Caribbean? Crushed coral? |

No - not the Caribbean unless they get regular snow........................ |
So we are looking for an airport with a large apron, blue skies and a low fence. perhaps with one plane spotter visible from Google earth? That’s easy! |
It was a war time (WW2) airfield that became a scheduled international airfield after WW2. The first airline flights operated both German & US aircraft run by the same, foreign, airline
|
Oshkosh Winconsin? |
I don't think many German passenger aircraft were operating in the US after WW2 or that foreign airlines have ever operated to Oshkosh..........

German built aircraft just after WW2 can only be JU-52? We are in Europe? SLB |
Was one of the aircraft the Ford Trimotor ?
Northwest Airways ? |
Merrill Field ?

Germany ?....

Not Germany - this place still operates but it was closed to airline traffic when another, newer airport opened

No, not Finland - it also changed its name while still a military airfield -
this challenge is fun................... I'm off out for an hour or so guys |
If I had not seen the crossed runways in the photo Asturias posted, I might have suggested the former Munich airfield.
|
As stated above not Germany - the US Navy once had a small presence here for a while.................. this place has had a far more interesting history than I ever thought TBH
It has also been associated with other modes of transport - I think I've beaten my previous record!! |
