How do you do that? Do I need AFCAD? Where do I get it?

you may do, depending on your airport of choice, needs parking spots, some don't come with them, you'll also need Lee Swordy's other program , TTools. A user interface for TTools is handy, I use YRoute (ggogle it, can't remember where I got it)

AI is quite complex as JDT says you need a few tools, luckily when i bought JF's Traffic 2005 it had a tool that allows you to specify aircraft as AI and input flight plans for that type, compile using ttools then go and watch 
for TNG's you have to manually change the files but its worth it.... AI can be hit an miss, just keep practicing you'll nail it

If I can manage it, anyone can, just read the manuals with the tools mentioned.

you must be Wideawake!!
yeah, my rather crued representation, just AFcad'd in parking, etc and used pics and google to add buildings and the like, don't think the blast fences were present during the Falklands conflict, but I liked them :d

PS. no daylight pics, sorry, will look into it, also a nice pic of the angled decked Ark.

Here's my second attempt at AI, Ascension Island, Wideawake AB.
All I did was add some parking using AFCAD, taxiways, etc, based on google earth and photographs. I then added some buildings etc. using EZScenery, but that's not neccessary for the AI, just the parking and taxiways, adding a tower frequency helps for ATC, done with AFCAD. I had some help from our Tom Clayton to make the hills beside the runway better, thanks Tom.
I then used TTools and YRoute to add some of my own AI, you can add to the stock traffic file, or create a new one (best option, easier to remove/undo). Alphas Belslow, Vulcan and Victor, DM's VC10, will add hercs, Harriers, scouts, wasps, etc later and want to add a nice ski jump carrier off-shore, Illustrious stopped off on route IIRC.
All I did was read the manuals, and started by editing a the stock file (back it up first) After I got to grips with it, I made a few of my own from scratch.
The easiest option would be to see if someone else has already made some traffic files that suit your requirements, failing that, it's make your own I'm affraid. Maybe if it's something quite simple, someone might make it for you?
