Regarding KHME, I'm of the thought that this is not a US owned/operated station, due to the fact that it is distributed under an Iranian WMO header. The letters used would make sense if the site was named in honor of one of their supreme leaders, but that bit is conjecture on my part. For KNOZ, on the google maps link Ken sent, I think the maker is in the correct place(zoom out to see it), but the zoomed in satellite imagery on google maps is out of date (or has been digitally altered,) Zooming out to a sufficent level shows the new airfield construction very close to the marker location. If you have an ArcOnline acct you should be able to view more recent (or unaltered) small scale imagery to see the airfield. I think the maker location is also the same that was distributed in a FAA facilities database update a year or two ago. -Eric On Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 11:51 AM, Ken Waters - National Weather Service < ken.waters@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > KNOZ is actually closer to Yuma and is a new auxiliary airfield opened by > the USMC folks at MCAS Yuma.
