Ok how big do you mean by meduim sized planes...
(Then again, it's not like I'm going to try to put an An 225 in a hanger) Grin

One other thing... I would like a hanger too...


Okay. You will be able to bring in Mooneys, Ceesnas, Those type of things. Lear Jets and Challengers, that type of thing. We're probably looking at something withtin the 5,000-6,500 foot runway. I might put in one or two larger praking spaces out in the open for a larger plane, like a private Embraer or something, but this isn't meant to be a major airport.

Cool

The specific area I'm talking about, is a few miles South of Minden-Tahoe (airport). There's also a lake, which is by far big enough for a water runway. However, to preserve the hills around that place, an artificial lake would be easy to place Smiley

And I've jusr fallen in love with the huge lake, and small airport just North-East of there Cheesy

Smiley


The problem I see there is that everywhere there is a flat surface for an airport, there is already an airfield. Could you show me exactly where you propose it should go? I do like this type of area better than the desert  so far. I thought I had the final location, I don't think so anymore. I'm glad I didn't start making it yet.

Cool



Sure, I'll mark it up, when I get home Smiley

Quickly sketched some possible runways, to give you an idea of the location Smiley

...

Lake Topaz is large enough for a water runway, but another lake can be made for the purpose.

Lake Tahoe, along with the airport there, is just marvelous... really beautiful Smiley

Reno is also a few miles North Cheesy

The locations you show me look good, but I don't like how there are so many airports all around it. It wouldn't really be as much of a private airstrip. I'll put a poll up and we can see which area is prefered. I'm not sure which one I like better myself.

With that great Addon scenery for the canyon, this one is a no-brainer! Wink

Since the FS9 project is a sticky, I don't see why this one shouldn't be either. Smiley

both area's look like they would be great but i do like the nevada area that Anxyous has found...reason being that it is at a lower altitude so more types of aircrafts can enjoy the scenery verses in the grand caynon area it is almost at most GA planes max ceilings...i didnt realize that when i made the suggestion for Arizona or California's death valley, i also suggested that type of area because of the Seclusion with the proposed airport with the 20000ft runway, so i am going for the Nevada area Cool and yes I too would like a hanger Wink

Well ,neither were really my idea. Also, this airport's not just for me, it's for everyone. I think everyone should have a chance to decide the location. I voted too, but I might not count mine.

Cool
