This flight has been listed in Unvisited Airports for several weeks, but the airport is not in the pull down menu. When is this flight available?

The flight appears available only when you insert KLAS as the departing airport, then GSW will appear in the dropdown as the arrival. Of course, once you get that flight listed, your next challenge is to find the airport as it was closed in 1974, doesn't appear in FSX and likely not in FX9(not sure, don't have it).

Thanks Jim. The mystery solved! Flightsim didn't have the airport, and it's not in FS9 either, so I guess it will remain unvisited.

Does anyone with the FSX SDK installed and ADE feel like compiling a couple of runways, so Ronald can get his flight on?

I was able to find the old airport layout and info, and thought about trying my hand at making it for FS9, but the old site is pretty close to DFW. I guess it could be placed and uninstalled after the flight.

If you're using FS9, I can't help, but I made a semi-realistic rendition of the runways and general taxiway layout for FSX. Needs lot's of work and the ability to be compiled by someone else, but it should allow you to visit the airport at least.

Thanks Caleb, but I use FS9. I did find it at CalClassics.com.
