About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Pompano Beach Airpark Airport (KPMP), Florida (FL), serves Pompano Beach and Broward County and is owned by the City Of Pompano Beach. The airport has more than one runway. The longest is a paved runway extending 4420 feet. The facility is at an elevation of 21 feet at a distance of about one mile from Pompano Beach. Pompano Beach Airport was constructed during World War II as a satellite training field serving the Naval Air Station located at what is now Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. On August 29, 1947, the City of Pompano Beach obtained the airport under the Surplus Property Act of 1944 and renamed it Pompano Beach Air Park, due to its intent to limit the airport's usage to general aviation. For the same reason, the City shortened runway 15-33 from its original length of 5000 feet to its current length of 4420 feet in 1971. Requires Nova, Nova Gold and NovaSim Textures, TrafficTools v2.x and AFCAD v2.x. The Lago FSE scenery enhancement is optional. By John B. Loney, Jr.
