Saba? (FAA code SAB) 1300ft
or... Shoestring Aviation Airfield? (0P2)
In the early 1990's, Shoestring airport was forced by the state of Pennsylvania to go commercial ("public") to continue its ultralight training operations. The runway is the shortest legal length for the state's public rating criteria, which is 1000 ft. The airport remains active for STOL aircraft, mainly sport and ultralight pilots.

Why does the flight-plan in FSX not line you up with the runway and how can you line the route up with the runway?
It you use the "flight planner" you are following real world (or part of real world) procedures. Therefore when you file a plan it takes you to either a gate or ramp suuitable for your plane type at the departure airport, its up to uyou then to contact ATC for clearance. Ground will tell you what route to take to the active runway - more or less as in a real worldish way. However, if you select your craft in the FREE FLIGHT window, Go to box 2(Current location) select change, you will see the SELECT Airport window. Enter the ICAO code for the airport you wantto leave from i.e. EGLL (Heathrow) At the bottom of the window you will see an area named FILTERS. Bottom right side you will see "Choose runway/starting location". This is a drop down box that will have all the ramps, gates etc at the airport. or you can leave at the default "ACtive Runway". Click OK and youll be taken to the active runway at the airport of your choice. Now you can select the flight planner and go through the process in the normal way. However, when you come to the point where your are asked if you want to be moved to the selected airport you reply NO. This will leave you on the active for the departure airport and save you the time and effort going through the taxi.
