I'm afraid that picture you posted of "Ryan Field" is actually the "Tucson Trap & Skeet Club". So landing there is definitely not recommended. You might get hit by skeet or shot at.
Ryan Field (a former USAAF airbase) is a few miles farther West and actually has three large paved runways.

I appreciate the heads up about the error. I flew the route and I saw what happened. When I approach Ryan Field, the skeet facility is directly in front of the Ryan runway. The Ryan label briefly appears directly above the vertical POI line for the abandoned skeet runway, giving the illusion that the skeet facility is Ryan.
I have updated the package with corrected info and a new Ryan image.
Thanks!
