I chose 24A for a quick stop between FLL and TEB with the CJ4. Weather was nasty so I took the RNAV (GPS) Rwy 33 which added to the thrill by breaking through clouds close to minimum. Happy new year and thanks for your mod!

The paved surfaces are all smooth for me, not sure how they could be different for you.

You are killing it with the airports in this area! Some of the best freeware airports available too, these aren't easy airports to do with the terrain, very much appreciated. Might I also suggest GE99, 7A8 and 6A4 airports as well? This is the most fun area of the country to fly GA in with all these tough airports and you're making it even better. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Can't thank you enough.

That's very kind, thank you! I'll keep those airports noted. Right now I'm working on Shell Lake (KSSQ) for a friend and then I'll be looking for some airports out east. Some preliminary airports I'm thinking about are 4B8 and KSEG but no one, myself included, knows what I'll end up choosing lol

Wow! Fantastic! Where on earth did you find hangers that have doors open? Gives your airport a sense of life that most others sill lack!

I love these "carrier" airstrips. Thanks.
There's another cool airport not too far from this, I can't recall what it is called. But is is a single runway in a little valley with sloped taxiways on one side that lead to some private residences. A perfect spot for your talents. I'll try to find it. Unless you already know which one I mean.

If you think of it feel free to let me know and I'll at the very least take a look at it. I'm probably going to start planning on making some GA airports in the Massachusetts/New York area next.
