Legoboyvdlp plans to work on all the airports of Venezuela, and hopes to finish sometime in the next two years. Of course, again, contact him at the provided email address if you have any resources on airports not documented in e.g. Wikipedia such as SVAO (Altagracia de Orituco) which does not even exist in FG yet! | Legoboyvdlp plans to work on all the airports of Venezuela, and hopes to finish sometime in the next two years.

=== Saudi Arabia === | |||
a new terminal addition to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At over 465,000 square meters, the Hajj Terminal is among the world’s largest air terminals as it covers over 100 acres. It's made to accommodate a large number of pilgrim passengers at once in a large open-air environment. Tent-like structures made of fibreglass fabric, with the purpose of reflecting solar radiation while retaining cultural themes, are raised at ~20 Meters and supported by 45 meters high, white steel columns. We encourage you to visit OEJN to appreciate the scale and exotic nature of this structure. To know more about how it was modelled or any feedback visit: [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26971 modeling the Hajj Terminal, for OEJN] | |||
special thanks goes to VicMar, Thorsten and Gsagostinho for support. | |||
