Is this Wheelus AFB or Sidi Slimane Air Force base?

What Air Base is this? This is a segment from some of my father's 8mm movies from the 1954. It is sandwiched right between footage of Tripoli and Rabat, so I do not know if the air base pictured is Wheelus or Sidi Slimane. He was at both during that year,. He was in the 2d Periodic Maintenance Squadron maintaining bombers, but was reassigned to other units at Wheelus and Sidi Slimaine as needed. If any of you recognize the Air Base in this video footage and could tell me which base it is (or maybe parts of both??), that would be wonderful. Thank you.

Not Wheelus,I was at Wheelus Dec..66 June68.Worked in POL section. I had to ride the trash truck when 6 day war occoured and nationals were kept off base, not pleasant duty in that heat. There was a definite seperation between enlisted and dependents,they even closed the airmans club. Not much to do for an 18 year old but we did have some great football teams.

@1955lynnstewart - Thank you! Two other folks have messaged me privately saying that it looks like Sidi Slimane to them, based on the buildings and terrain, so I think that pretty much determines it. Thank you!
