02/10/2006 CO2880 Leg 1 Ft Walton Beach FL (KVPS) - Houston-Bush Intercontinental TX (KIAH)

I saw this route on the schedule finder, was just curious... KVPS in FS9 shows as being eglin AFB.. is Ft. Walton beach just another name?

The real Delta schedule we use it's sorted by city names, not airport names.
In the Okaloosa County you have 3 airports
KVPS = Okaloosa Regional Airport situated on Eglin AFB (you use this one)
KDTS = Ft Walton Beach airport, general aviation airport, no commercial aviation allowed.
KCEW = Bob Sikes Airport, general aviation airport, no commercial aviation allowed.

Regards

Okaloosa it's the airport name, Ft Walton Beach it's the city name, like I said the Delta schedule it's sorted by city names.
Eglin AFB comes up when you type KVPS in FS because the Okaloosa airport it's inside Eglin AFB
