EHTX Texel International Airport

Texel, North-Holland, the Netherlands
Texel International Airport is a small grass airport on the island of Texel (Tessel) in the Netherlands.
Although the airport itself isn't particularly big, runway 04/22 is allegedly one of the largest grass runways in western Europe (1115x40m). Usually the airfield permits only aircraft of to 6000kg MTOW, however with special permission (depending on weather conditions) heavier aircraft can land here.
Some special visitors with an MTOW obviously larger than 6 tonnes are a Fokker 60 Utility (23t kg) and touch & go's from Fokker 100 aircraft fresh from the Fokker plant (44,5t kg). Fokkers were a regular sight at this fun airport.
Runway 13/31 is quite a bit shorter but in strong N/W S/E winds it is very useful. (630x40m)
Happy Landings!

Please take a look for realism, just like most Dutch airfields Texel has quite strict approach and departure procedures, even special weekend and weekday procedures.
