It isn't on Wadke either, but you are moving slowly closer to the airfield.
Edit to add: Yes, still in use, although it looks to have changed so much that there is nothing from an current overhead that shows anything lining up with the two aerial images I have seen from ww2. So maybe name only still in use.

Neither of those two, Merauka is slightly further away than Wakde.
It isn't on Papua - here's an aerial from before any of the other images

Edit to add: Crossed posted with SLB, yes it is Sepinggang Balikpapan. You have control

Africa it is - here's another picture (but not as good as some previous efforts..) - this spot has the occasional international flight but its mainly domestic

I think not North Africa.
I will stab for East Africa as Asturias does (or has) flown
there.
Edit:
The no parking sign says Botswana?

Alas, alack Sultan! Although the terminal is somewhat similar to that at Ghanzi, which is an interesting spot in it's own right, it's not. Ghanzi is sat in the middle of the Kalahari Desert which is rather flat. The challenge has some rather large mountains nearby.
Bear is much closer over on the other side of the continent
