The L.F. Wade International Airport (formerly the Bermuda International Airport).
It's not so easy to see here, but the terminal buildings are painted in the same delightful colors as the other buildings in Bermuda.
This airfield began life as Kindley Field, a joint US Army Air Forces/Royal Air Force base, during World War II. The RAF forces in Bermuda were withdrawn at the end of the War. The local RAF Commander, however, stayed on, on loan to the Bermuda Government to convert the RAF facilities into the Civil Air Terminal. In 1948, Bermuda's civilian air service began operating through the airfield, which by then was run by the US Air Force as Kindley Air Force Base. In 1970, the field was transferred to the United States Navy, which operated it as US Naval Air Station Bermuda until 1995 when the field was transferred to the Bermuda Government. The field originally had three runways, but only the longest is still in use; it can support all aircraft sizes up to and including the Airbus A380. The airport was a NASA Space Shuttle launch abort site.
