I’ve seen this happen before, I think it was in or near the Pyrenees. Actually it was Mboliasa FZBT, Basango Mboliasa Airport in the town of Kiri in the DRC, close lol.
One long building in the game, if it weren’t for all those air conditioners I could have landed
Also looks to be no longer in use, although no street view here
