Whistler/Green Lake Water Aerodrome Seaplane Base is a small seasonal water airport located about 3 kilometers from  Whistler, British Columbia, Canada used by floatplanes in warmer months when Green Lake is clear of ice (don’t try to take off or land during winter).

It is currently used by Harbour Air and Whistler Air (subsidiary of Harbour Air) aircraft.

The docks and buildings were created with the assistance of photos downloaded from the internet.

Will Jones              Creator of Green Lake airport for FSX.

                                I used the textures from Will’s airport for the buildings. His readme.1st document
                                contains the statement -             This scenery is freeware

                                I have attempted to contact Will for permission to use the textures but I never
                                received a reply and as it was released in 2004 he is now probably uncontactable.
                                The airport seems to have changed quite a bit since 2004 including a new ‘bridge’
                                from the land entrance to the docks.
