STOP - Before you go any further!! You MUST DELETE the OLD YBPN and replace with this new one for 2024.

Very special mentions to the Team: I would like to thank Gav Saunders and Dogdoor for the monster effort that we all put in on this airport including flying to the airport for reference photos. Unfortunately, our  personal & work commitments meant that we decided not to finish this airport to a full payware release. As you can see by the photos is a 10 out of 10 effort.  All that is really missing is the firehouse and some surrounding buildings including additional optimisation work. 

We collectively offer this to the community to enjoy.
