PTAM - Mokapu - Oahu, Hawaii, USA

File Description:
PTAM is quite a large airport located in beautiful Mokapu, on O'ahu in Hawaii, just over the mountains from Honolulu. It was designed to be a universal testing ground for new aircraft or flight training since the facilities are more than prepared for any scenario. From the varying length runways, full instrument approaches and navigational beacons, to the impressive nearby terrain, PTAM replaces the completely closed and unused airbase XBEL, or Bellows AFB. If you were to visit Bellows AFB in real life today you wouldn't find much except some old runways with plants poking through, some sporadic housing, a tennis court (?!), and a nearby golf course (as per Google Imagery circa late 2011). The flat land that was once used for an airbase combined with beautiful mountains and beaches makes this a prime location for new airport!
