It appears I forgot to read the fine print.
I'm looking for some help with reference photos of the airport. I'm a 3d artist and develop custom art assets for flight simulation software (X-Plane). I plan on making a trip down there some time in the next 45-60 days.
Thanks!!

Same here. I need 10 posts. I live in Naples, FL.. spent a few years in Key West flying around there, instructing, and working as a diver. If you need some help with reference photos or what-not on the airport, go see Paulie at the Island City Flying Service. He's the FBO owner/manager.

Does Naples get any regional traffic?

I forgot about Air Key West. Rob has a partenavia that he uses for air charters and also aerial photography. He's a former Air Force F-16 fighter pilot who randomly flew missions for my platoon in Iraq a few years back (military is a small world). As of right now, Naples (KAPF) does not receive any regional traffic. Back in Nov 2011 they completed the runway extension for 5/23 hoping to increase international traffic and help with a few airlines that are interested in beginning flights there. I believe Atlantic Southeast Airlines used to fly CRJs into the airport shortly before the economy tanked.

Working on it. I'm in love with the southwest side of FL. I have no idea why people want to live on the east side- Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, etc.. it's so dirty compared to the west. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed being in Naples. We have a lot of friends there and I'm perfectly contempt with limiting my aviation possibilities to that area. Southwest, FL is definitely a place where you can get very comfortable flying jobs if you're willing to stick around long enough.
