Contest #322 answer: Colonel James Jabara Airport, Wichita, Kansas
This must have been the most cited airport in the news last week, when a Boeing Dreamlifter managed to land here in stead of at the McConnell Air Force Base, a few miles further south.
Fortunately the plane managed to take off again, despite the short runway, but not after Boeing sent a tow truck to put it in the right take-off position

Contest #320 answer: Wewelsburg Castle, Büren, Germany
First of all: sorry for the inconveniences regarding this contest.
I had to do it from my iPad and as it turned out, the WordPress app is far from bug-free. The schedule function did not work properly and as a result the hint was not published until today, when I fired up the app again.
It is the Wewelsburg Castle in Germany. Again a triangular castle, constructed in the early 1600’s and acted in WWII as the headquarters of the SS
The castle is said to have been the inspiration for the Wolfenstein games.
Those who played in real life:
