It it's just for the airfield layout and you don't care too much about
the surrounding land cover, then you could always pick it from our
Landcover-DB/MapServer. Take this one, for example:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=-97.03769&lat=32.89724&zoom=14&layers=0B0000TFFFFFFFFFFF

As an alternative, you could select Landsat-based satellite imagery as
a background and drop 'our' airfield layouts entirely - click on the
"+" sign to use the "LayerSwitcher" and you'll get here:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=-97.03769&lat=32.89724&zoom=14&layers=00B000FFFFFFFFFFFF

Vector outlines of our airfields are available via the Shapefile
download page - pick the 'apt_runway' and 'apt_tarmac' layers at:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/download.psp

Cheers,
