1S2 Darrington Municipal is the debut USA airport by well-established Orbx development team Andreas Hegi and Heiko Glatthorn, who first collaborated on YHBA Hervey Bay Airport in 2009. These two gentlemen are both perfectionists, have an uncanny eye for detail and are quickly establishing a reputation for creating charming GA airports with real character. They are now working on 3W5 Concrete Muni which will be followed by KORS Orcas Island. Their mission is to create a "pearl necklace" of beautiful GA airfields throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Located in a beautiful valley, Darrington Municipal Airport has one of the most glorious settings in the entire flight simulator world! Serving Snohomish County and dwarfed by the shadow of the mighty Whitehorse Mountain, this airfield is set in the heart of picturesque Darrington village on the confluence of two rivers.

Rich in salmon fishing, wildlife and pristine natural surrounding, it's a perfect base for your bush flying adventures into the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area and North Cascades National Park. The Orbx duo of Andreas Hegi and Heiko Glatthorn (aka 'Mango') have lovingly crafted this airfield to include so many details, including uniquely modeled churches, houses, hangars, buildings and of course, the 'little' touches. You will also find a timber mill by the river, and for this airport we have added a full soundscape, so you will hear the river bubbling, the sawmill noises, and as you explore the township it will literally seem like a living, breathing place
