Description
Mackinac Island Airport is a quaint airport that really gets busy in the summer when tourists come from all over the world to relax at the Grand and other historic hotels. I can't think of a place that has so much in such a small area. National park, fort, picturesque harbour, Mackinac Bridge, and of course a cute as all get out airport, I have never been there, but it sure isn't very far from the Canadian border and it just might lure be over one day. (I'm a Canuk)
I tried to do justice to the beautiful terminal building (just exterior at this time) but wanted to do a lighthouse too. So I was delighted to find such a unique and wonderful one as The Round Island Light. There were a few fuzzy photos so I did my best. It has a revolving light so do buzz by on your local tour of the bridge, lighthouse, over the harbour and fort and Grand Hotel and back to the airport.
(the hotels will be a good future update project)

Wow that's a very cool video.. Amazing airplane.
If you downloaded an early version there are some minor updates, eg taxi lights added. I notice in your video the small deer and the flag were not there.
I think Dave's 3D animals scenery library would fix that. As for the flag I will see what I can do there.
Thanks again.. Don't forget about Mackinac County airport and it's lighthouse and further south to Beaver Island.. Kind of a bundle

Yes.. they are being fed and waiting for the long trek back to the hotel.

Thank you! Love to get those 5 star ratings. Good luck and have fun. Mackinac County Airport should be out this week, maybe another lighthouse too.

I love Mackinac Island, such a great place to visit. I've been many times via the ferry but one day I would love to fly Great Lakes Air from St. Ignace. One friendly reminder I have is that there are no cars allowed on the island, so removing them from around the terminal would be my only critique. Thanks for taking the time to make this airport!

oh That is very interesting about the cars. I had no idea. I shall revise as soon as I am back home on my sim computer. I will make an effort to try a low poly Grand Hotel as well.
thanks and cheers

Bicycles and horse drawn carriages are the only mode of transportation used to get around while on the island.

Latest update thanks to you. It will take a few weeks to get The Grand Hotel done.., it's a whopper.
