Originally built in 1936, Bellingham International Airport (KBLI/BLI) is three miles northwest of Bellingham, in Whatcom County, Washington. Being just across the border from Canada and 78 miles north of Seattle, Bellingham International Airport is popular with low cost air carriers such as Allegiant Air and Alaska Airlines. The largest passenger destination from Bellingham is to Las Vegas’ McCarran International, Nevada. Bellingham is currently the 3rd largest commercial airport in Washington State. Bellingham is at one end of the Alaska Marine Highway, a hub for cruises and flights to and from the San Juan Islands (and Victoria, British Columbia). It is also a gateway to the mountains of northern Washington and Canada (including Mount Baker, which sits on Bellingham's doorstep). As well as the deserts of Eastern Oregon, Washington and Nevada to the south. In the non-sim world, Bellingham is an eco-friendly city which encourages cycling around the city streets and walking a beautiful network of trails that traverse local parks.

I work for Allegiant at KBLI, and I must say this is an excellent representation of the airport. My only problems are little nit-picky things, for example... During the daytime, you can see right into the terminal from the outside through the windows, which isn't true to life - the windows are heavily tinted and you cannot see a thing looking inside from out on the ramp unless you're right next to the windows. Another thing it that it does not come with dynamic ramp lighting at night. This is a shame, but fortunately iniBuilds has a dynamic lighting profile for this airport which works alright. Overall a very solid buy!
Nice little scenery. Excellent frame rates and the detail is very good. I would have given it a 5 but 34 CDN dollars is steep for a scenery this size. Its a small airport so i don't necessarily agree with the price but nonetheless it is a good scenery for those looking to fly into a different airport.
