ABOUT THE SCENERY:
Here is another airport that I couldn't find ample information on, so most of the airport is from my own imagination. Going by the default layout in FS, and finding an aerial view that I had to use a magnifying glass to see any details, I put together what I thought the airport may look like. So, for those who live in the area and know what the facility is like, if I am way off, I apologize. This one can be fun to fly in and out of, so happy landings.
