Look, how the Japanese build airports.

EHM-0744 Alex:
Woah... then Japan's regional airports must be really big!;D

EHM-0240 Joe:
Incredible isn't it. There was a bit about this in my Geography exam earlier this year. Apparently to build it they just quarried loads of soil from somewhere in the Japanese countryside, took it to the coast in thousands of lorries and then put it in ships which just dumped it on the seabed. I wouldn't like landing there though, and surely the passengers start to think 'aren't we a bit too low to be over the sea?'. :o

EHM-1358 Tim:
Tokyos airports like that, well it was on FS2002 not seen it on FS2004.

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
Really nice piece of land and technology :)

By the way the Japan is not the densest country in the world. That title goes to Hong Kong which however is not really a country right now. Coming second is Singapore (my homeland! :) :P) Over here at singapore there's quite a few of this kind of project going on all year round

I wouldn't mind landing anywhere, my life's in well trained hands, they know what they're doing ;D (as long as the ILS is properly adjusted)
