That's a Garuda of course at Battam roundabout

on the challenge the cars look American - so in the Americas?

And it looks horribly like a Skyvan back right

Not the Americas - it could be a skyvan !

Looks like a Connie freighter or fire-bomber...?

Not OZ - not sure if it's a Connie - C54 !

NOSEWHEELS look Connie...?

Obviously not a Blackbushe one then; the US Navy base closed long before Skyvans were built!

It looks suspiciously like Port Moresby (AYPY) to me.

OH if correct.
