KPAE Paine Field MSFS
is a highly detailed scenery of Paine Field International Airport
in WA, USA. This product is compatible with Microsoft Flight
Simulator.
Seattle Paine Field International Airport (IATA: PAE, ICAO:
KPAE, FAA LID: PAE), also known as Paine Field and Snohomish County
Airport, is a commercial and general aviation airport serving the
Seattle metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Washington. It is
located in unincorporated Snohomish County, Washington, between the
cities of Mukilteo and Everett, about 25 miles (40 km) north of
Seattle.
Paine Field has two runways. 16R-34L, at 9,010 feet (2,750 m) in
length, is suited for the majority of aircraft and sees occasional
heavy traffic. Runway 16L-34R is 3,004 feet (916 m) in length, and
suitable only for small aircraft. The Paine (PAE) VOR/DME is
unusually mounted on top of a Boeing hangar. The airport has 456
general aviation hangars.
The airport was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration
and began commercial service in 1939. It was named for an American
airmail and Army Air Corps pilot, Topliff Olin Paine in 1941,
shortly before the Army Air Corps began the occupation of Paine
Field for military use. During his air mail career, Paine became
nationally recognized for his accomplishments while flying through
rugged terrain and snowstorms in the Rocky Mountains. From 1920 to
1922, Paine flew primarily out of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Salt Lake
City, Utah, for the Air Mail Service, becoming one of the top fliers
in the Western Division.
The airport briefly returned to civilian use in the late 1940s,
before conversion into an air force base during the Korean War. In
1966, the Boeing Company selected Paine Field for the site of its
Everett assembly plant as part of the Boeing 747 program. The Boeing
Everett Factory includes the largest building in the world by volume
at 13,385,378 m3 (472,370,319 cu ft) and covers 98.7 acres (39.9
ha). Boeing began offering factory tours with the first rollout of
the 747 in 1968. As of 2020 over 150,000 people come each year to
visit the factory, which employs over 30,000 people. Across the
airport to the west is The Boeing Store, a theater, and the Future
of Flight Aviation Center, which runs the factory tour. To
accommodate the Dreamlifter, a converted 747-400 which delivered 787
sections to the plant, a base was constructed on the western edge of
Paine Field's runway and opened in 2013.
By the 1970s, the airport had grown into a hub for light aviation
and manufacturing, lacking commercial service. The county government
sought to begin commercial service at Paine Field as early as the
1980s but was halted by opposition from neighboring cities. In March
2019, Paine Field resumed commercial service at a newly constructed
terminal. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of
Integrated Airport Systems for 2023–2027 categorized it as a non-hub
primary commercial service facility. The terminal was named the best
regional airport in the world by Monocle magazine and one of the
best small airports in the United States by USA Today.
Paine Field is also home to Aviation Technical Services (ATS), one
of the nation's largest aviation maintenance facilities. Paine Field
is home to four flight schools making it a popular destination for
flight training. There are also a number of flying clubs on the
field.
