What is the smallest island in Fs2004 with an runway? I'm at wake island right now. Please post the airport code and a pic  ;D

Saba, ICAO: SABA, no pic yet. don't forget a arrester hook

The smallest island in the world - according to the Guiness Book of Records - is Bishop Rock. It lies at the most south-westerly part of the United Kingdom. It is one of 1040 islands around Britain and only has a lighthouse on it. In 1861, the British government set out the parameters for classifying an island. It was decided that if it was inhabited, the size was immaterial. However, if it was uninhabited, it had to be "the summer's pasturage of at least one sheep" - which is about two acres.

You can use a helicopter and winch to get their!  ;)

Ivan,
The default Saba is flat - you can get addon scenery here(http://www.flytradewind.org/scenery/carib.htm) to make it look more normal.

The island is still small!

I flew from Miami to Key West then to Dry Tortugas.  In one of the outer keys, I noticed a small island with  just a dirt runway.  It's definately smaller than Midway.  As you're following Highway 1, after you pass the 7 mile bridge, begin looking to your right.  You'll see a runway on one of the middle keys parallel to highway 1, that's not it.  I believe that's Marathon.

Also, I believe I remember seeing another dirt strip on one of the Islands that make up Dry Tortugas.  It's just southwest of Key West.

Summerland Key Cove (X20)....

East of Key West...

Dirt strip next to some houses on a tiny key ...

Ooops - forgot to mention - looks better using the freeware FreeFlow Ultimate Florida add-on ...

If only the Republic of Cuervo Gold had a runway . . .

Thanks for the heads up for the FreeForm package

I reckon Isla San Felix, in the South Pacific off the coast of Chile, takes some beating  :)
