If I can provide plenty of photos and info, can someone with the appropriate skills create:

Kapalua - West Maui Airport (JHM/PHJH) in Hawaii, preferably for 2004, but FSX is ok too?

Sample info:
http://www.airnav.com/airport/PHJH

It's a really small airfield that I have been around recently, and would make for an absolutely amazing island hopping destination in the Hawaiian islands. Great views of the Maui coast, along with the islands of Lanai and Molokai on arrival or departure. Really small quiet field with only the occasional Island Air Dash-8 coming and going. Not even a permanent GA presence there other than some passing through for an hour or so. A quiet island-style destination with no jets or choppers allowed either!

Thanks for any interest!

What in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert th' Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.

No, I can't really help you much here.

Ok.....

Hoping for helpers with this. I can provide pretty much as much info as anyone would possibly need for this little field.

Hi Jordan!

Here are some websites to get you started. I'm not going to be available for questions for the next 1.5 days possibly (long airline flight ahead) so I'll try to give you a couple links right now.

Oh, and on the below website, even though the pics were taken in the '90s, the place looks exactly the same!

Note that there are multiple pages of pictures. ^^

Thanks for that, Jordan!

Those two links are probably all that is necessary for such a small field, but let me know if you need anything else.

Best of luck with it Jordan.

What surprised me while being there is that this airport is quieter than the Hana Airport. When I was there , with the exception of one Island Air Dash-8 (our flight) and a FedEx Cessna Caravan, the place was deserted. No aircraft on the ramp or anything.

Jordan,

Well.....the airport isn't even equipped with mobile airstairs, so the only "gate" markings I guess would be the numbers on the ends of the taxiway lines. There are no numerical markings on the building itself.

EDIT:
PERFECT RESOURCE!!!
Go into MSN/Bing maps.
Zoom in on the airport.
Access "Bird's Eye View"
Zoom in all the way.
Voila. Clear "gate" numbers and all runway/taxiway markings!!!
