"One of the smallest and most controversial airfields in America, Blaine Municipal Airport (4W6), has survived 28 years of lawsuits and ballot issues, aimed at shutting it down to make way for industrial and retail development.
Today, the 42-acre facility in northwest Washington, at the edge of the U.S.-Canadian border, is facing a much brighter future. A close 4-3 city council vote Oct. 9 approved moving ahead with the airport’s master plan, which includes a $16.8 million runway improvement, additional hangars and a marketing program."
That was the optimistic news story in 2006. Two years later, the Blaine city council caved in to real estate developers and closed the airport. In it's final year, Blaine Mun airport still had 8,000 airport operations. What a tradgedy!
I have restored and reopened the airport so my fellow GA sim pilots can fly into and enjoy visiting the beautiful little border town of Blaine, Washington. I hope you get out of your plane and explore the place. Enjoy!
Many thanks to the creators of the Required and Recommended libraries. If you have not previously installed these libraries in your Community folder, some objects may not be visible in your sim. In this case I am saying that the “Animated Human 3D Models Library” is Required. Remember, you only have to install these one time. Also, go to the sim marketplace and download the free UK2000 Scenery Common Library. All Microsoft World Updates should be installed also.
Easter Egg re-hidden.
5 stars! This is nice eye candy!
Cheers

I do have a bit of a wishlist though.
I have all sorts of libraries (for sure all that you have listed) but can't seem to get the Spruce Goose Cafe to show.
The real airport doesn't seem to have ever had PAPIs.
RW14 should be displaced quite a bit more than it is. Also the gas station canopy is right in the apch path and there was never an obstruction there IRL (actually that corner was always a Burger King with parking lot and trees in line with the runway).
There should be a bunch of T hangars east of the runway.
And this is more of a wishful request, but it would be really next level if you grabbed the older satellite photo from Google Earth and loaded it as a ground texture, because this will always look better than a tiled grass texture.
