Orbx, please bring KBHB Hancock County - Bar Harbor Airport back to MSFS. This area brings some of the most scenic mountainous/oceanic flying on the entire east coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
KBHB - Hancock County - Bar Harbor Airport: The most scenic mountainous / oceanic flying on the entire East coast of the Atlantic Ocean. During the summer months, the airport becomes one of Maine's busiest, with significant private jet operations bringing visitors to the numerous summer colonies in Maine. Airport also offers glider and biplane scenic tours as well as scheduled passenger airline service.
As to other great airports in Maine I would suggest the following. These provide a good variety from international to local grass strips. I could visit and photograph any airport in Maine for Orbx.

It was designated by NASA as an emergency landing location for the Space Shuttle.[3] Bangor is the first major American airport encountered by airliners approaching the United States from the east and the last for airliners heading towards Europe.Transatlantic flights are sometimes diverted to Bangor when they have mechanical trouble, fuel, medical emergency.
OB2 - Brewer Airport: Small unique GA airport (grass strip) located directly under the flightpath of Bangor International airport RWY 33. Traffic pattern is 500AGL because of this. This is my home airport and where I learned to fly and hangered my 1940 C140. https://generalaviationnews.com/2021/07/18/the-little-airport-that-could/

ME 74 - Millers Field:
Miller’s Field (ME74), the home of Vintage Wings, is nestled in a bucolic green valley of Penobscot County in Newburgh, Maine. It is surrounded by farms and lush green pasture land in the summer. The private grass airstrip has a 2,400- x 50-foot runway and a large taxi and ramp area. The runway is situated in a north/south position in fields that were once pastures. There is a slight increase in elevation from the south to the north. Although it is pretty straight, it has a couple of small dips. It reminded me a bit of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome runway in New York. The wooden hangars and other buildings on the west side of the airstripremind you of the old barnstormer turf aerodromes of the 1920s and early 1930s.
