Description

Thun Field is a small airport located along the coast in Puyallup. The Cutters are currently in control of it, using it as a place to ferry goods in and out of the city while charging the couple of businesses that operate out of the airfield a protection fee.

On the grounds are a flight school, the Wolf's Wings bar, and a small "terminal" where Cutters regularly hang out.

The runway, measuring 3,650 feet long by 60 feet wide, is capable of handling all general aviation aircraft, from light sport to small business jets.

Distinctive Features

History

Once in the past, this field was operated by the municipal government of Puyallup. As corporate influence and the metroplex grew, the airfield was allowed to slip into disrepair - but the area remained fairly clear. Far enough north of the lava fields, far enough out from anything else that there was no need for the space. A flat field in an isolated area that's poorly patrolled would always be a target for smugglers - the semi-intact runway was just icing on the cake.

1	A small airfield on the southern side of city, owned by some private firm and renting out space to a couple bars, a parajumping school, and a flight school.
3	A decently detailed search quickly picks up on members of the Cutters showing up at the field regularly. It's not a large leap of the imagination to realize that this is likely one of their fronts.
6	In smuggler circles, the exact prices for paying to use the strip are well known. Less well known is that there are a couple of expensive underground hangers, which can be rented from the Cutters for use hiding hot vehicles, whether those fly on wings or cruise on tires.

1	A small airfield on the southern side of city in Puyallup. The parajumping school and piloting school here are both known to be quite affordable.
3	The Cutters are known to patrol the area - both to keep it safe from other gangs hitting up the local businesses, and also to keep whatever operations they have going on here quiet.
5	Smugglers operate out of this airport regularly. Not all of them are owned by the Cutters, but almost all of them are on the payroll to tip off the Cutters to whatever's going through.
