EDIT 11/02/24: The real Agua Caliente is officially closed for a while. The runway has large fissures and places where the soil was bubbling beneath the asphalt. It seems to be a million dollar operation. Very possibly we'll see the NOTAM "!SAN 02/026 L54 AD AP CLSD 2402061855-2408312359" renewed. Enjoy Agua Caliente in MSFS!
Agua Caliente Springs Airport serves residents of rural east San Diego County and visitors to Agua Caliente Hot Springs County Park. It's located 95 miles east of San Diego. The airfield looks like a blacktop field next to a two-lane desert highway in the middle of nowhere. Approach runway 11 is challenging and weather permit it's highly recommended to land on runway 29.
Agua Caliente is part of County of San Diego airport and one my freeware covering GA airports (https://flightsim.to/collection/35/san-diego-general-aviation-airports)
