Elizabeth City CGAS

Ret. US Coastie/RCAF
One of a few CGAS's I'm working on. I'm using Jim Cook's KECG for the base. Experimenting with Jim Dhaenens's Denver Hangers he made available at flightsim.com, MAIW's Elizabeth City pack AC only, Project Opensky's P8 with Colin Lowe's USCG Paint and some John Stinson tools. Jim D, if you see this may I borrow the USCG marked type Denver hanger from Floyd Bennett? That particular hanger is very similar to types associated with Elizabeth City historically. Im gonna also try to capture her Seaplane area which housed the USCG's PBY and Ducks also. Next one on my hit list is KTVC Traverse City CGAS. As one can I cant resist using the beautiful Fly Coast Guard Water Tower Jim did. Of course it contains Navy's Beer from the night raids, not water lol.

Are you considering Barbers Point CGAS in Hawaii at all?

Hum that one could be interesting and is a rare CGAS scenery for Fs. Got it's ICAO?, I'm not lucky in the RW to get duty there lol. Only the privilege behaved Coasties go out there err. The real naughty one's get sent to the meanest, No Alcohol and most isolated CGAS in the US, Casco Cove CGAS Alaska, aka the USCG Gulag. Yes, will add Barbers Point after Traverse City CGAS.
 
Since the Navy moved to Kaneohe Bay, the aifield was converted for civilian purposes and is now called Kalaeloa Airport (PHJR). The CGAS has remained on the south side of the field. The field as a whole was formerly NAS Barbers Point. The USCG still refers to it as Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point as far as I know.
It's difficult to find many pictures of it for some reason.

The base is home to HH-65 Dolphins and HC-130s.

EDIT: Here's a good one...unfortunately I haven't been able to find one of the other side of the hanger building other than that distant shot in the first image.

Worth noting in default FSX that PHJR is misplaced, by a bit. If someone uses UTX USA I made a correction a loonnngggg time ago to put the airport back where it belongs.
 
I have a paint req please. I found a E767 AWACS V5 project opensky FSX native. I know it is native as I can do VC transplants. I'm looking for a USCG scheme, #8800 Elizabeth City CGAS and a Bugs Bunny station logo. I know it is fictional but i need a interdiction ac for fishery and drugs, SAR and DHS mission purposes.
