Never before seen pictures of the secret Paintshop and Maintenance facility.

In order to keep upcoming paint jobs from being leaked before they are ready for service, CVA operates a remote Maintenance facility. When there are no aircraft in for paint or maintenance, the facility is locked up and security looks after it however after finding these pics on the security guards Facebook page, we may be looking for a new security guard!!!




That little Mitsubishi was purchased to patrol the airport, not go off-road mountain climbing!!!




Well that lets the cat out of the bag, it is definitely the CVA Aircraft Engineering Division field....




With a single 7500 foot runway complete with ILS, we can accommodate most anything in the fleet. All this and only 100 miles from TNCM so R&R time is close by.

Well you know in the security dept. they're use to being in doodoo Chuck it's only the depth that varies. Take the time they kept screaming "runway incursion" on the radio of the Mitsubishi, but we couldn't see anybody encroaching the runway at all :



And never mind the maintenance facility itself just outside the airport is the pride of CVA's chain of hotels "The Admiral Benbow" (well okay it's more like a truckers honky tonk) but all the CVA management hangs out there on a Friday night so we had to take measures to ensure they got home safe and sound. Every Friday night (faithfully I might add) you can see the CVA security "taxi" patrolling the Admiral Benbow looking for the likes of Darryl Chuck and Frank.



The truck was subjected to stringent testing before being certified CVA worthy

Flaps up:


Flaps down, ok! good to go!


You oughta recognize this scenerio Chuck as usually it's yourself and Darryl who try to elude the old CVA taxi by walking down the railroads tracks but security is always waiting for you isn't it?

That is just too cool, Gents!

It's the Island of Montserrat but I dont see a airport there in FSX, probably because the volcano
destroyed the airports in 2006 and 2010. Thanks CVA management great place to holiday......

Cool! Chuck, does this mean we will be practicing in case of flights like British Airways Flight 9?

That would be because it is only on my computer. A little something I have been playing with using Airport Designer. There is only one non default item at the airport and that is the CVAAE sign which is actually modeled and stuck to the hangar. I have been having a hoot exploring the island by ground.
