Greetings from MOZ where it's totally unsuitable for cold weather testing.

Lots of coastal Canada isn't that consistently cold. And given it's Concorde, I doubt if the northern/Arctic airfields are long enough. It'd have to be a military Cold War-era field so i'll guess the airfield in question is Goose Bay.(YYR).
