What was confusing me was that that appears to be an aeroplane just to the right of the large white building in the centre foreground, but there was no runway. Google-mapping zelda's answer (how did you do that, btw?) shows that yes, there's a random aeroplane sitting outside the white building (the building is a museum, the plane is part of it).
