrome. I enjoyed it.

slanted parking bays.???
 

All the bays I can see are square on....

Also I can not see a X at either end of the dirt strip....

My IQ is in double figures, (JUST)......

You are correct, evansb. YHC.

By Paradise I meant what is now a suburb of Las Vegas of that name, close by to this airfield.

Voc-Tech was operated by the Southern Nevada Vocational Technical Center.

Sorry, I've run out of historic & nostalgic aerodrome photos for the moment..

Hilo, Hawaii?

Sorry, not Hawaii. Not in the Pacific Ocean.

Northern Europe?

Not northern Europe. Not Europe.

City --- ?? Where'd it go eb?

Yes, the airport pictured serves a city with a population of just over 500,000.
The city was originally settled by northern Europeans.
