No, a movie set! It came up almost overnight.

HBO is filming a new mini-series partly on the airport grounds, and needed an auto gas station set, so they built one. Series is called Station 11, and expected to release this Fall. A post-apocalyptic story set twenty years after most of the world's population was wiped out. They needed a set that looked like an airport that hadn't been used for twenty years! :oops:

OK, not as bad as you might think. We have three parallelled runways, one of each pair has not been used in decades, they were for a time tasked as taxiways but are now entirely closed, somewhat broken up and overgrown. So, perfect for their needs.

Kind of cool. We actually get a lot of film crews through the airport. The inside of my mechanic's maintenance hangar is often featured as a set. He gets to keep many of the props and odd signage they put up. Also gets a free paint job on his office walls, from time to time.
