By default, the small general aviation airports that dot the landscape are often the most poorly represented in Microsoft Flight Simulator. And by our opinion, by far one of the worst is Stanly County Airport (identifier KVUJ).Before using this scenery, load Flight Simulator and look at the default rendition of the airport. Note especially the layout of the taxiways (representative of what the airport looked like a decade ago or more), and the location of the control tower. In the real world, this airport is a beautiful, modern facility located in a beautiful, modern community with amazing local scenery. This package has attempted to capture the real look and feel of one of the First in Flight state's greatest airports.

This is the Stanly County Airport (KVUJ) for Flight Simulator X! The Stanly County Airport is located right outside of Albemarle, North Carolina, in the central part of the state. The airport is a joint use facility between civilian aviation and the North Carolina Air National Guard, which uses the airport as a training center for the 118th Air Support Operations Squadron, and the 145th Airlift Wing out of Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, whose emblem is marked on the air traffic control tower at Stanly County. The tower is staffed by the 235th Air Traffic Control Squadron.

KVUJ is equipped with two parallel runways, the main runway being 4R/22L at 5,500x100ft. , and the smaller 4L/22R, at 3,500x75ft. , and used primarily by NC Air National Guard C-130s. The airport is home to a county operated FBO, aircraft maintenance, and turbine repair facility.
