Well, all the clues seem to point to Van Nuys but it doesn't look like Van Nuys.

Lordflasheart 9th May 2012 12:14

Oly is correct - it ISN'T Van Nuys, but it is a general aviation field. Want some more clues ? LFH

Whiteman Airport?

Lordflasheart 9th May 2012 18:27

Not Whiteman, Hippo. It's way west of Whiteman too.

This place has two paved runways and the view is looking east, on the main. They claim it's home to about 1000 GA aircraft and has in excess of >500 movements a day, but that's several years old. I will post another view in an hour or so when I can sort the technology. LFH

A murky view of the field in the opposite direction - looking west.

Is it not in the USA?

Lordflasheart 9th May 2012 21:56

It certainly is in the USA, Hippo. That's the FAA tower half way down on the left side of Runway 7. (In the first photo - white tower standing above the reddish colored building.) You gotta look further than CA. Final clues in the am ? LFH

Merrill Field, Anchorage, Alaska.

Open House if correct!

Lordflasheart 10th May 2012 07:00

You got it C2j. :ok: Merrill Field, downtown Anchorage, AK.

30 degrees west of Burbank. Where the folks "look down on the other four dozen." ;)

Open House. LFH

Good one LFH ... Here's one I prepared earlier (whe I though I was right with Whiteman :*)

If it's Burma, maybe they're just about to get buried.

descol 10th May 2012 17:47

India perhaps ?

sabredog 10th May 2012 18:20

Descol.
Not India, but quite warm in one respect, though not climatically!

Jenkins.
Not Israel,neither is it Kai Tak.

Well reasoned guesses though.

olympus 10th May 2012 18:39

Somewhere in Japan?

Possibly Iwakuni?

Scrub Iwakuni, I'll go for Miho.

sycamore 10th May 2012 19:01

Possibly 32 or 208 Sdn,possibly in Cyprus ,or Palestine ,1947-8...?

sabredog 10th May 2012 19:03

Correct.
R.I.A.F. at Miho,Japan.
