Looks like the castle has it's own private runway.

It's one of my common visits in FS 2004 during my daily trips from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and back,  following the Pacific Coastal Route along Highway 1.

It's part of the Autogen Scenery.

It is close to Rancho San Simeon runway....66CA

Paul....FS9.... 8-)...!

P.S. A search will reveal a Scenery add-on for Hearst Castle, including the Runway.
