    SN76: Sunflower Gliderport, Hutchinson, Kansas. Julian rejected last submission due to airport boundry not matching satellite image. This is a very old military airport in which the aircraft movement area is now a gliderport in a small portion of the old airport. I have re-adjusted the boundry looking at the overhead to try and guess what Julian wants. There is a lot of non-moverment areas inside the newer, bigger boundry. I respectfully submit the rejected submission more correctly reflects the current boundry. I have been trying for weeks to get this private airort approved. If this submission is not right someone is going to have to help me figure out where the boundry should be. Sorry to sound cross. HeadwindH

    SN76: Sunflower Gliderport (PVT), Hutchinson, Kansas. Re-submit 3D build-up from WEDBot. Expanded the Airport Boundry and made sure it is easier to discern that all airport (airplane) related stuff is inside the boundry. Split the concrete Main Ramp, an aircraft movement area taxiway and the race track/closed East/West taxiway. The track is now asphalt pavement. Looks better now. HeadwindH

    SN76 Sunflower Glider Port. Re-submission to add ramp starts as per Gateway requirement. This is a private airport south of Hutchinson, Kansas used for a glider club. Aircraft here a rarely seen. A large active sport car racing facility and industrial area is located on the east side of the old WWII military training base. Old taxiway on west side is used for grain storage under tarps. Enjoy, HeadwindH

    SN76: Sunflower Gliderport (PVT), Hutchinson, Kansas. Update 2D WEDbot to 3D build, including hangars, buildings, glider trailers, etc. Only center 2100' feet of runway 17/35 is maintained, the rest is shown as blastpads on both ends. A sportcar racetrack is at the S/E corner and grain piles/good are stored on old 17/35 and far west taxiways. Cheers, HeadwindH
