🤔 Was There Ever An "UnOfficial" SOH Airfield (In the likes of 'Emma Field')❓

Even seaplanes could use Meigs, there's a pier next to the runway!

I think it's what makes Meigs the best all around 'unofficial' Field for our purposes. You can even get a 727 in there...


Over at FlightSim.com we did a 'mini' Challenge where you'd fly a Tubeliner there and put it down on 36. I'd think you could get most any Warbird in there with a little bit of skill. :)

EDIT: Or else, someone build a WW2 style Bomber strip somewhere on the Great Plains for both Legacy and current Platforms with a Hangar or two, a 8th AF style Tower/Admin building and a couple of Quonsets for Crew Quarters. Add a short Grass runway for Biplanes and Sport planes, too.

A "bit" bumpy :) Wonder if any passengers in there?
