I'm not really sure, of course, but I think that is why this Tour is called the "Rockies Tour", in and around the Rocky Mountains.....;)...!

LOL... ;D...!

...I kid ye not...>>>

A zoom into FS Navigator airfields throughout the world reveals many strange names.... ;)...!

(Note that zooming in also reveals that there is no Gas Pump there!).

Paul.... 8)...!

Corrected the airfield name

Denver airfield at the end of the Hop....
...note the location of the Fuel Pump at the bottom of the airfield shown as a small red square containing white dots...>>>

The yellow arrows are the ILS glide slopes....(the radio frequencies can also be shown).
