Lovely but it also is an iconic airport because it was one of the first of what I call the "small airports with a soul" to be created,. First in Fs2k2 by an indie developer long gone and then OrbX took up the torch with a Darrington of their own. Its school buses are a FS landmark ! It makes a good pair with Concrete in PNW.

Thanks Dominique, a little bit of history I wasn't aware of, and yes it definitely is a pearl and well worth having. Buy the way, I saw your short flight in your Diamond DA42 on Avsim - nice.

Thanks Jack, flying in from Vancouver makes it relatively easy to find, I was a bit high on arrival, so just had a bit of a problem finding the runway, it's sort of hiding amongst the trees. I also approached from the easy end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
