Hear Ye! Hear Ye! 

Let us assemble once again, to honour Yastreb, who, largely by dint of haiku, evil puns and other such notable wordsmithing, has come to claim an abandoned airport!  (Do tell us which one, so that we may inscribe it upon the roll of honour on the first post of this thread.)


Now, bring on the cake!

Abandoned airports? Well, this I didn't expect! Is there a list of those already claimed? Any criteria I need to know about in choosing one?

The list is in the very first post in this thread.  (I put it under a spoiler when I created the list - mebbe I should unspoiler it now?)
As far as which airport you might claim as your own, any previously unconquered airport (airfield/spaceport/zeppelin field etc) will do, it doesn't have to be your 'local'.

Zeppelin field...

I choose Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport, Brazil. It has an intact hangar that was intended to house LZ-129 Graf Zeppelin.

The Airport has been inscribed to your name, Yastreb.
And I got intrigued by the listing of cakes, so have procured for you your very own 'bolo de rolo', enjoy!

Yastreb,
I am sorry I missed your celebration (was off-line for a bit). Though it looks like Wave presented you with a most amazing Cake.

If it is not too late, I shall present one also
Bolo de Rolo de Pão de Mel


and because I was late a fancy one
