That is correct. Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa. This was one of the last two bases to have operational SR-71 Blackbirds. I was not to far away at MCAS Futenma at the time. There was a fair amount of ice cold Japanese beer involved. Now, did you look that up or what? When I helped paint that Batman logo, that building was NOT a parking garage. How they turned a regular building into a parking garage - I will never know - but it's a parking garage, now.
Ahh, good to know where it is. If I am riding in someone else’s car, I am oblivious to where I am.
Just for fun, I’ll list some wild-a$$ed guesses but only for remote godforsaken armpit airports that I have been to. I suspect our target pic is landlocked, whereas all my guesses are surrounded by water: I bet some of our other posters have enjoyed these delights.
No, ma'am. It is not any of these. You are correct on landlocked.
Okay. Those jets over on the left don't look like they've ever landed on a carrier, there aren't any helicopters around, and that is a really nice concrete runway that is probably 10,000 feet long if it's an inch, so it's an Air Force base.
Not Creech or Tinker, but there are MQ-9's at this base. I'll do one more hint and if no one can answer, I'll spill the beans.Okay.

Creech has a runway 13/31, but you can also see mountains from there. I was thinking that it was Tinker (been there) but those aren't Boeing tails, so I am at a loss. I do like how somebody put their tandem gear right on the numeral 1. That's hard to do, even if you're trying. Cool photo.
Still, I thought I would post my thought process.
C-130s. There's actually two models of the 130 over there. Does that give enough info to make another guess?
