And some of those runways are LONG! Later on the Space Shuttle runway length requirement was reduced, allowing more ECALs to be included, but they're mostly interesting airfields anyway.

Talking of spacecraft and long runways:

Mojave Air and Space Port - KMHV

A random mixture:

Westchester County - KHPN (New York)
Umea City - ESNU (Sweden)
and two near Washington DC:
Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility (Andrews AFB) - KADW
Leesburg Executive Airport at Godfrey Field - KJYO

2 more from the Paris region,
Creil AB and Pontoise
Creil is blured out on Google, so not the most accurate outline, but still you get the general idee :-)

Three for the Toronto area:

Toronto Downsview - CYZD
Toronto City Billy Bishop - CYTZ plus an outline of the islands around it
Toronto Buttonville Municipal - CYKZ

There's another fairly busy GA airport in the area - Brampton CNC3, but it's really too fiddly for me to do it justice. Perhaps Vonsmalhausen fancies another challenge!

I've done a new outline for RAF Cosford - EGWC, including the RAF Museum buildings. It's now apparently officially called Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering Cosford. I'm sure everyone calls it that.

Three Japanese airports. We're getting ground returns from the first, and the others are nearby.

Kitakyushu - RJFR
Yamaguchi Ube - RJDC
Oita - RJFO

here it is CNC3 Brampton, not my best outline, but the zoom restrictions in the area does not allow much better, and even then it took me several houres to make it, aldo it was'nd my hardest one up to now :-).

Here is the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst with two main airbase-type elements:

McGuire AFB - KWRI
Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station - KNEL

Lakehurst was the airship base where the Hindenburg crashed (I've marked the memorial), and is now the home of "Aircraft Platform Interface" research and testing which I think means carrier take-offs and landings, possibly including rough-field operations. I think the fan arrangement bit is for sled-testing.

I'm getting slightly higher-res these days:

Rick Husband Amarillo International - KAMA (Texas - another very long runway, and used a couple of times by the NASA Space Shuttle Carrier)
