Maybe MCI? That seems like an E175 airport.

Good idea but not DFW - would think there'd be more trees.

Not ORD - would think you'd see not only the perimeter fence but also the immediate development and businesses.

Alas, not MCI either. Good thought given the openness.

And, yes, the A/C was a E175.

Here's a less wider shot - see if this helps:

Umm. Neither. Location is domestic and nearer to one of you than the other.

I dunno, I think outskirts of ORD over that way look a bit rural — but anyway, clearly that's not it!

Given that you were at DFW mid-afternoon on an A319 (first photo) and are somewhere else on an E175 around sunset (second photo), I think that means you went through IAH and took the second photo within two hours flying time of there. Can we assume you left TX? If so potential options might be TUL, OKC, LIT (eliminated), MSY (no), or other smaller outstations that I don't think have ramp space of that size. So of the limited options, I guess it looks most like TUL?[revised, see edit]

Or am I way off base?


edit: after a quick poke around with flight schedules, it looks like IAH-TUL evening flight is served by CRJ and IAH-OKC is served by ERJ, so I amend my guess to OKC.

You're overthinking it. And it's not OKC or TUL. Take a look at the horizon on the second image.

Ok, last guess on this one for a while. IAH in that open area south of A/B looking west?
