Welcome to Auburn's Regional Airport! NOTE: My airports may not seem very realisitc to some so please don't bash mine. This is the way I do it! Nnuff said! Auburn's airport connects the citizens of Auburn to other major cities around Auburn. The airport does not connect people from Auburn to one of the major cities around the world. You must fly first to a major hub then connect to go anywhere else. Auburn is still too small for a major airport. Two closeups of the terminal during evening rush hour. The...

I promised myself that I would never post a CJ in these here parts because I did not like to see two CJ sections, you know. I am an old timer of ST joining in 2005 and having one CJ section. i did not like the new section at first but it seems a little easier to post updates here. I just don't want to seem like im bashing the old CJ secton...... Anyway seeing that you can get more views and posts, this area maybe a good place to start.....The Auburn Metropolitan Area!
