To use local parlance: Ναί :)

It's not on any current list so it must be disused.

Suspect ex-US.

It was taken with a pretty standard pocket camera with a pretty decent built-in lens, so you're right in thinking we weren't all that high up. Not long before landing, to be fair. Might even have been seatbelts-on at that stage, but it was 2011 so can't exactly remember...

Hint: I think you might be missing the significance or meaning of one of my previously-given answers. You are so good at this stuff I can't make things easy :)

Sorry, I missed your previous comment as I was typing mine. Wikipedia tells me that it is still an active airfield, with possibly an active squadron or squadrons, but it's vague and might not have been updated recently, so I can't say with any certaintly I'm afraid. Popping out now for an hour or so. If nobody's got it on my return I might stop being so obtuse :)

In its admittedly-brief write up on this airfield, Wikipedia makes no mention of it being ex-US.

I don't think I missed a meaning.

It can't be very far from Athens.

You're right. It's not actually in Attica but very close.

You took the photo eight years ago.

I have found what might be it but it has been blurred/pixelated out in GE.

Schimatari

dook and oxenos seem to be neck-and-neck. Who'll be first with the name of the airfield??

I think he meant Tanagra.

Indeed - I have found it named as both - it is LGTG

I was thinking of giving it to oxenos with 'Schimitari', but seeing as this is 'Which Aerodrome?' not 'What's the name of the town in the photo?' I'm going to have to give it to dook. Tanagra it is. Quite a well-known airfield: I remember seeing it named in Military Aircraft markings back in my spotting days.

There is no way I am going to steal that from oxenos.

I'll leave it up to your gentlemanly instincts, dook. You were the first to name the airfield so my competitive instincts would be to claim it (but that's just me :) )

Thank you.

I will claim it if oxynos does not wish to or has nothing to post.

He seems to have disappeared

OK then...…

It does doesn't it.

But it's not in the USA Bear.

For he night/early shift, this airfield is across the pond.

Thanks, dook but I was not quick enough. Next time it goes open house I have another Greek one for you all. If I'm quick enough.

You will not need an OH if you identify another one correctly. :)

It's marked as disused; not USA so Canada? (or is that too far north?)

In response to the USA question by Bear, I said it's across the pond at post #16501.

Europe, and it is indeed disused.

But you said 'across the pond' which to some of us means North America.:{
So you meant 'across the pond' from NA!

Apologies.

Europe as stated and it was military.

This airfield is clearly visible on GE and a similar photograph on the web.

A friend who does not inhabit PPRuNe has found it.

Looks ex-Luftwaffe and with a cold war runway.

Not cold war.

Occupied by the Luftwaffe from 1940 to 1944, then liberated by the Americans who handed it back to the nation in 1945.

Ready for next question.

Looks like a fast jet base with that long stopway (the bit with chevrons) indicating it had arrestor barriers.
France?

There were fast jets there et oui pour France (et nord).

The last aircraft left in 2011 and the base finally closed the next year.

Dijon is North-ish France. Could it be there?

Sorry, I meant Tours St Symphorien. In the unlikely event that Dijon's right I'll take it, though :)

Good evening jensdad.

Dijon is closer. Go north with a bit of west about 150 miles.

This bottle is better for you than the one above.

Great clues there, dook.

Assuming statute miles, that would bring me to the neighbourhood of Reims-Champagne LFSR.

Pixilates on ZoomEarth as you get close but nice and clear on GE; just north of Reims near the village of Courcy.

I had to give some solid clues since it had been up for some time - I don't know why.

I42 gets it with Reims-Champagne.

Over to Calgary.
