Default Weirdest FS9 Airport Ever?

I don't know if this has been discussed or mentioned before, but I just
stumbled accross the weirdest Microsoft FS2004 airport that I have yet to
find. Try setting up a quick flight from Davis/Muskogee, Ok (KMKO) in FS9
using the default scenery. After takeoff, take a look around the airfield
that you just took off from. I think every student pilot should have to use
this airport for flight training!

Try landing on rwny 4... There's NOTHING under the 'asphalt!'

Try running off the edge of 31 while on your landing roll, and then
recover the fall without crashing into the canyon walls...

That's not the weirdest airport....it's the COOLEST!!
And the holes are real. Taxi off and down you go. :-)

But I think I might know how that airport came to be....Oklahoma is
tornado-country, isn't it? :-)

I think this is where Stephen King got the idea for the "langoliers"...

Norfolk Island (off the east coast of Australia) is another classic.

Its as real as it gets!!!!!!!!

There is a fix I saw posted, that fills in the holes, and makes it
worth the time to go there.
Coolest airport is Courcheval, but its a free addon..very cool

The reason Norflk Island is depicted that way is because it is actually a top
secret UFO/Aurora training facility run by the CIA :-)

That's not an island - it's an atoll at high tide!
Perhaps it is as a result of the French underwater nuclear tests at Bikini
Atoll

Cheers,

From touchdown to splashdown....

The FS World sure is a funky place.
Airports in holes, runways surrounded by holes, islands filled with
water, Prince Edward Island once completely under water, buildings
and trees on runways. Did I forget anything? ;-)

There are two other another anomalies worth exploring, although i cant
remember where they are (anyone?). There is a 60,000ft mountain peak in
south america, and a 30,000ft deep valley in the mid-west USA.
