Easton airport was constructed by the US federal government in the 1930s as an emergency field for DC-3s crossing the Cascades through Snoqualmie Pass. It was acquired by Washington State in 1958 to preserve it for future use. Easton State remains an important airport on the eastern approaches to Snoqualmie and Stampede Pass. One of the most visited state airports in Washington, it has plenty to offer, ample parking, camping, hiking, and the opportunity to relax in the beautiful natural surrounds.
The runway is 2,640 feet of turf, with a 300-foot displaced threshold on the west end. Field elevation is 2,221 feet, and density altitude problems can be encountered in the summer. Trees surround the airport and there are trees in both approaches close in. Deer, elk, turkeys are common visitors at this airport. Recreational ATVs and motorcyclists can use the perimeter access road but should not be on the airport runway. The surface is somewhat rough and will be soft when wet. An overflight to check the field conditions and obstructions is highly recommended. The airport is generally open from June 1 to Oct. 1.
This is a handcrafted rendering of Easton State, with a few custom objects and parking added. I'm hoping to add custom lighting and custom web cam huts soon.
If you like this, it's just a 10-minute flight up the valley from my scenery for Bandera State.
As ever, you'll need a few libraries to make this work, listed below.
This is for MSFS 2020, but I'm hoping to update all my scenery for MSFS 2024 early in the new year.
