Need location Id for this B-52 picture

[Nathan]

I have this photo in my collection. I don't know the location and was wondering if anyone here would know?

Could be any SAC base in the middle of nowhere, but judging by the background (or lack of), I know it's not Fairchild, Griffiss, W-P.

An educated guess is Larson at Moses Lake, Washington.
That's where the AF took delivery if factory-fresh 52s.
What they did there I there I don't know i w..it may have been simple post production "despite-bugging", or it may have Ben for the installation of GFE, or a WWII-style modification center.

The built a 8- bay hangar which still stands. The base also housed a B-52 unit through the mid 60s when the base was closed, which coincidently (or not) a couple of years after the last B-52 was delivered.

I was born at Larson when my dad was flying C-124s. Some of my earliest memories are hearing the jets run up their engines late at night...which explains why the work wasn't done at Boeing Field.

Castle is another possibility- but just a guess. Castle was an early B-52 training site, and has several large rectangular pads and similar light stands. If the photo was taken from the north or south you would not see the hills to the east.
