Name This Airport

Can you figure out which airport this is? Your hints are it's somewhere in the lower 48 states.

No one has taken a shot.

Here is another hint. Florida Panhandle.

Okay, with that clue I'll try Tallahassee.

Okaloosa Regional, approaching from the north. WAG!

I suppose it's tuff to figure this one out. Most of the panhandle looks the same.

Another hint. This is facing west.

That rules out Okaloosa then!
Also rules out Panama City.

Is it private or public?

I would say Pensacola, but there's not enough water showing in your image in front of the runway. US Airways Express does fly there from CLT.

Tom's guess at Tallahassee is pretty good though. Hard to tell, but I'm looking at the Terraserver aerial images and trying to match up the landmarks. Way different perspective.

OK, it's Tallahassee - TLH. I just checked the full-sized image at PBase.

That thing that I thought was a lake or river looks more like a retention pond at a sewage treatment plant. It's rectangular anyway - the shape is clear on the full image, as it is on terraserver.com.

Very good, it's Tallahassee.

Belmondo was first, but I am thinking he just guessed .

Good eye TomW. Are you from that area?

BTW, that photo was taken one day after tropical storm Arlene blew through. Florida is more hot and humid than I could imagine. I spent the night in Tallahassee and it was my first time in Florida during the summer. I can see why the snowbirds travel back north. There were lots of pretty clouds though. I bet it wouldn't be too hard to get some nice thunderstorm over swamp landscape pics. I have to start bringing my tripod on trips.

No, I'm from Cleveland, Ohio (HAP for the flyers) originally. Moved to Chattanooga 4 years ago for a job change.

It took a bit of digging on my part, with some help from Airnav.com and the terraserver link on that site. I studied at about 6 aerial/satellite photos before I decided to look at the full image you had on PBase. Once I saw the shape of that water pond/pool, I recognized it on the satellite image.

Do you ever fly into Chattanooga? Nice little airport, but I think UPS and FedEx land more aircraft here than the airlines.

Never!!!

Unless I can trade it for something about 300 mm in length, with f/2.8 aperture.

I'm not even sure what I'd do with all that lens, considering I've had a rash of consumer-grade buyeritis lately (just snagged a 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 for the lightweight kit).
