This is a project that I've had in mind for a while, and I would happily put in a few man hours to see this happen. EDIT: A LOT of man hours.
So, Dave, how far fetched would it be to build a mock, (Or real, if someone is crazy enough to willingly land their plane at the field),
airstrip at either:
A) The edge of the town
B) Far edge of trenches
I think an airfield would make some pretty interesting objective-based missions, like "seize the airfield" or "escort the convoy to the airfield."
For practicality at the edge of the town, if a control tower were build to accompany the airfield, this could make for some interesting long distance engagements from the two-story control tower at the field, and the tower in the center of the town.
For practicality at the edge of the trenches, it would be a pretty great area for someone to take the two-story control tower to have overwatch over the entire trench area. Also, we can have a longer "escort the convoy to the airfield" mission
We could even have a replica (or real, disabled cessna like the one in the trenches) aircraft on the field as a prop.
As for construction of the airfield, I think just clearing the land for a short strip would suffice, I think laying pavement would be a tad bit expensive.
So, we should be looking at 2 containers, converting one to two stories, land clearing, and (optional) aircraft.
Thoughts? Opinions? Too pricey?
I've attached an image for the town idea I have in mind.
