Bend Municipal Airport (KBDN)
Located on approximately 420 acres, five miles northeast of Bend, Oregon, the Bend Municipal Airport (KBDN) caters to the needs of general aviators, hosts two flight training schools, and is home to numerous businesses. Their combined operations make Bend the third busiest airport in the state in terms of takeoffs and landings. The airport has a single 5,260-foot runway and full length dual parallel taxiways.
Author's Note:
This is my first attempt at making an airport, and I figured a small and simple one like Bend would be good to learn on. There may be some inaccuracies and some of the edges are a bit rough but it's still more accurate than vanilla. Buildings are Asobo stock/world update models and autogen. Includes night lighting.

This is my home airport and I have to say this scenery is very well done. Some of the buildings don't quite look right, but I cant complain about a free add-on that's done at this level of detail. Thank you for doing this!

Any chance you are eyeing Redmond?

I'd actually love to work on Redmond, but I can't really do custom models and I think Redmond deserves its terminal!

Hah, yeah Google actually has photogrammetry of all of Bend which I dabbled a little bit in that conversion tool to try and get Old Mill into it since the smokestacks are a VFR landmark by the river. It worked, but trying to do the whole city just crashes FS for me, not to mention the actual data download/conversion takes a long time and the ground geometry doesn't line up at all so there's a small gap at the transition :(

If you make more Oregon airports (with satellite imagery and some custom objects) I am sure there would be donations involved in the future. 😉
