El Hierro – the westernmost island of the Canaries, and surely the most breathtaking one!
Its rugged terrain, unpredictable weather, and the short 1,250m runway make it a true test of skill for every pilot. Do you have what it takes to land safely?
With steep cliffs at both ends, there's little room for error. Miss your mark, and you might not get a second chance!

In short, a great little airport let down by a lack of detail away from the main terminal area, and low-res,, presumably default ground ortho. What is included is well-modelled, however, and texture resolution is generally very good. The terminal building and its landside are beautifully done, the ground textures are decent (although ground markings could be sharper), apron clutter reflects reality, and the airfield terraforming is aesthetically convincing.
In spite of the faults, highly recommended if you enjoy island-hopping in the Canaries. Incidentally, this release means we now have decent payware versions of all Canaries airports.
