Kern Valley Airport was one of my favorite small airfield in FSx/P3D. Nor only because of the
great rendition by Orbx but also because the region was stunning: Isabella lake, Kern river, the south of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the runway into the valley. It’s also a pilot’s challenge due to the high altitude + high temperature. Did I mention the wind also?
