A couple bases you might want to add (I've been there).

Price Sultan Airbase at Al Kharj -Can't quite remember the spelling...we call it Al's Garage-
and Dharhan
Shaikh Isa on the southern tip of Bahrain as well.

Al-Kharaj is correct. Its about 100 Km from my home in Riyadh. Riyadh it self has an airbase mostly used for C-130's/C-140's, Galaxy and T-37 trainers..
There is one air-base near/next to the city of Taif. I have seen Tornados flying there.
Let me know if i can help you guys with any more info, I grew up in Saudia and my family still lives there

Hey yes if you could help us with one issue. Check this following image

In the lower-left part of the map in Saudi Arabia you'll see large area without any features (roads/rivers/citys)... is this true, is there really a such large wasteland type of desert region?

yes indeed it is true. That area is called Ruba al Khali i.e the Empty Quarter..It is realy huge vast piece of plain desert with nothing in it..just some roads maybe connecting to bunch of small towns down to the south/south-west..
