David, you're pretty close to the hint. Actually, the airline in question does not, and indeed has never offered, scheduled commercial flights to this destination.

Lol, I was going to say it was BUF.... though I'm thinking that was in fact the original idea behind #3 as the pic came up in the search 2.gif

That looks like a really good guess, randy60s, but it's not in New England... now I'm confused. 

Edit; Oh... I just realized that by "NE" The Hutt must have meant NorthEast... not New England. I am no longer confused.

Yeah, it's Lehigh Valley. Southwest doesn't fly there, but the one shown was actually a charter.

Correct, #2 is St John's and #3 is Algiers.

#1 is up for grabs - it's a tough one.

Because it's the only other airport that has a runway 3/21 that has been shortened from it's original length and width and would have (jagged) mountains in the back. The western US hint was useless because you could tell decicively that it was US from runway markings and lighting, and that it was a narrow band between northern Wyoming and Canada with such mountains. From there it just involves searching United Express, Delta Express, and Fontier Express destinations for an airport with matching runway alignment and matching topography. Though, beyond that, it was a crapshoot if you searched United Destinations and came up with GTF: airport_runway.jpg and 250px-P1000441.JPG or Delta destinations and came up with the correct answer 2.gif Edit: on a second look, it looks like the pic showing the mountains above is in fact showing down 3 rather than 21...giving the wrong alignment.

I'm back. The last one was indeed Potacello.

I'm guessing #1 is Congonhas, Sao Paulo.

#2 is Canada...Calgary or Edmonton I think? I forget.

EDIT: I checked, it's Calgary.

#1 somewhere in Spain, South America, or Mexico I would guess. That one is kind of tough.

Good job. I was afraid that CGH would be tough.... not the case.

Edit: The_Hutt was correct with CGH and YYC
