I was browsing the pics at FlightAware and found this shot. Anyone have any idea what field this is?

Spent alot of time on Diego and thats defiantly not the airbase .Sure looks alot like Johnston Atoll, south of Hawaii to me though. Spent a few weeks there as well 10 years ago and the picture has a very simalar layout as i remember it

Stock Johnston Atol sucketh just as much as Diego Garcia, lol. Bar the Learjet AI and the big tanks are a good idea.

Thanks trans, downloaded that. I think I like the airbase barren for WW II shots. I use Johnson Atoll a lot for screens of Pacific Theater aircraft.
