Default Which airport was this bit done?

YouTube - Top Gear - Ken Block - July 5th 2009

Wonder if anyone recognizes this airport (I could probably figure it out) but there was what was probably an Empire FedEx van so I'm curious if anyone was there around that time. Good show anyway.

Yeah picked up on that, although figuring out the spelling wasn't a success the first time, wondering if anybody saw this, or knows who owned the airplanes used as cones?
