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 | The only port in the city, and subsequently only official way in and out of the city |
| 3 | A number of corps such as Ares and Renraku have their own private warehouses on the docks, but the majority of the space is dominated by public services (such as ferry terminals, pleasure boat mooring and shipping and receiving for countless unrated businesses) and emergency services (such as lifeboat and coastguard services) |
| 5 | The dockmaster is a corrupt individual who has been known to take bribes on occasion to turn a blind eye to certain comings and going. A number of syndicates and larger gangs will occasionally take advantage of this for drug smuggling and gun running, although KE do their best to keep a lid on this. |
