The largest is Joint Base Lewis McChord, otherwise known as McChord AFB (KTCM) prior to the base merger (and within FSX). It's situated between Tacoma and Olympia WA along Interstate 5. There are also Coast Guard Air Stations, my favorite being CGAS in Port Angeles, WA on the Olympic Peninsula. If you were to fly from McChord AFB to CGAS you would fly nearly right over my home airfield KPWT Bremerton, WA.Farther away from the Puget Sound area of Western Washington but still geographically in the PNW is Fairchild AFB (KSKA) in Spokane, WA and Mountain Home AFB (KMUO) in Mountain Home, Idaho.

Is there any addon scenery for that available?

The best I've found is Orbx's rendition included with their NA Blue PNW package.Unfortunately, since 9/11 the ability to take pictures of airports, especially military airfields, is next to impossible!

And that´s what I´ve got. :( So nothing will obstruct the flight!

There is also Whidbey Island KNUW, but I don't think they fly c-130's but Orion's and prowlers.EDIT: ORBX version

If you want to venture south of the border, try Don Grovestine's CYQQ - Canadian Forces Base Comox.
