Metropolitan Airport Development Brothers revealed the first trailer of its Osaka Itami Airport (RJOO), which will finally provide another reasonably large international airport (even if it serves mostly domestic flights) to the archipelago.

You can watch it below.

More news comes from Gate15Scenery, who announced Okegawa Airfield (RJT1), also known as Honda Airport, it’s a small one in Saitama Prefecture reasonably close to Tokyo.

Like Otone Airfield announced yesterday by MADB, it’s built into a river bed, more precisely that of the Arakawa river, creating a rather scenic location. It’s mostly used by light aircraft and by Honda Airways, a small airline that operates sightseeing, charter, and survey flights with Cessna 172 and Beechcraft 58 aircraft (and a few helicopters).

Looks like the area around Tokyo is gradually becoming a haven for those who like flying small general aviation birds.

Below you can check out three very early images.

Recently, we published our massive interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann, who provided a lot of new info about the present and future of the sim. A few days ago, we also got to hear more, including a trailer for World Update 4 which will feature France and Benelux.
