I am pretty sure this is correct. If you look at the location you will see the airfield. Go to google paramino and click on the pictures, you will see Seki-Qislak . The little town north of it is Kish. The northern suburb of Saki is Nukha and the southern is Qislak (russified as Kislyk). In 1941 they were small towns but the settled part of the valley was also called Kish-Khislak.
I have done my home work and research on place names and study maps of that time period. If someone tells me they are looking for airfields around Baku I don’t look for them in Armenia (Lenkoran), or Turkmenistan.

There are three airfields at Baku: Bina, Gala, Zabrat.
Here is my list of Azerbaijan airfields I have been able to identify:

Like my search for Tyrkovo airfield, it took a while but I did my home work, I even asked you friend Doug Stankey who gave me a location 5 km to west. When I asked my friend (who lives in St. Petersburg) he looked it up:
“I've only found one mention of it from a reference to a priest from this village executed in 1937. This is about 25 km to the southwest of Luga. It is called Tyrkovo-Toroshkovich… http://wikimapia.org/#lat=58.5036501&lon=29.7966385&z=13&l=0&m=b&search =58.5036501N%2C%2029.7966385E “

But the name changed after the war, as often happened in parts of the Soviet Union that were war torn (Town/village destroyed, inhabitants all dead or never returned) It is now called Gorodets.
