Elizabeth City Coast Guard Air Station (KECG)
also known as ECGAS, Elizabeth City Regional Airport, and "E City".
From USCG.gov - "U. S. Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City was commissioned on August 15, 1940 with four officers, 52 enlisted men and ten aircraft. The old Holowell Plantation near Elizabeth City was selected by the Coast Guard in 1938 for its potential strategic value as a seaplane base. During World War II, the Air Station was under U. S. Navy control conducting Search and Rescue (SAR), anti-submarine and training missions. Since then the Air Station's missions and assigned aircraft have shifted and grown with changing national priorities and technologies. In 1966 Air Station Elizabeth City expanded after absorbing the Air Stations in Bermuda and Argentia. In addition to the Air Station, Elizabeth City's Coast Guard complex includes the Aircraft Repair and Supply Center (AR&SC), Aviation Technical Training Center (ATTC), Support Center, and Boat Station Elizabeth City."
Okay troops, this is the first scenery package I've ever put out on the web for others to use, so please forgive me if things aren't in the standard formats here in the readme.
I developed the scenery from personal photos, Google Earth, FAA airport diagrams and recollections of my times spent there.
I put this scenery together with EZ-Scenery, using many EZ objects by various authors, available from AvSim and stock FS objects.
Some of the object .bgl files I know I've used are: marcel-lafargue_helicopters_a

If you have a good many EZ Scenery and Runway 12 objects then it should work out fine for you. This is strictly for FS9, but it may work for FSX too. I don't have FSX, so I can't guarantee anything. I have Ultimate Terrain and the scenery is aligned with that in mind. (I do not know how it lines up with the stock FS9 coast lines.) Open the helo hangar by tuning 115.5 on NAV2.
I have also included three AFCADS and a traffic file. One AFCAD is for KECG proper, to take care of the fixed wing operations. One AFCAD (ECG1) is for the helo operations for the five MH-60J's stationed there. The third AFCAD is provided for Atlantic City (KACY) to provide for military parking spaces for both USCG operations and the Air Guard portions of the airport.
As I use this scenery with the MAIW Coast Guard package the AI flight plan addresses mainly helo operations, a visit for "touch & go's" from a USAF H-130 from the Maryland Air Guard and one HC-144 providing initial familiarization flights for the new plane to the Air Station in Atlantic City, NJ.. HC-130 ops are available with the MAIW package.
I made this scenery before MAIW came out with the Coast Guard Package and have adapted the AFCAD to handle the additional traffic that package imposes. In my times at ECGAS there were only five HC-130's assigned to the Air Station, but I made allowances for the a/c of the MAIW package.
For the scenery: place the ECGAS folder in your Add-on Scenery folder and add it in the usual methods required by FS9.
I have included
AI Flight plan: If you use it you will need the Hovercontrol AI Jayhawk, the HC-130H from the MAIW Atlantic Seaboard Package, and the HC-144A from the latest MAIW Coast Guard package.
