What is you default Airport that you fly from?

I was just wanted somewhere new to fly from.

I normally fly from Albuquerque (KABQ) which is still my favorite.

Any other suggestions. Also just inquisitive. :kilroy:

Please also state if it's an add-on field.

I don't really have a "Home Base", I just fly from where ever the urge hits me. I guess because I don't have a single airplane that I fly more than any other. If I did that might dictate that I fly from a particular field.

You'll get some good responses though as I've seen this same question asked many times and I'm always surprised at how many folks have one particular airport that they fly out of.

as I do lot of Beta testing-->can go quickly over water(FPS check) and to crowded areas(KLAX) and I am a westcoast fan(from far away)

Most airports I fly from are in the Caribbean region. The one I seem to get back to every time is MYZ1, Williams town, in the Bahamas, 2800 ft - just enough to get a L-39 airborne, if you make sure the autogen ain't too high so you don't have too many trees around the field, that is :icon_lol: . I tend to fly a lot from the bases that MoCat gave us with Caribbean Seaplane Operations. MYXC, Hog Cay, 1800 ft. MYE5, 2500 ft. Don't recall the ICAO of Spanish Cay nor the name of the most northern airfield in the Bahamas, unfortunately. Both are really nice airfields, although the latter isn't recommended if you're flying bigger things than GA stuff. I must confess I've tried - and succeeded - in getting an Avro Vulcan airborne from the latter one :kilroy:...

MYXY, with the scenery (including a hotel, improved airfield(s), boats, dolphins, yacht club-like port,...). Available at Avsim.

Got a couple of others I'll have to look for on the FSX map, my memory is letting me down now...
 
Belfast Aldergrove, for reasons I don't entirely understand myself, let alone expect anyone else to.
 
In the UK usually Duxford for warbirds and Compton Abbas or Seething for GA. All three are covered by VFR Airfields vols 1 & 2, or there's a very nice freeware Duxford from Dave WG. Compton Abbas is lovely in real life and great in VFR Vol 1 - there's an updated AFCAD on the UK2000 site with the new clubhouse. Most of my warbirds can get in and out of there nicely.

In the US I love Plum Island but mostly I use KPWT Bremerton National - two choices, one of them a patched FS9 version, both over at flightsim.com.
 
Europe: EDDV (Hannover)
USA: KDEN (Denver), since it's relieving to just get away from low FPS areas. :d

I fly out of my hometown airport (KATW Outagamie Co. Regl.) most of the time when not doing hoplists.
 
I use Dillingham (Aerosoft) on Oahu in Hawaii (with Megascenery X Hawaii) for 90% of first flights (testing new addons) or if I just want to bash the circuit for 20 mins. Bergen (Cloud 9) is also good for this.

Favourite default airports include Edwards Air Force Base, California and Queensland, New Zealand.

Cheers,
 
My favourite airport is CYVR Vancouver mostly because I live here. When you install the Vancouver 2.0 for FSX, well what a difference from the stock MS scenery.
 
Deer Valley (Phoenix) KDVT, or Flagstaff KFLG, usually. Sometimes the Cape Cod airports for a change.

It was Pattonville in Germany! Then it was KPLN. But my local airports call me back home alot, lol...
