NC06 - Elk River Airport
NC06 is a private airstrip located just outside the town of Banner Elk, NC. The only runway is 30/12 (4600x75 ft or 1402/23 m) which slopes downward from 30 to 12. Approaches can be made from either end but 12 is preffered for landing while 30 is preffered for takeoff. The approach to either end of runway 30/12 is notoriously challenging due to the surrounding terrain. Even given the difficult approach and narrow runway it is not uncommon to see light jets and high performance turboprops maneuvering their way into this small field.

Great work. I particularly love the work on the terraforming having to taxi with a lot of precaution. I also appreciate the very local signs at holding point. Anything that can make as much as possible different from a generic MSFS field.

Hey since SU10 there is a massive, tall tree now dead center on the approach for runway 12 that you have to dive over. Any chance of an update to remove this tree?

Copy that, thanks for the heads up! I'll try to get that fixed when I have some time.

This airport/scenery is a great addition when completing the WU10 Bush Trip " Appalachian Summits" (leg 5).

Hello, thank you so much for making this field (I was one of the original requesters of it and 2NC0 Mountain Air last year). I have flown into Elk River IRL but so far not Mountain Air although I hope to at some point. You did a great job and BTW, it seems to work fine in SU7. Thank you again!

I really missed making these small airports. I did all the SDK work and 3D modeling on a Sunday. Way more fun than some of the regionals which were month long endeavors :)

Very nice job on this little gem, esp the terraforming and custom objects. Thanks. I would really love to see your take on 2NC0 Mountain Air, one of my all-time favorites.

Thank you very much! It looks like someone here has already done 2NC0 (https://flightsim.to/file/3701/2nc0) so I don't want to step on their toes and make a duplicate.
