In 1949, two miles southeast of the town of Cascade, the charming Cascade Airport with its two paved runways was built in the Valley County on an impressive 75 acres (30 hectares). It is not only the spectacular view of the surrounding nature that attracts visitors to the airport, but above all the friendly atmosphere and low fuel prices. 24 tiedowns and 44 hangars also make Cascade Airport a favored destination for pilots from all over the region.

Since the 1950s, the airfield has served as air mail route to remote areas in Idaho, serving ranches, hunting camps, forestry stations and mines, and is still an important part of the local infrastructure today. In addition to daily leisure and charter flights, training and instruction flights for various pilot licenses also take place here. Up to 9000 annual flight movements prove that the region around Cascade is a genuine paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, cycling, fishing, skiing or indeed bush flying - there is something for everyone here!

However, Cascade Airport is more than just a gateway to outdoor adventures! The regional aviation scene in the form of flight training, air rescue and firefighting use the airport in equal measure, and local businesses and farms are also supported from here thanks to Cascade Airport transportation and supply services.

For our virtual pilots of Microsoft Flight Simulator, we have faithfully recreated the details of this very special airfield. It’s a real treat to see the spectacular landscape from above and experience the authentic atmosphere digitally! A great deal of effort and care has gone into the runways, as well as all the buildings, lights, and decorative items, to guarantee the most realistic experience possible. On the edge of the Idaho backcountry, this is one of the most beautiful airports in the USA!

Cascade Airport is the ideal gateway to start your adventures in Idaho’s backcountry. Get your plane ready, fill up the tanks and take off from the last paved runway you will see in the near future. U70 Cascade is just west of the best airfields that upstate Idaho has to offer, right on the southern tip of Lake Cascade. Many adventures with stories told to this day took their course here. Start your trip to the fantastic mountains of Idaho from here and explore epic places like famous Johnson Creek (3U2) or Big Creek (U60) and master exciting approaches to Thomas Creek (2U8) or Mahoney Creek (0U3).

In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Cascade Airport offers everything that makes a pilot’s heart skip a beat! Immerse yourself in the world of flying and discover Cascade Airport from a completely new perspective - a unique adventure awaits you!

It's alive!

A living scene is what gives you the feeling of being right in the middle of it and not just in front of the screen! A believable environment needs carefully placed assets to create perfect immersion. Our artists and their loving eye for detail have put a lot of effort not just into the airfield, but the whole surroundings!

A dark night's flight

Night flights are always special in their own way and light takes on a whole new meaning. The lights of distant cities, the canopy flashes of other airplanes or simply the inviting airfield lighting when you finally arrive after a long flight. Cascade Airport has therefore received specially adapted runway lights from us to accompany your take-off or landing safely!

Animated hangar doors, rich assets

Just an airfield can seem a bit static despite its beautiful location. Our animated hangar doors, which can be opened and closed via yoke clickspot, as well as animated people and a large number of assets that enliven the airfield, ensure some variety!
