This is home to the smallerAeroworks Concept aircraft and you can find them in just about every hangar at the Test Center, but I did leave a few available for parking. Smaller in this case means anything that can takeoff from the 6000ft. runway. Even though I have taken off and landed here in the 737, the largest aircraft based here is the TR-3A Stryker stealth bomber, and there are a few in the larger hangars near the shipping dock.  This place was originally designed as the base of a Helicopter VA called Liberty Air, and I was chosen to design their homebase.  It was to have alot of static aircraft of their main helicopter, which was created and painted by Captain Slug!  It was to be a small island with one runway and MANY helipads.

 Nathan Rayl of Liberty Air is the one who gave me the idea and actually layed out the basic shape of the island itself and sent a bitmap image to me.  When the VA failed to takeoff I decided to use the island as a test center for my aerobatic planes and, later on, the ARX-Concepts. Subsequently every aircraft I have made since the Dark Eagle II has been tested and perfected here. There are static versions of the Dark Eagle and Dark Eagle II sitting outside the main hangar. The early pics of the island can be seen here. It was originally created with Airport 2.10 for FS98, however I decided to rework it to FS2000 standards with FSSC.  FSSC allows use of the FS2000 Airport Facility Directory as well as the GPS feature, and you can find this airport by going to the Airport menu and searching for the Airport ID "AFC1" or by going to Carribean menu and searching for "Bermuda Triangle" under Countries. Also you can click FS6 and before scenery and find other starting points on the island other than runways.

Runways:
Rio Palm Isle consists of 3 different runways of different types and uses.  The main runway is 30/12 (asphalt) which is 6000 x 150 feet and contains an ILS with DME & Glideslope on Runway 30. It is used for most everything that can be flown in and out of the island, mainly larger aircraft and ILS testing on the smaller ones.  Runway 36/18 (concrete) is 2500 x 100 feet and it is what I use for the main runway of the aerobatic planes and light jets.  The hangar with the doors open provides a unique challenge for you aspiring stunt pilots out there.  Runway 9/27 (gravel) is 2000 x 100 and is something I added when I was working on the ARX-1 Glider, and I use it for STOL testing and powerful aerobtic planes that can hop right out of it.  It also provides a unique challenge as the approach end of Rwy 27 is displaced 400 feet due to the palm trees lined up along the waterway!  It requires a bit of planning to land there and it is good for planes with spoilers like the Glider.  There's also a static glider in the Hangar at Rwy 27 as well.
