Hi everyone!
Many airports in Spain that serve both as a military airfield and a civil airport are missing in the sim.
I can recall, at least, LEZG (Zaragoza), LEVD (Valladolid), LEAB (Albacete) or LELC (Murcia San Javier). This one is now a military exclusive airfield as a new civil airport (LEMI) was built in recent years.
As you said in your post Zaragoza is a very important hub cargo in southern Europe and Valladolid is a destination for some Ryanair flights.
Maybe there is a request by Spanish autorities about national security concerns…
Greetings from Spain.
These airports were in FS2004 the problem is that they are blurred in Bing maps. It seems that these airports must be generated “by hand”…
No secrets in LEZG: Ejército del Aire - Organización - Emplazamiento
When landing, to reach the civil terminal commercial aircraft go very close to the F18’s parked in the fighter military area.
Sure! As you said there is no room for secrets in this kind of airfields where so many people fly each year…
Maybe it’s related to availability of aerial photographs of the terrain in Bing Maps. In Iberpix (the official site of GIS data in Spain) you can clearly see the civil area of LEZG but the military area remains blurred.
By the way, I guess from your badge you’re from Zaragoza… aren’t you?
Saludos from Alicante, then…

Then be surprised. It hasn’t been added. Just as the southern part of the Malaga airport is still missing.
I’m really dissappointed with that World Update. Adding POI’s is always great, but the first job on the list should be to get all Airports in the covered area right.
If an airport is hidden in Bing maps, is not automatically generated. If is in Bing it is done with little work and they dont’t use another source (map or addon) that will require a dedicated time.
Also they could have considered this:
But requires extra work…
The Airhispania LEZG has been present since FS2004 and the MSFS version is perfect.
