Doesn't look used very much.

Not so much as of late, but still open. Actually had HS-125 corporate jet service back in the day. Photo was taken in 2005. Current image on Google Earth looks even less cared for.
|
Lots of silica sand around, and a hint of rapids in that dark stream. I'll guessing Africa, Angola perhaps.
|
I'm thinking outbackish.
|
Not Angola nor Australia.
|
Would this be the south east of France, by any chance ? |
Not on the European Continent.
|
In Canada? |
Not Canada, but the locale had a Canadian connection.
|
CHC or Okanagan helicopter operation? |
No, but I did find this gem of a photo taken at the mystery aerodrome:

Gave it away there, evansb. Canadian connection = Alcan; Alcan = British Guiana/Guyana. Mackenzie Airstrip. I knew there was something about that sand! Open House if correct. |
Maybe you should have airbrushed out serial number 34322.
A Google search brings up Watooka, Guyana. |

Checking on colour scheme. |
Thanks - now I'm with you.

My suggestion just shows how unreliable the web can be. :(

Re the USAF Piasecki H-21, my source says Mackenzie, British Guiana. Watooka, Linden and Mackenzie are served by the Linden-Mackenzie airport. It is now just the Linden airport. It was once known as just the Mackenzie airport. What was the USAF "flying Banana" doing in British Guiana anyway? I can speculate, but I have no facts to back me up.
FYI Watooka was a residential area of MacKenzie Guyana, named after Watooka Creek (an Amerindian name). |
It does seem to be a strange place for the USAF to have been.
Maybe it had something to do with the "constitutional coup". |
I'm waiting for a "non-regular" to post something.
