Description
The town of Golden is located on the Columbia river approximately 65 miles north of Invermere (CAA8) and 100 miles north of the headwaters in British Columbia. This area has many top notch ski resorts and is famous for its heli-skiing.
Golden Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the Town of Golden. The airfield supports day-time operations and is equipped with a paved 4,500 ft. x 75 ft. runway, several taxiways and parking areas, a terminal building, weather station, and aircraft fueling facilities. Several businesses and tenants are located at the Airport, including two helicopter operators, a skydiving organization, Golden and District Search and Rescue, a wildfire suppression base, and private aircraft hangars. Approximately 5,300 aircraft movements were recorded in 2019.
Version 1.0 Is finally available. I have added a lot of new scenery to bring this airport to life, and to enhance the emmersion level. I have tried to keep the scenery as accurate as possible. This version still contains 3rd party content, but I have eliminated or replaced much of it.
I hope you enjoy my new version of Golden Airport in "Super Natural" British Columbia.

Ruby Airport (PARY)
Ruby - Population 187 -- Gold was discovered here in 1907, but no town was established until 1911 when additional gold deposits were discovered on Long Creek, causing a rush of prospectors to the area. Ruby was home for many of the mushers who carried mail for the Northern Commercial Company from Tanana to Ruby. The trip took four days and paid $5.00 a day. Dog team mail ended here in 1931. The checkpoint is in town, at the community hall.

The pink checkerboard usually means that an object / material from a certain library is missing. If you can send a screenshot, or tell me which buildings, I can find which library is missing.
Cheers and happy flying,
