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.

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 ?

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.

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

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!)
