Khamis Mushait has a 12,400ft paved runway. The base was designed and built by US Army and Air Force engineers in the 1960s and 70s.

Khamis Mushait is one of the 6 main Saudi Air Force bases.  At Khamis Mushait are F-15C/D, F-15S (a slightly downgraded F-15E strike variant.

Your coordinates are for south-western Saudi Arabia. They fly primarily U.S. planes, but that looks like a russian Mig-29 or an Su-27. I can't see it well enough to tell exactly.
