About This File

FSX Scenery--Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport Dutch Caribbean. Saba Island uancho E. Yrausquin Airport is an airport on the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba. It is widely acknowledged as the smallest airport in the world, with a very short runway. The idea of building an airport on Saba is credited to Remy de Haenen, who brought the idea to the Saba Economic Council along with a contractor named Jacques Deldevert. De Haenen had previously made several landings of a Vought-Sikorsky OS2U seaplane off Fort Bay harbor as early as 1946. After surveying the island by air, de Haenen suggested then-privately owned Flat Point as the site for the airport. The land was cleared and graded in only a couple of weeks. De Haenen made the first landing of an aircraft on the island of Saba on February 9, 1959, with nearly the entire population of the island in attendance. By Roger Leupold.

Hi Roger, Thank you for this very nice airport upgrade. However on my setup there is an elevation discrepancy that causes parts of the runway to be underground. I have FSXSE Windows 7 and Orbx scenery. I have similar problems with some other airports but the Orbx AEC (Airport Elevation Correction) tool fixes it - but unfortunately SABA (TNCS) is not listed in the AEC tool so I can't fix it. Thank you in advance for a little help. Best wishes, Max
