Agua Caliente Springs Airport serves residents of rural east San Diego County and visitors to Agua Caliente Hot Springs County Park. It’s located 95 miles east of San Diego. The airfield looks like a blacktop field next to a two-lane desert highway in the middle of nowhere. Approach runway 11 is challenging and weather permit it’s highly recommended to land on runway 29.

Sad news for us virtual aviators and real-world dreamers. Agua Caliente (L54), the quiet little desert strip many of us have fond memories of, has now officially faded from the map. The airport has been closed for over a year, and last week, the County confirmed that resurfacing the runway was too costly. They've requested it be unregistered by the FAA - permanently closed.
 
It stings. For those of us who’ve flown in and out of L54 in the sim or in person, it’s more than just a runway - it’s a chapter of aviation history being quietly erased. We could keep it alive in our imaginations, fly in as if the yellow crosses don’t exist… Or we can let the virtual world reflect reality and say goodbye properly.
 
I've chosen the latter - for now - and updated my freeware scenery for MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 to reflect this bittersweet change. Let me know what you think.
