A new Colorado mixed-use airfield:

Colorado Springs (City of Colorado Springs Municipal) and Peterson Air Force Base - KCOS

I can't remember why this Aussie outback airfield was on my to-do list - I've never seen returns from round here, but there's a new GE image so here it is:

Tennant Creek - YTNK

I've been waiting for the extended runway at Macedonia to be completed, but I guess I might be waiting a long time, so with a new GE image showing little if any progress, I've done this replacement anyway:

Thessaloniki Macedonia International - LGTS

Civil to the north, mil to the south.

Another new Russian RadarBox is setting up in the far east:

Komsomolsk-on-Amur Dzemgi - UHKD

Air Force field with a big Sukhoi plant - home of the Superjet 100 and lots of Su-27s on the hardstandings, and several historic aircraft on display.

RadarBox doesn't know about it - nearest "known" airport is UHHH - head about 180 miles (270km) northeast.

Another imminent RadarBox, this time in Kazakhstan:

Kostanay Narimanovka - UAUU

The GE image is from 2006, and shows over 60 An-2s lined up neatly. I imagine they're still there.

For no particular reason, a new Oregon outline:

Salem Municipal, McNary Field - KSLE

A mixed-use field, with the Oregon Army National Guard base to the northeast, and Garmin's aviation navigation HQ building to the southeast (home of their GPS and ADS-B development).

And another new Oregon outline:

Tillamook - KTMK - known to RadarBox as S47

The old Naval Air Station blimp hangar is is the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world, and now home to the Tillamook Air Museum, many of the aircraft there being owned by Jack Erickson of Erickson Air Crane.

Another new Oregon outline:

Hood River Ken Jernstedt - 4S2

Interesting little ga airport because it is home to the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (to the north) which has a large collection of 1930s single-engine types.

Radarbox knows about 4S2 but doesn't have the runway.

And another:

Hillsboro - KHIO

Busy GA airport. On the day the GE image was taken the Hillsboro International Air Show was on, and the aircraft of the Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum, whose hangar is the second one in the south-west corner, were out for an airing. Worth a look if you're interested.
