Description:
Stauning is a small airport located in Jutland, close to the north sea. There is not much commercial traffic at the airport, but there is a fine museum with lots of old airplanes;
KZ, saab draken, gliders, a spitfire... Many of them are still operationel, and are taken for a flight from time to another, mostly in the summertime, as far as I know.
Also, this airport hosts the annual KZ-rally, which is a small, but still exiting and fun airshow. This event takes place sometime i June, and many people fly to Stauning from eg. Germany, Sweden, Norway and UK in their private planes to participate og just watch the show. An old DC-3, own by a group called "DC-3 vennerne" (Danish Dakota Friends), also visits til field at this occation.
The two hangar-like buildings in the west end of the airport is the museum of Vestjysk veteranflysamling (West-jutlands Vintage Aircraft collection). The old planes taxi on the grass from the museum to the small grass-strip which I've marked with barrels when they are taken for a flight.
Flights to perform:
You can simulate severel realistic flights with this scenery.
1. Display flight with the DC-3 at the KZ-rally.
Place your favorite DC-3 on the apron (I recommend Carl Poul Bragers Danish Air force C-47 K-682 repaints), and fly the display flight made every year by the DC-3 from owned by the group "DC-3 vennerne" (the DC-3 friends).
Start up, taxi to the east end of the runway and takeoff to the west. (The winds almost always blows from the norht sea). Make a left-hand traffic pattern at 1500-2000 ft, and come in for a low-pass. Let the audience hear those engines roar!
Then perform the pattern again and approach rwy. 27 for a full stop.
2. Vintage aircraft maintainance-flight
Get one of the old aircrafts from the museum. This could be eg. a piper-cub, saab safir, or tiger moth. The best would be one of the danish-build KZ-planes, of which "Vestjysk Veteranflysamling" (West-jutland's vintage aircraft collection) own several examples, but none are available on the internet as far as I know. Then select "museumsflyvning". Your plane has just been pulled out, and is ready for startup. Taxi between the trees to the grass-strip, turn right and taxi past the spectaters and the parked piper-cub. Then turn aroung and take off to the west. Make a standard left-hand traffic pattern, to line the aircraft up for a low-pass... make some aerobatics to please the watching people, and go down on the asphalt runway for a refuel on the main apron. Take off again and make a (precise) approach to the grass-strip. Watch out for the trees and bushes!
3. Display or aerobatic flight at the KZ-rally
Use a light aircraft, such as the tiger moth, which every year performs
aerobatics. Select "Display flight" inthe airports menu, and select eg. a tiger moth. Then take off and fly the same route as the DC-3 or make up a set of stunning aerobatics...
4. Tour flights in a cessna.
These flight are now possibillity after I have released two photorealistic sceneries, covering most of Ringkøbing Fjord, ranging from north of Stauning to south of the fjord. The tours are flown by Ben-air in C172s.
They are flown somewhat like this:
1. Basicly just a standard pattern, where you get a view og the field.
2. A little longer flight th the south, where the Skjern stream enters the fjord.
3. A flight of appx. 15 min. to the bird reservate Tipperne. Beautiful.
4. This long (and quite expensive) flight gives you an impression of the uniqe nature all the way around Ringkoebing Fjord.

I made this scenery with Airport 2.60 build 82, Mdltobgl v2.2 and TerraBuilder Lite V1.93, thanks to the people who makes these programmes. They are great tools! Also Thanks to Manfred Moldenhauer for the Scasm compiler!
