October 21, 200619 yr For some fun, start a flight at MHTJ (active runway).Does something look a bit strange? Look all around including spot view.If everything looks OK, slew up to about 500 ft. and look again.Don't know if this is one of the famous easter eggs or not. Wouldn't think anyone would build an airport like this. Thank you.

The data that was used for the terrain may be in error or recorded at high tide. Did you notice the narrow uneven sections of land around the air strip.I am basing my explaination on a beach (sand) strip in Scotland called Barra. With the default scenery in FS9 it is Ok, but once you add UT, which is more accurate, the airstrip there ends up in the water. Just a thought!
October 21, 200619 yr Author The airport seems to be a regular airport, see here:http://www.fallingrain.com/icao/MHTJ.htmlThe runway surface is given as asphalt. Judging from the map there (which shows the airport right on the water's edge), I would guess this is a problem of two sources of geographic information not lining up...Martin
