From the designer “Rafael Tango Tango” we can go to Brazil, the international airport “Recife Intl. Airport” (SBRF) aka Gilberto Freyre International Airport. it’s named after the Recife-born Anthropologist and Sociologist Gilberto de Mello Freyre. (Born 1900-1987). This scenery is available via simMarket and suitable for in MSFS
The main Airport serves the cities of Recife, Jaboatão dos Guararapes and other destinations in Pernambuco. Recife has about 9.2 million inhabitants, the 3rd largest city in the Brazilian northeast and 9th largest in the entire country. The airport is located at about 11 km from the city center, 2 km from the famous Boa Viagem beach, and 5 km from Piedade beach in Jaboatão. Recife is the capital of Pernambuco State, and one of the largest economies in the Brazilian Northeast, as well as one of the oldest and most famous cities in the entire country.
The airport not only consists of its passenger area, but also has general aviation operations and serves as a military air base for FAB (Brazilian Air Force) operations.

Wow. It just comes with the new, displaced threshold on both sides of the runway and the 2 new gates at the north of the terminal building.
Been there 25 times in the last 20 years, still remember the smaller old airport and have been there less than a year ago the last time, but those new gates did not exist at that time, as also Google Earth confirmes.
Curious if they now do have a Runway Center Light… But guess still not…
