About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Stephenville CYJT, in Newfoundland, Canada. Stephenville is on the east coast of Canada, and the airport was an American base from 1941, when it was built, until 1966. It was named the "Ernest Harmon Airforce Base" and I will leave that for you to research if you wish to know more. Operating in my version (around 2010?) as a civilian airport, its main features are a long 10,000 feet 09-27 runway (with ILS on 27) and acres of empty space. The runway was one of those designated as an emergency space shuttle landing runway if required. There is a shorter 20-02 runway (3,000 feet) that is not maintained during the winter (and which would be closed in 2018). The revised perimeter fence of the airport now encloses less than half of the original area, with the northern parts replanned as an industrial park. The attached screenshot from Google Earth shows this, and also that the main operating part of the airport is at the western end of the main runway, with only one hangar connecting to the runway from the eastern end.
