Anyone want to operate on THIS particular 1:1 layout? Try the airport at Gisborne, New Zealand. THis looks like a 1940's photo, but still, pretty amazing shot. Wonder if that airport ( and rail line ) is still in existance?

I thought it was a Photoshop or computer rendering at first. It is still in operation.
