Never mind then haha!  At one point I thought they said their secret project was in Asia, but looking at the latest on their forum, you are right!

KSLC is long overdue and as a major Delta Hub I am surprised it has not been picked up!

 

 

KSLC is next up from Pacific Islands Simulations after RPLL.  They do some very nice work.  Check out some of their beauties here:

They had a Halloween sale last year with everything 40% off and here's to hoping this year will be the same.

That's good to know if true But I read someplace PIS had shut it's doors and went out of business which is a shame I have several of their sceneries and you are correct they are very nice!

 

Update* Looking at their forums it seems they are back developing, that's good news.  I didn't see any mention of KSLC other than this is where their new corporate office is.  (If you want to call it that)

An FTX region of NWT would be nice. Or northern Alberta but just cause I live there... Then they could do CYQU Realistically off the top of my head I would have 3 or 4... KTEB- Teterboro NY FAJS- Johannesburg ZMUB- Ulan Bator Mongolia LLET- Eilat Israel. One of the most beautiful approaches with a nice short runway that has the odd 67 and daily 57s. Must include the city too. There was a free fs9 version but I don't remember if it works in FSX there must be a reason I'm not using it. I'm sure there are others I'll think of but there will always be more people want. I'd like a nice Asian hub. Beijing needs to be done. Lee OK 5... Paris Le Bourget! I need my bizjet hubs..... OK now I'm really done Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I'd love to see LLET but in the meantime, there is a nice freeware version for FSX. I have all of their FSX stuff installed. http://www.israeli-scenery.org/released-projects

 

 

Someone mentioned Bullhead City, AZ. I'd like to see that one as well. For a corporate airport, KPTK would be on my list.

 

Others

KTVC Cherry Capital Traverse City, MI

MMBT Huatulco, MX

TJSJ - LatinVFR was going to do it but I am not sure if that is still happening

KGRR Grand Rapids, MI

KSDF Louisville, KY

KLEX Lexington, KY

Elmira/Corning Regional Airport (KELM.)

 

Reason being is because I live very close here and they just lengthened the runway to 8,001 feet. It's centrally located between NYC, Buffalo (FlyTampa baby!), Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia (SunSkyJet.)

 

Also, US Airways and Delta Connection flies Dash 8's, CRJ-200's, -700's, and -900's and an occasional E-170 into KELM. Ameriflight flies Metroliners and Allegiant flies MD-83's into KELM. It is also a hotspot for a biz jet company which operates in and out of KELM. Corning, Inc. flies a Falcon 50 and there are couple Gulfstreams based here.

 

On a side note, when NASCAR has the Watkins Glen race, most of the drivers and teams fly their aircraft to KELM including 737-400s and 737-800s, 727-200s, Citation X, Saab 2000s and several E-145s.

Hey I resemble that remark! I too would vote for KELM, as it is my home airport, and I work for the biz jet company Nathan mentioned.

 

KELM is one of the busier airports in upstate NY outside of larger cities like Syracuse and Rochester. The FSX default has it as it was 8 years ago. The runway 6 threshold was extended 500 feet 3 years ago, (with a new taxiway extension), and the runway 24 threshold was extended 500 feet last year, with a EMAS overrun system added to it, and runway centerline lighting also new.

 

United will be adding direct service to Chicago soon, and as Nathan mentioned, ELM hosts a huge fleet of biz jets every August when the Nascar race is held at Watkins Glen.

 

Also, Sikorsky Aircraft built a large complex of new hangars at both the northern and southern ends of the airport for a Blackhawk helicopter completion facility. Sadly, Sikorsky closed that operation down last year, but the hangars are still there, and I'm sure they will eventually be taken over by other aviation- related businesses.

 

My only correction to Nathan's original post would be in reference to Corning Inc. whose corporate aviation department it based here. Rather than Falcon 50's they operate a fleet of 5 Falcon 900Ex, and two Dornier 328 turboprops.

 

All-in-all KELM is no longer the "sleepy little regional airport" it was 25 years ago, when I first started working here.
