Request someone out there create airport scenery for either Kadena AFB (RODN) and or Naha Airport Okinawa (OKA) for P3D5 and or V4.5

My Dad was stationed there back in 1957 when he made W-1 (Navy) and I was 12 years old then. He went there first without us then he had to find housing
for us then we left Memphis TN and went to San Francisco where we sailed on a troop transport and eventually arrive at the port of Naha Okinawa.
We were there for three years and returned state side in 1960.

A Naval Air Facility was established at Naha Air Base, and naval communications were stationed there where my Dad was assigned.
The U.S. Navy remained in Naha until May 7, 1975, when Fleet Activities, Okinawa, relocated from Naha to Kadena Air Base.
The airfield was turned over to Japan were they converted the airport to a civilian airport.
NAF Naha maintained support and repair of Naval fleet aircraft as well as P2V, P3 and WV-1 Connies.
The ARMY had a couple of tug boats that would guide various naval ships to the port of Naha. Why ARMY I don't know.

Orbx did made this scenery for X-plane and I think MSFS as well.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the reply however, I noted in customer reviews that the scenery is missing a recently added runway.

"Product of acceptable quality, however this scenery lacks the new 18R/36L.
TechnoBrain should push more frequent updates on its product in general.
Nice rendering and texture of ROAH airport overall."

Also, other devs have the missing runway incorporated for MSFS 2020/24 at cheaper price.
I've emailed the devs about this and awaiting reply. They want $45 for this (Pricey) and for up to date version half the price.
 
The second runway (on left) was added back in 2022. I think the only dev selling with 2nd runway is X-plane.

Before AT's there was Aviation Radio Technician which he was.
The US Navy aviation radio technician rating, now known as
Aviation Electronics Technician (AT), originated on December 11, 1942, during WWII to manage rapidly advancing airborne radio technology. Originally focused on radio communication, the rating evolved to include radar and navigation, was re-designated as aviation electronics technician’s mate in 1945, and later merged with other technical specialties.

He made CPO in three years. No other person has done this. Back in WW2, there was such a thing as acting CPO then (temporary) and if you
kept out of trouble made was made permanent usually after 3/5 years. Now its CPO boards that do the promoting .
I was in front of the board several times. My rate was a very closed rate, did not promote as many as other rates did.
