YPND Pentland Airstrip - Australia is a small dirt strip that provides aeromedical services to Pentland town and the surrounding district. This replaces the default Pentland Airfield and includes the following features: Runway 06-24 with lighting. (An unusual feature for a dirt strip, but it's there in real life!) Three small general aviation parking spots (to start cold and dark). The default had parking, but it was inappropriate with 6 small GA spots and fuel all located in the adjacent horse paddock. (it was just wrong!) Dirt taxiways for AI flights (they're indistinguishable from the runway by us humans!) A windsock. (There's one in real life too.) A Street Light on a pole to illuminate the parking in low light conditions. (Can't recall if there's one in real life.) Pentland is a rural town and locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census, the locality of Pentland had a population of 306 people.Wikipedia This little town has a place in my heart, as there's a lot of history here for my ancestors. I recently went there and have included some images of the real airfield!
