      XP12 updare. FAA shows displaced threshold 613 ft. but ESRI is about 245 ft. Used ESRI image. Removed exclusion zones. Modified airport boundary. I have removed streets as taxiways and used paths even though there are dozens of hangars on those streets. The only taxiway leads to "Airport Circle." Removed ramp starts from suburban area with hangars.

      Runway dimensions by FAA not consistent with ESRI or Google Earth. I used FAA figures. Displaced threshold is too long, runway too short. Extended runway with blastpad on 18 to fit ESRI image. No beacon, no fences.
