I may have found another small Airport to work on in Vermont. . .Bennington Airport (William H. Morse State Airport). I have enough reference to start but if anyone is familiar with the Airport and can put me on to any good photo resources, let me know.
 
Ughhh, if only I had a car... (I only have a company truck) I've worked near there many times. It's about a 2 hour drive from me...

Now if you later decide to do Middlebury State (6B0) I can get shots of that as it is literally 5 minutes down the road from me.
 
That's a tall order Brian, lots of buildings. If you have the time it would be great to get some usable textures to wrap the models I build with.
 
Basics are done (ADE, Ramp, Rwy, Taxiways, Parking Spots and ground texture), Night map and water areas also set. Now I'll start on the buildings based on what images I've been able to find online.
 
I actually got down to Bennington today for work. I only has a few minutes but I got a couple of shots from the parking lot showing some of the rear of the main hangar, the sign at the entrance to the airport and the back of the closest T-hangars to the lot. Just waiting for them to sync from my phone to my PC.

Edit. I have some of the pics... ED send me a PM here with an e-mail I can send them too and I'll get em' out to you.benn1.jpg benn2.jpg benn2-5.jpg benn3.jpg

I have 5 shots from the roughly the same spot in the closest rear lot behind the FBO office
 
Well, to my surprise someone sent me 2 shots of the building in question. Turns out it's the EAA Headquarters (a trailer with a porch).
 
Ed, in the second shot above of the preliminary object placing. Where the road to the airport meets the street is where the airport sign is. Facing left back towards the town.
 
Hangars and EAA Clubhouse in place. Also placed some 3D people and vehicles to start. Set vegetation just in the area of this shot to get a look at how it will look once all the trees and bushes are in place. My BBQ Grill by the Clubhouse is over the top. I'm gonna have to find a smaller "smoke" effect, lol
