I have FSX acceleration and want to expand on my local airport (S07 - Bend, Oregon, USA) (actually it is KBDN but FSX has the old ICAO designator)

How do I start, what do I download and how do I place AI and Static airplanes at my airport?

Download and install ADE9X: http://www.scruffyduckscenery.co.uk/

Be careful that it needs the SDK installed too, for FSX.

Read the instructions and learn to use it. Unless you want to go fancy, ADE9X is everything you need.

Thank you. Now, how do I get AI airplanes and static models into this airport?

Here you're getting fancy and opening a whole different can of worms.

Sorry. Cannot help you. Were you using FS9, I could tell you how to use and what to use to get a custom AI traffic (was never interested in static models... just too bloody stupid having inert planes permanently hogging potentially useful parkings), but having never adopted FSX for myself, I never took the time to learn this sim's AI editing and creating. :-/
