FAA ID: 1J9. This is the kind of airport where one could drop in during a sight-seeing flight along the Gulf coast between Destin and Pensacola in Florida. Privately owned, it's a public-use airport where banner towing is frequently done. It has no services; it is a turf airstrip in poor, but usable condition; take-offs are toward the coast (south) and landings are from the coast also. At 2100 feet of runway, it can handle medium and small general aviation craft. The purpose of this scenery mod is to give a better experience of reality to an otherwise uninteresting airport in the sim. It is also intended to make it more fun to simply drop in while on the way to somewhere else (there is a pool party going on next door). Parking is available, so you can also start a flight there if you wish.

When I was stationed at NAS Pensacola, on weekends I spent many days headed to Destin and would almost always stop and watch the banner towing operation that is based there. This brings back memories, thank you for this!
