Then it should be easy as we can eliminate all Airports already covered!

The search indicates that it has not been done before...….so it's easy now...…..

In view of the posts above, I should point out that this aerodrome may have been done before. However, it's a nice picture:

I suspect that's Fishermans Bend in Melbourne Australia.
Not there anymore though. OH if so.

I knew it wouldn't last long. Fishermans Bend airfield and the CAC factory on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne. Long gone - an industrial area now, where Holden engines were built until GMH ceased production in 2017.

Charlie has declared Open House

Try this one as it’s open house.

Railway, Grid street layout, maybe a running track or horse racing, hottish climate?
Somewhere in the southern USA?

I just Goggled "old airfield on bend in river".

Up comes an image from the other direction which states that it's Perth / Maylands, but it doesn't quite look right so maybe not.

Maylands in Perth is correct. Darn, you guys are good!

Well, I'm certainly not one of them.

  1. Started googling photos of Twotters
  2. Noticed that very few have a black radome and spotted some black nosed Twotters with reeeallly big windows (which, when looking closer, was the same on your photo) of Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines.
  3. Came across this photo https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8264426 of the mountain ridge with a dent or two, which was the same as on your photo (just above the open Caravan door) indicating Grand Canyon West Airport as a very likely candidate.
  4. Narrowed down the search and came across this photo https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/6281904 -> bingo on the building :)
