That was my weekly stop all last year and will be starting again in the next week or two. I have spent too much time there.

I actually like DCA to be fair.

I am going with CPR but the smell thing throws me off. Haven't been there in awhile and I think there are cattle ranches near by but that's about it for me.

CPR is considerably north of SCE though. The hint was one degree south of SCE, which puts it about the latitude of GJT or DEN.

Given that, EGE would fit but again the smell thing....LOL. No real smell issues when I have been to EGE and the gate could sort of fit at least one area of EGE Also some snow on the ground fwiw.

I don't know the answer and don't have any guesses, but an aside: there are some fun photos of the Super Guppy landing at GJT. Never had heard of it before.
