A little while ago I finally made it to a small, two-runway grass strip over in the woods in southeastern New Brunswick, the Havelock Airport (CCS5); I'd been meaning to get over for their annual BBQ Fly-in week-end for years, but weather and other factors had always conspired against me:
I was thinking that it might be a good candidate for an Enhanced Freeware Airport treatment; if memory serves correct, I believe the default rendition in FSX/P3D only has a single runway.

KCMI - University of Illinois Willard Airport, Champaign, Illinois.
Great choice (a little homage to Bruce Artwick with that one!)

Cable Head Airpark (CCA3) on Prince Edward Island
I've been considering this for a while - Its the last airport on PEI that hasn't been done. The video should help with the details.
Here are a few links to photos if you'd like some more detail of the airpark:

Another nice little grass strip in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada is Cable Head Airpark (CCA3) on Prince Edward Island (it's a residential airpark that hosts a BBQ lunch fly-in every summer):

On my list. I've been considering it for a while so probably the pack after next.
Miramichi also has a fairly eclectic collection of GA hangars that you could have a bit of fun with (reminds me a bit of Vashon's lineup):

The Miramichi Airport (CYCH) would be a good addition to your Maritime Canada collection (it has a 10,000 foot runway, so it can handle all sizes and speeds of aircraft):
Page Field (KFMY) in Fort Myers could benefit from a little bit of the Orbx touch as well, and makes for a nice stopping/jumping off point on the west coast of Florida:

One airport that's quite new (in fact it doesn't exist in the default P3D scenery at all) is the Hillaton/Kings Aerodrome Airport (CHL2) in Nova Scotia:
https://skyvector.com/airport/CHL2/Hillaton-Kings-Aerodrome-Airport
The 11/29 runway has recently had 1650 feet of it's length paved. So recently in fact, that the Skyvector details at the link above don't mention it. However, the video below provides some close-up views of that runway:
Below, I've provided an aerial shot of the airfield in it's surrounding environment, which includes some picturesque farmland and coastline (the actual airstrip is just to the right and just above the center part of the photograph):
I thought it might be a good candidate for some Orbx love (especially since there's no representation of it whatsoever in the default sim).
