I'm working on the US Coastal Club and am wondering has there been any thought of replacing the closed KPFN (Panama City FL) with its real world replacement KECP (Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport)?

KECP is on the current rw Delta schedule and it would make flight planning and chart use easier if there was an open airport in that area to use.

Thanks.

Interesting idea. I do like the old closed airport but we could add KECP to the list (but not change the number required) so that pilots could choose which one to fly to. How about that?

That sounds like a great option!
