Flight Simulator Flights at NC14 Boone Inc Airport

Boone Inc Airport is a small, privately owned airfield in the North Carolina High Country a few miles from the town of Boone, sitting high in the Appalachians at an elevation of just over 3,100 feet. Its single hard-surfaced runway and mountain setting make it a niche destination for VFR pilots comfortable with high-elevation, terrain-influenced operations. There is no instrument approach, and published communications information for the field is limited.

Overview

Boone Inc Airport (NC14) is a small, privately owned airstrip serving the Boone area of Watauga County, North Carolina.

For simulator pilots it is an interesting short-runway, high-terrain destination in the Blue Ridge Mountains rather than a hub of any scale, with no instrument approach and correspondingly demanding VFR-only access.
