Solent Airport
Located on the South coast between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, Solent Airport began its history in 1917 as a Naval seaplane training school. Training continued throughout both World Wars, with the airfield being commissioned “HMS Daedalus” in 1939.
By the 1960’s, HMS Daedalus began hovercraft trials to test hovercraft for interservice military uses. These trials continued until 1982 before being closed.

Located on the South coast between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, Solent Airport began its history in 1917 as a Naval seaplane training school. Training continued throughout both World Wars, with the airfield being commissioned “HMS Daedalus” in 1939.
By the 1960’s, HMS Daedalus began hovercraft trials to test hovercraft for interservice military uses. These trials continued until 1982 before being closed. Today, the hovercraft museum offers visitors the chance to browse the largest collection of hovercraft in the world.
HMS Daedalus was formally closed in 1996, but brought back into existence when Fareham Borough Council purchased the site in 2015. It was officially renamed Solent Airport in 2016.
Today, Solent Airport is a busy civilian airfield, with local flight schools Phoenix Aviation and Hampshire Aeroplane Club, the HM Coastguard Search and Rescue and Spitfires. com all calling it their home.

- Transparent and translucent glass panes can appear very dark when subject to particle effects such as rain, snow and fog. This is a known bug that Asobo/Microsoft are aware of and will hopefully fix in the near future.
- In rare occasions the North-side custom ground imagery can be covered by the default photogrammetry ground textures. Symptoms are a clear line between green and brown grass colour close to the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Park. Possible workarounds for when this issue is encountered are returning to the main menu and reloading into the airfield, or by turning photogrammetry off, then back on. We continue to investigate the root cause of this behaviour.

Popham Airfield
Situated along side the A303, just north of Winchester, Popham Airfield is home to the Spitfire Flying Club.
In the early 1970’s the land alongside the A303 was purchased by Jim Espin, a member of the Hampshire Strut of the Popular Flying Association. With the aid of fellow members of the Strut, the land was cleared, levelled, seeded and transformed into an airstrip. The original strip is now the 26/08 runway of the present airfield.

In the early 1970’s the land alongside the A303 was purchased by Jim Espin, a member of the Hampshire Strut of the Popular Flying Association. With the aid of fellow members of the Strut, the land was cleared, levelled, seeded and transformed into an airstrip. The original strip is now the 26/08 runway of the present airfield. In 1978, the airfield was purchased by Charles Church, an avid collector of Spitfires. A second runway was added and the airfield was expanded to include additional hangers.
Today, Popham Airfield welcomes over 10,000 visitors annually and is famous for hosting many events over the year, including the Microlight trade fair in May, the annual Motorcycle Mega Meet, Classic Car Show and Vintage Aircraft Fly-in in August and the New Year’s Day Fly-in.
It is also home to the world’s only “Ikarus C42 As” flight training simulator. This allows the Popham-based flight school, AirBourne Aviation (www. flyMAC. co. uk), to offer flight training to its students no matter the weather conditions. This makes AirBourne Aviation the UK’s ONLY all-weather flight school.
Popham Airfield has been painstakingly recreated by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders undertaking multiple on-site visits and flights. We have worked in collaboration with AirBourne Aviation to ensure the highest levels of accuracy. It features:
- Over 160 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Popham airfield, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) allowing for extremely realistic textures.
- Thousands of carefully placed stock assets, every cone, car, sign and fence has been placed in it’s correct location ensuring an atmosphere of a working airfield.
- High resolution colour corrected ground textures taken from Bing maps and manipulated for consistency and realism which far surpasses the quality of the stock Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 ground texture.
- Working custom Signal Square, which accurately shows the most suitable runway for the wind conditions.
- Dynamic smoke effects, signs and car park, which change realistically depending on the time of day.
- New control tower built in 2020.
- Based on 2023 layout with over 30 new hangars
- Numerous custom aircraft have been added around Popham to enhance the realism and better reflect actual aircraft found at the airfield:
- Ikarus C42 (AirBourne Aviation school aircraft: G-CCYR and G-CDVI)
- Spitfire F Mk. Ia
- Yakovlev Yak-52 (G-YAKI and G-YAKX – both real aircraft based at Popham)
- Yakovlev Yak-12
- De Havilland Chipmunk
- Correct AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway and runway placement have been incorporated into the airfield.
- Key navigational landmarks in the surrounding area have been included:
- White Arrow – used by pilots to line up on the offset approach to 26
- Water Tower
- Grain Silos at Micheldever
- Polytunnels – marking the downwind leg of the 08-26 circuit
- BP and Esso fuel stations
- Starbucks (A303 North and South)
- Popham MX Track
- Test Valley Golf Course
- In honour of the car and motorcycle events hosted at Popham, the car park includes:
- 1946 Vespa scooter
- 1955 Volkswagen Transporter ‘T1’
- 1963 Austin Mini
- 1970 Porsche 911
- 1990 Mazda MX-5 ‘Mk1’
- 2017 Yamaha YZF-R3

It has two parallel roughly north–south runways measuring 3,600 metres (11,811 ft) and 2,950 metres (9,678 ft) and 71 aircraft stands, of which 50 have jet bridges. The airport is connected to the city center by the high-speed railway Gardermoen Line served by mainline trains and Flytoget. The percentage of passengers using public transport to get to and from the airport is one of the highest in the world at nearly 70%. The ground facilities are owned by Oslo Lufthavn AS, a subsidiary of the state-owned Avinor. Also at the premises is Gardermoen Air Station, operated by the Royal Norwegian Air Force. An expansion with a new terminal building and a third pier opened in late April 2017. nnThe airport location was first used by the Norwegian Army from 1940, with the first military airport facilities being built during the 1940s. The airport remained a secondary reserve and airport for chartered flights to Oslo Airport, Fornebu, until 8 October 1998, when the latter was closed and an all-new Oslo Airport opened at Gardermoen, costing 11. 4 billion Norwegian kroner (NOK)

KBFM - Mobile Intl. Airport New
Mobile International Airport (IATA/FAA: BFM, ICAO: KBFM) is located within the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, approximately three nautical miles south of downtown Mobile and directly beside Mobile Bay. The airport combines two substantial runways with immediate road, rail and maritime access. Its unusually varied traffic includes aircraft manufacturing and delivery flights, cargo services, maintenance operations, business and general aviation, charters and occasional military movements.
The ai... Mobile International Airport (IATA/FAA: BFM, ICAO: KBFM) is located within the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, approximately three nautical miles south of downtown Mobile and directly beside Mobile Bay. The airport combines two substantial runways with immediate road, rail and maritime access. Its unusually varied traffic includes aircraft manufacturing and delivery flights, cargo services, maintenance operations, business and general aviation, charters and occasional military movements.
The airfield originated as Bates Field, Mobile's first municipal airport, established in 1929. The United States Army Air Corps acquired the site in 1938, after which it developed into Brookley Army Air Field and later Brookley Air Force Base. During the Second World War, Brookley became a major aircraft overhaul, supply and logistics centre whose waterfront location allowed aircraft and components to arrive by ship. At its wartime peak, the installation employed approximately 17,000 civilian workers.
The closure of Brookley Air Force Base in 1969 had a severe impact on the regional economy, but the extensive runways, aprons and hangars gave the site a strong foundation for recovery. One of Brookley's most unusual later operations occurred in 1984, when Space Shuttle Enterprise arrived aboard NASA's modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft before being transferred by barge to the Louisiana World Exposition in New Orleans.
Brookley's modern transformation accelerated after Airbus selected Mobile in 2012 for its first commercial-aircraft final assembly facility in the United States. A320-family production began in 2015, A220 manufacturing followed in 2019, and a second A320-family line opened in 2025. Today, the aerospace campus includes production hangars, paint shops, logistics buildings and aircraft-delivery facilities, creating an operating environment rarely encountered at a regional airport.
Passenger service returned to KBFM in 2019 through a compact two-gate terminal. The airport is now being prepared to assume Mobile's principal scheduled passenger role, with a new approximately 143,000-square-foot terminal planned to open in spring 2027. The initial development provides five contact gates, an elevated roadway, rental-car facilities, surface parking and a five-storey parking garage, with future expansion planned.
This scenery captures KBFM during one of the most important periods in its history. The operational airfield, Airbus manufacturing campus, maintenance and cargo facilities, surviving Brookley infrastructure and developing passenger-terminal complex combine to offer an exceptional setting for airliner, delivery, cargo, military and general aviation operations.
