Community Creator Phobos_Designs has just released their latest scenery, Boulder Municipal Airport, on Flightsim.to. This airport is located just northeast of Boulder, Colorado, and is primarily used for general aviation - especially exiciting for those who love flying in the Rockies! Boulder Municipal Airport sees hundreds of flights per day and tens of thousands per year, with the majority of flights made up of general aviation aircraft. Glider operations at Boulder are some of the best in the nation and offer both the Soaring Society of Boulder as well as Mile High Gliding.
With this new scenery, you will be able to soar around the Rocky Mountain peaks and along the Continental Divide, with views of Longs Peak, Nederland, and the Alpine Lakes just west of the city, along with Bear Peak, Green Mountain, and the famous Flatirons. But be aware, calm eastern winds can shift suddenly to western, prompting a more difficult takeoff on 26G over the lake and trees with few opportunities for an emergency landing. Boulder glider pilots can also enjoy steady wave soaring when the weather hits just right during the year, allowing for extensive cross country travel along the Rockies to other states and back.
The airport itself features handcrafted buildings, infrastructure, and details around the entire airport boundary. Additionally, glider operations are included, with the addition of runway 8G/26G on the north side of the field, along with gliders, glider trailers, parking, Soaring Society of Boulder facilities, and Mile High Gliding facilities. You'll also find nearby points of interest for the two runway 8G outlanding fields: Elliot's Field and L-Shaped Field. For those who love details, you'll be happy to know that the custom runways and taxiways match the current airport layout, and the most recent aerial imagery of the airport's surrounding area has been cleaned up and is in the highest resolution available.
If you're looking to do some general aviation flying or enjoy some glider operations in a beautiful mountainous setting, be sure to check out Phobos_Designs' Boulder Municipal Airport scenery on Flightsim.to! Happy flying!
