I have Msoft FS 2004 (Century of Flight). Can anyone tell me where Reeve airport is and why I can find no details of it on Google?

I think that what is known as Reeve (NZRV) in FS is actually Waiheke Airfield (NZKE).

Yep Rob has it correct, it's more commonly known as Waiheke airfield, although I have occasionally heard people refer to it as Reeve over the radio.

Thank you. Do you know where Msoft got Reeve from and why there is no mention of it on Google?

Just goes to show that Google doesn't know everything:)

I have seen it referred to as Reeve Waiheke -- I suspect that Reeve is a Waiheke family name, and maybe they own(ed) the land there.

I seem to recall that the airfield, which used to be operated by Waiheke Airservices, had their license taken off them a few years ago.

You could've found it on google by searching "Reeve Airport"

Google does know everything smile.gif

Even if you search as Waiheke airfield, you get lots of information in google...
