Unique Features or Challenges
This is a mid-sized airport that can handle A-F Aircraft and can have the challenge of using two runways. These runways don’t cross each other, so it can be a good challenge to use what runway for what use. This airport is surrounded by the ocean and islands, so lots of small aircraft.
