WELCOME TO TINGWALL AIRPORT SHETLAND ISLANDS -- EGET 

Tingwall Airport (IATA: LWK, ICAO: EGET), also known as Lerwick/Tingwall Airport, is located in the Tingwall valley, near the village of Gott, 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) northwest of Lerwick on the mainland island of the Shetland, Scotland. Although it is the nearest airport to Lerwick, it is not Shetland's main airport. Shetland's main airport is at Sumburgh. Source WIKI

 Tingwall (EGET) airport was opened on the 20th of October 1976 by the then-councillor J.J. Johnson to replace the grass strip which existed slightly further south down the Tingwall Valley. The aerodrome is owned and operated by the Shetland Islands Council, to provide a base for inter-island air services to Foula, Fair Isle, Out Skerries and Papa Stour. There were also formerly flights to Unst and Fetlar by BN-2B Islander aircraft, and to Edinburgh by DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin-Otter aircraft, which still operate services to the Hebrides from there. 
The sole aircraft hangar on the airport existed originally at Sumburgh Airport (EGPB) until it was dismantled and rebuilt on the tarmac apron at Tingwall. 
Loganair held the contracts for inter-island air-transport flights and air ambulance flights both from the outer isles to the Shetland Mainland, and from Shetland to Aberdeen with several BN-2B Islander aircraft based at Tingwall, Kirkwall and Glasgow. Recently, the air-ambulance contract was awarded to Gama Aviation, who operate Beechcraft Kingair-200 aircraft (Based in Aberdeen) and a Sumburgh-based Aerospatiale AS-332L2 Puma helicopter which combines outer-isles air-ambulance duties with its main role as a standby rescue helicopter for offshore installations in the North Sea. There is also an Inverness-based Eurocopter EC-135 rescue helicopter which has seen regular use in outer-isles patient-transfers. Directflight Ltd was awarded the inter-island air-transport contract by the Shetland Islands Council, who had bought a new Islander - G-SICA and a refurbished ex-police Islander G-SICB for the new contract.

The Sumburgh-based coastguard rescue helicopter (Formerly the Bristow Helicopters-operated Sikorsky S-61 G-CGOC, affectionately known as 'Oscar Charlie' locally, now a Sikorsky S-92 series - G-SARC and G-CGOC among others) also use Tingwall as the closest airfield to the Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick to land patients from the Isles, offshore vessels and even oil installations. The Coastguard contract was recently awarded to CHC-Scotia, who brought the S-92s to the isles to replace the ageing S-61. The runway is 764M x 18M asphalt, with approach lights (to the South), obstacle lights, runway side, end, threshold and apron lights. Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs) for both directions are available. There is a Flight Information Service available to aircraft between 0830 and 1700 (Local time) Mon-Fri and 1030-1500 (Local) on Saturdays during the summer months on 125.300MHz. A non-directional beacon (NDB) operates permanently on 376KHz adjacent to the runway.
Avgas 100LL is available from the firemen/attendants during opening hours, and an aerodrome fire/rescue service to Cat-1 (Also Cat-2 on remission) is manned during opening hours.
There has been one fatal crash at Tingwall during its history, when an Islander returning from Aberdeen after a successful air-ambulance flight in May 1996 crashed approx 1500M South of the field in bad weather, fatally wounding the pilot and injuring a doctor and nurse who were aboard at the time.

Unzip and put into Custom Scenery - simple as that. This airport is, I hope, a replica of the real thing. I have also put in some surrounding area details, with a few surprises. Use rendering option-"airport detail extreme-roads extreme" (if not you will miss out on road lighting), For the purists like me who know there are not that many trees on the Shetlands I have put some roads in if you select no roads. The HDR effects are quite nice so try a night flight as well.

Welcome to Sumburgh Airport Sumburgh Airport (IATA: LSI, ICAO: EGPB) is the main airport serving Shetland in Scotland. It is located on the southern tip of the mainland, 17 NM (31 km; 20 mi) south of Lerwick.[1] The airport is owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) and served by Loganair (under franchise to FlyBe) as well as sometimes seasonally by Atlantic Airways. The airport is unusual in that it has a 550 m (1,804 ft) helicopter runway as opposed to usual helipad. The western end of runway 09 crosses the A970 road between Sumburgh and the northern mainland; access is controlled by a level crossing with barriers lowered whenever a flight is taking off or landing. Sumburgh Links was surveyed and the grass strips laid out by Capt. E. E. Fresson in 1936: the Airport was opened on June 3 of that year with the inaugural flight from Aberdeen (Kintore) by the De Havilland Dragon Rapide G-ACPN piloted by Fresson himself. It was also one of the first airfields to have RDF facilities due to the frequency of low cloud and fog coupled with the proximity of Sumburgh Head. The building of runways was at the instigation of Capt. Fresson who had proved to the Navy at Hatson that to maintain all round landing facilities over the winter months runways were essential. This was taken up by the RAF after the obvious success of the Hatson (Orkney) experiment. The former RAF Sumburgh airfield had two runways, the longest being 800 yd (730 m), and the shorter running a length of 600 yd (550 m) from shore-line to shore-line. No. 404 Squadron operated Beaufighter Mark VI and X aircraft from this station on coastal raids against Axis shipping off the coast of Norway and in the North Sea. On 1 April 1995, ownership of the Company transferred from the UK Civil Aviation Authority to the Secretary of State for Scotland and subsequently to the Scottish Ministers. Shetland is the home of otters, puffins & Shetland ponies. Sumburgh airport is the main airport serving Shetland and is situated approximately 25 miles south from the main town/port of Lerwick. The airport provides air links to Scotland's major cities, Orkney and Norway. Shetland is known for its distinctiveness and culture which is unlike that of anywhere else. Its roots lie deep in Viking with islands littered with Old Norse names and remains. It is a haven for birds being home to more than one million during the seasons. The Islands are also famous for great walking, cycling and touring, whale watching - Shetland Ponies and Fair Isle Knitwear to name but a few! Opening Hours Monday to Friday 06.30 - 20.30 Saturday 07.15 - 16.30 Sunday 10.15 - 20.30 Ok - So why did I give you the opening times - well because I search fairly extensively for night flight landings and found none, but then I realised that Shetland gets dark very early in winter - so next time you fly into Sumburgh in the dark - make a video! I need to thank some people Marginal - as ever I would be lost without your overlay editor, and other invaluable tools. I started with World Editor, so thanks to Ben at the org for allowing us to use this package. The Baron will always get a mention - he was my inspiration and got me back into designing, so thanks to him. VERY IMPORTANTLY - a huge thanks to Iain Murray of Scotflight. He allowed me to use his Sumburgh terminal obj, with lit textures. The guy was so helpful he even offered to make me a mini Sumburgh scenery. FSX designers are great people. Lastly - my wife whose patience knows no limits, supplier of tea and sympathy! YOU WILL NEED opensceneryx latest version. turn up our airport detail settings to extreme for best results not tried it in v8 but am almost sure it won't work there. ALL MY OWN WORK - apart from the terminal obj.

Leeds Bradford - EGNM You will need opensceneryx2, and FF_LIBRARY to take advantage of all of the scenery additions. I took an old MSFS conversion done by Mr 3D and totally reworked it to bring it into the V10.20B5 world. It is my local airport and has changed significantly from the one Mr 3D converted years ago. The Baron is my inspiration, as he takes little known and underloved airports and brings them into the 21 century. I like lots of lighting effects, but in this conversion I tried to keep to what is actually there, so I spend weeks tweaking the airport with google maps and microsoft bing maps as my guide. Hope you like the airport. All my own work, and done with Mr 3D's blessing.
