ENSS – Vardø Airport Svartnes v1.0
Svartnes is a STOL airport serving the municipality of Vardø in northern Norway. It is primarily operated by Widerøe DHC 8s, and was recently (2019) re-paved with new GA parkings. As with the rest of the region the airport enjoys a very dry climate; virtually all precipitation falls during winter. Ceilings at this airport are frequently low and fog often rolls in from the east to reduce visibility.
This airport uses 100% default assets plus a few custom apron-runway textures.
