'''Greenfield International Airport''' (IATA: '''GIA''', ICAO: '''KGIA''', FAA LID: '''GIA'''), typically referred to as Greenfield Airport, is an international airport located on the northeast side of Greenfield, [[wikipedia:California|California]]. Operated by the Greenfield Department of Aviation, and covering over 4 square kilometers (~1000 acres) of land, GIA has non-stop flights to over 130 destinations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania as of 2023.

GIA began as an airfield for manufacturing C-54 military transports during World War II. As one of the first airports developed after the war, GIA's innovative design pioneered concepts such as concourses, direct highway access to the terminal, jet bridges, and underground refueling systems. GIA became well-known during the jet age, holding the distinction as one of the world's top fifty busiest airports from 1963 to 1998, reaching 27th place in 1994. In 2019 it was the world's ninety-sixth-busiest airport, serving 20 million passengers.

GIA also serves as the primary west coast hub for [[SkyLiners Airlines]], and is the company's second largest hub.

== History ==
=== Establishment ===
Starting in 1923,, the California National Guard used the present airport site (known then as the Lannex lowlands) as a training airfield. The site was then dedicated as the "Greenfield Municipal Airport" by then Mayor in 1926, but it had no proper terminal building until 1939, many airlines choosing to utilize Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego instead. Once Greenfield's terminal as completed, multiple airlines including Skyliners and Unified began service here.

As its terminal was completed, two runways, 3/21 and 09/27, were built to meet the demand for land-based planes making operations at Greenfield.

On August 17th, 1942 the airports weather station became the official point for Greenfield weather observations and records by the National Weather Service.

=== World War II use ===
During World War II the United States Navy used the airport as a training facility as well as a construction site for the manufacturing of the Douglas C-54 Skymaster military transports. A major defense contractor and contributor to World War II transport production, C54 Aircrafts, later known as Derksair, had their headquarters on the border of the Municipal field, and built many of their military aircraft theere. Derksair used the airport for test and delivery flights from 1935 to 1952 when their main facility burned to the ground.

Because of its location next to the Pacific ocean, it was believed that the airport could be a target for Japanese retaliation, especially after what happened in Pearl Harbor. Special care was taken to protect the construction facilities including building a fake neighborhood on the roof of the warehouse. This town known as Little Lannex was made of wood and fabric and hid the massive construction hangar from the sky. However, Greenfield never saw any combat during the war, and in a cruel turn of fate the supplies on the roof are believed to have caused the fire that burned down the facility and caused Derksair to go out of business at the end of the war. The vacant space left by the hangar was used in later years to develop jet age terminals.

=== Passenger service and growth ===
Greenfield Municipal became Greenfield International in 1946, when Nordair began direct flights here from Vancouver with their newly delivered Douglas DC-4s. The original terminal 1 did not have jet bridges and thus many felt a new terminal was needed to bring Greenfield into the jet age. A new terminal opened in 1955 which is currently the oldest existing terminal at the airport now called Terminal 3.

Terminal 1 and 3 modernization was completed in 1971, Terminal 2 opened in 1974 while the concourse opened in 1977. The $500 million expansion was one of the largest single building projects ever taken on by the city. In 2015 the airport finished construction on their brand new international terminal at the location of the old terminal 1. Many preservationists where angry at the destruction of the historic terminal building, but there was realistically no way the facility could have been outfitted for the modern needs of passengers and airlines. The new terminal 1 serves as the international terminal and holds the US customs. During this time a baggage system modernization occurred across the entire airport.

In the 1980s GIA hosted hubs for Skyliners and Vision Airlines. The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 allowed regional carrier Altis (later renamed Speedfly Airlines) to create a small hub at GIA. Skyliners became the dominant carrier at GIA in the 1980s and 1990s and shifted most of its operations from LAX to GIA in 2002. As of 2015, GIA was Skyliners second largest hub overall.

In 1997 the California Department of Transportation and several U.S. federal government agencies selected a route to connect the three terminals to the nearby expressway. Nearby stakeholders especially local hotel owners objected to the proposed routing, saying it would take all the traffic off the local roads and loose business. Most notably two large hotels, the Botanist, and the Wheaton had to be demolished for the highway connection.

In 2022 the new multimodal facility was completed. This facility includes thousands of parking spaces to serve 10+ rental car services in an effort to centralize all of the services. The airport people mover was also extended to the facility, which sat next to the Lannex regional rail station, meaning passengers could now travel directly from the regional rail station to the airport.

=== Future ===
Like many airports across the nation, the ageing terminal 2/3 are causing delays. Current plans involve the continued modernization of the baggage systems which started in 2012. A new terminal end is being built at the end of terminal 3, expanding the amount of gates to the terminal by 4. Minor updates to the facility will occur along side the construction.

The comparatively short runways has caused concerns for aviation safety; however, runway extension proposals have been rejected due to concerns regarding noise pollution in Lannex and aquatic conservation in the bay.

== Build History ==

=== [[Update 0.5.3|0.5.3]] ===
Initial admin planning began at the end of 0.5.3.

=== [[Update 0.5.4|0.5.4]] ===
The development of the Greenfield International Airport officially started in mid 2019, with the release of the plans for Los Llanos and Rockwell to the admin team by THEJESTR11. The original airport plan was nothing more then three parallel runways and a bunch of open grass space. Admin 56515 took the lead on developing a more detailed plan for the airport and eventually ended on a 2 parallel runway configuration with a crossing angled runway. from the very beginning the goal of the structure was to create an airport that didn't conform to Minecraft's grid. This meant that terminals would be at realistic angles from each other. Much of the early planning and laying out work was done by 56515. The road systems as well as the runway work was primarily done by Admins Staples and NJDaeger. Of the three terminals, it was decided that 56515 would tackle terminal 1, Staples terminal 2, and past Admin JacobKazias terminal 3. As the project developed many others assisted in the build process, especially with the interiors of terminals and the development of the cargo center. Eventually Architect Dasky joined the build team and quickly made some important changes to the airport to make it more realistic and in line with real life airports because of his real life experience. Together, with the help of the rest of the build team, Greenfield International Airport has become one of the most impressive parts of the project.

=== Terminals ===
Greenfield International Airport has three public terminals named Terminal 1, 2 and 3. Terminal 2 and 3 hold the majority of domestic flights and are older, being built in the 1970s and 1980s. Terminal 1 was rebuilt in 2015, replacing the majority of the terminal, keeping one terminal leg of the original 1970s building. All international flights and some domestic flights depart from Terminal 1.

Passengers can walk between Terminals 1,2 and 3 through bridges that connect them without needing to exit the secure area and be re-screened. All walkways are of terminal level.

Terminal 1 was rebuilt in 2015, keeping one leg of the original 1970s terminal building. Terminal 1 has 23 gates, gates 40-51, 53-61, and 62A-C. It serves as an operating base for all international departures. It has check-in facilities for Adelair, Air Chinese, Air Liberté, Air Pocheon, Avcilar, Barajas, Changi Air, Germanian, Golden Pacific, Jumeirah, Hawaii Air, Hong Kong Airways, [[North American Airways]], and Scandinavian United Shuttle.

Terminal 2 was built in 1974 (the concourse was built in 1977). The main building has 7 gates, and the concourse has room for 20. It is the base for all domestic departures, and has check-in facilities for [[Unified Airlines]], [[Vision Airlines]], [[SkyLiners Airlines]], and Houston Air.

Terminal 3 is the oldest of all the terminals. It has 5 gates (excluding the bus gate), and is the operating base for [[Speedfly Airlines]] and SunCoast Airlines.

=== Runways ===
Greenfield International has 3 runways, 09R/27L, 09L/27R, and 03/21, all made from concrete. 09R/27L is the runway used for roughly 85% of all operations as it is the longest of the runways. 09L/27R is mainly used for smaller narrowbodies and private aircraft. 03/21 is very rarely used for any commercial operations due to its length, instead it acts as a runway for general aviation.

As the two 09/27 runways have a separation of just under 700 feet, under the FAA required separation for simultaneous parallel approaches (750 feet), all operations when utilizing both runways have to be staged for safety reasons.

=== Hotel ===
The airport hotel, named GoFly, was opened in 2013. Construction originally started in 2006, but the economic slowdown has halted its construction due to a large cost overrun. It has 11 floors, and is within a short walking distance to the airport terminals.

=== Ground transportation ===
Greenfield International Airport has extensive ground transportation options including a direct connection to the city subway system, the Rockwell/Lannex LRT, the Lannex rail station, direct highway connection, and a bus terminal.

GIA is directly connected through the intersection between [[I-10]] and [[I-205]], which is then roughly a 10 minute drive to city center, assuming no traffic.

=== Cargo facilities ===
[[File:Baltic Exports GIA-1.png|thumb|A parked Baltic Exports Boeing 747-400F.]]
Greenfield International has 3 cargo facilities.

The Southern facility is located to the south of 9R/27L, which has 3 stands for large aircraft like the Boeing 747-8F or the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, 3 stands for medium aircraft like the MD-11F, and one for small aircraft like a 737-800BCF. It is directly accessible from the roads in Lannex.

The Northern facility is located to the north of 9L/27R and is next to the airplane hangars, which has 6 stands for medium aircraft like the aforementioned MD-11F. It is the base for [[OOPS Airlines]], the second largest international freight carrier<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>.

There is also a smaller cargo facility to the right of the threshold of Runway 03, which can accomodate 1 large cargo plane or 2 small cargo planes. Its construction was partially funded by the cargo airline [[Baltic Exports]], hence its name "Baltic Exports Facility".

=== Other facilities ===
There is a business/private aviation facility which is located within the airport and has its own terminal and facilities separate from the public terminal. It provides services for executive aircraft and passengers, including a passenger lounge, private rooms and showers, business center facilities, ground handling, baggage handling, fuelling, security, customs and flight planning. Designated spaces and hangars are also provided for private aircraft.

Directly accessible from northern [[Whitestone]] is a general aviation facility, which is located to the right of runway 21. It has its own hangar and is operated by an undisclosed company.

==== Preserved Midwestern DC-10 ====
[[File:Midwestern DC-10-30 at GIA-1.png|thumb|The preserved Midwestern DC-10-30.]]
To the southeast of the runway threshold of 27L and directly visible from eastbound [[I-205]] is a preserved Douglas DC-10-30 (N218MW).

It is an old Midwestern Airlines DC-10-30 that was in service since 1971 and used to fly to GIA in the early 2000s but the airline ceased operations and this airframe has remained at GIA ever since. It is now preserved by the 0C-10 Club and not accessible to the public. The 0C-10 club holds events for club members and contributors at the site once a year or so.

The reason to why it remained at GIA is that Midwestern Airlines planes were deemed unairworthy by the FAA due to extremely bad maintenance and procedures even after several warnings. The FAA then revoked the Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) for Midwestern on the 16th May 2005 until maintenance checks had been carried out on its aircraft. The maintenance for this particular airframe, parked at GIA at that time, was never carried out entirely as Midwestern Airlines declared bankruptcy and ceased operations shortly after. The airframe was never sold or shipped to the Mojave Air & Space Port due to the bad maintenance and no pilots wanted to fly it.

=== Ground handling companies ===
[[File:2022-02-20 17.56.59.png|thumb|A Vision Boeing 777-300ER en-route to New York getting loaded with baggage through Greenfield Aviation Services.]]
There are four ground handling companies operating at Greenfield International Airport providing passenger, baggage, cargo and ramp services to airlines. They are:

* [[Greenfield Aviation Services]]
* [[Globe Handling]]
* [[Sun Ground Services]] (SGS)
* [[Novia Ground Solutions]]

American cargo handling company US Across also operates ramp services and a cargo facility at the airport.

Each airline which serves GIA also has the choice to choose the grand handling company they prefer to utilize for the services, For example, [[North American Airways]] chose Globe Handling to serve them, and [[SkyLiners Airlines|SkyLiners]] chose Greenfield Aviation Services.

== Accidents and incidents ==

* Unknown date, 1973: a Lockheed Electra operated by the Marine Corps crashed into the bay shortly after takeoff. The pitch control system of one of its propellers is said to have failed. All 8 personnel inside the aircraft perished.
* June 6, 1984: A Vision Boeing 737-200 suffered a double bird strike during takeoff. The crew was able to use the APU to restart one of its engines shortly after it failed, and it returned for a safe emergency landing about 30 minutes after takeoff. Nobody was injured.
* January 17, 1994, During the [[Earthquake]] of 1994, a Golden Pacific Boeing 747-200 went off a taxiway and fell into a ditch. The aircraft was not removed until 3 weeks after the earthquake.
* March 14, 1996: A [[Golden Pacific]] 777-200ER [[Golden Pacific Flight 008|overran the runway]] during landing due to pilot error in inclement weather and crashed into [[I-205]]. All 192 people in the aircraft died, making for the deadliest aviation accident in all of California.
* September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757. Due to poor visibility, the 757 did not initiate a go around and landed as usual, causing its wake turbulence to affect the 737. The 737 suffered a wingstrike on an attempted landing and had to go around then make a successful second landing. One minor injury was reported. This accident made it so that parallel landings may not be carried out at night, as directed by ATC. Later investigations revealed that external radio signal jamming was affecting the ILS' capability to communicate with the aircraft, which caused this incident.
* November 29, 2022: A [[Globe Handling]] vehicle went head-on with a Speedfly Airlines Bombardier Dash 8-400 (N225SL) during its pushback. The driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and the back of the plane was severely damaged, causing bits of cargo to fall out. The plane underwent repairs at the airport and returned to service 3 months later. Investigations revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and failed to stop the vehicle in time. This prompted more frequent drugs and alcohol testing amongst all of GIA staff. The driver's license was since revoked for 12 months.

Glenview

DerpyTheNon:

Glenview is a designated community north of [[Ashfield]] and [[Downtown|Downtown Greenfield]].

== History ==
In the early 1910s, a plan for the northern section of Ashfield was proposed in the Ashfield city hall, the plan was to have a lower density area for the richer people of the rapidly growing Ashfield and more apartments for the workers in the fishing port of Del Rey. Therefore, in 1912, construction started on the roads, the Prieta Highway was turned into a larger 4 lane road and 2 new avenues were added to promote northern growth. As the area of Glenview grew through the 1910s and 20s, multiple apartment buildings were built along the major roads as Ashfield couldn't support the large amounts of immigrants moving into the city. The Santa Cabeza church was built in the east and became a major landmark in the area.

The area grew in population through the 1930-40s and 50s but came to a halt in the 1960s when interstate (NUMBER) was built right in between Del Rey and Glenview, and later Us-route (something) was put in between Ashfield East and Glenview. This halted the growth of Glenview and many of the richer white residents moved out into the suburbs. The 1960s saw a housing crisis in Greenfield and California, since Ashfield wouldn't be able to handle the growth on its own a lot of the southern area of glenview was demolished and 2 story dingbats returned, they also raised the height limits a long the major roads with hopes it would see more housing development. Because of the new housing developments Glenview quickly grew with poor working class citizens. With them came higher crime rates and homelessness. The Santa Cabeza church closed in 1969 and soon followed a lot of the stores in the area.

In the early 1970s the first subway line in Greenfield ran throughout the highway and a stop serviced both Del Rey and Glenview.

In 1978 the Glenview Galleria opened and was a vital shopping center in the area, as it wouldn't have seen the amount of branded stores otherwise.

In the 1980s the zoning along the Ashfield Avenue was changed and a lot of larger offices were built a long the avenue, as long as the replacement of older stores with large parking lots.

in 1994 the area was [[Earthquake|hit with a 7.5 earthquake]], flattening buildings and parts of the infrastructure in the area completely; most of these would stay collapsed or became abandoned buildings, while they only fixed the necessary parts of the infrastructure.

The early 2000s saw a change in demographic as rich people started moving back into the city, they bought up old abandoned houses and fixed them up, with them came newer, expensive shops and higher rents. With the new housing crisis Greenfield started to see in the 2010s large new apartment buildings started to be built along the major avenue's and some of the older apartments or houses were replaced by newer modern buildings. With the growth of people and interest in the area they reopened the church as the brand new Santa Cabeza library. Then, two new bike lanes were built in 2015 to support the growing demand for bikers.

The growth of the housing crisis hasn't stopped and recently city planners decided to change the zoning codes and up the density in the upper area and along the major avenues, this means that apartment buildings up to 12 stories are allowed to be built along the avenues and buildings up to 4 stories tall are allowed to be built everywhere else. The first apartment tower has already been built, with many proposed or under construction. However residents weren't that happy about these changes. the Glenview<3Galleria movement has recently started to get traction to stop the redevelopment of the galleria, which has been in decline since two of its anchors closed in the past few years to move to the newer malls in Del Rey and Downtown. This movement along with many others wont stop the development though. The city is focused on growing its density and lowering the prices of rents and housing around its downtown.

SkyLiners is a major US-based airline. It is the second largest airline behind [[Vision Airlines]] in the USA. Skyliners, together with its regional partners and affiliates, operates an extensive international and domestic network.

== History ==
[[File:SkyLiners hangar GIA-1.png|thumb|SkyLiners hangar at GIA, viewed from a departing Boeing 767.]]
SkyLiners was founded in 1908 when 19 year old Jayne Nibblesby, a desperate engineer and entrepreneur, first heard about the historic first flight of the Wrogne Brothers. Upon hearing the news, Jayne came up with the idea for a type of paid transport using flying machines. This idea would eventually become commercial airlines. Nibblesby founded the commercial airline Bad Air in 1920 out of Detroit with a fleet of hastily kitbashed airplanes and serviced flights to wherever the customer wished. The flights were far from safe, sporting no seatbelts or seats and more often than not ran out of fuel before clearing the homemade runway.

At the beginning of World War 2, the U.S. Army took an interest in the now much larger Bad Air commercial airline's custom airplanes after noticing their surprisingly large range and durability. Coincidentally, the Japanese military took a similar interest in the custom airplanes. Nibblesby secretly sold the patent to both militaries without either side noticing, and made 240 million U.S. dollars off of it.

On December 7th 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy performed a devastating strike on Hawaii's Pearl Harbor using Nibblesby's aircraft, sparking a huge controversy for the company and resulting in the U.S. military halting progress on the 24 under construction Bad Air brand airports around the United States. Construction would resume, however, after no evidence of the patent being sold to Japan was found.

During the 1950s, competition with other airlines started to heighten as Bad Air expanded to other countries and the tourism industry took full form. Unwanted tensions started piling on Nibblesby and Bad Air due to the competition and ultimately concluded with Jayne Nibblesby's gruesome assassination on November 7th 1964. The body was found mutilated beyond recognition cycling through the baggage system of Tokyo [[wikipedia:Haneda Airport|Haneda Airport]] Terminal 3. Many theories as to who committed the murder have been created by the public, although no killer was ever found.

After the CEO's death, the airline was rebranded to SkyLiners under the new management of Nibblesby's assistant, Kirā Watashi. Watashi would go on to being the company's most profitable CEO, generating over 17 billion dollars per year during the 1970s and 1980s (inflation adjusted).

By the late 1980s, SkyLiners was the largest airline in the United States, Leading the Face Race by almost half with Vision Airlines.

On September 11th, 2001, a devastating terrorist attack on the Unites States took place, tightening SkyLiners security and protection measures aboard planes and in terminals. SkyLiners also updated their logo with the World Trade Center twin towers out of respect for the victims.

On May 14th 2021, now called the [[Heaven's Stairway Incident]], over 60 planes from many different airlines mysteriously vanished without a trace. SkyLiners had only one plane disappear however, flight 640 from Greenfield en-route to Halifax mysteriously disappeared with all hands while flying approximately over Columbus, Ohio. All occupants perished without a trace, and no trace of flight 640 or any other missing flights from that day have surfaced.

After the incident, [[Vision Airlines]] took the lead for largest airline in the USA, placing SkyLiners behind it in second place.

'''Greenfield International Airport''' (IATA: '''GIA''', ICAO: '''KGIA''', FAA LID: '''GIA'''), typically referred to as Greenfield Airport, is an international airport located on the northeast side of Greenfield, [[wikipedia:California|California]]. Operated by the Greenfield Department of Aviation, and covering over 4 kilometers of land, GIA has non-stop flights to over 130 destinations in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania as of 2022.

GIA began as an airfield for manufacturing C-54 military transports during World War II. As one of the first airports developed after the war, GIA's innovative design pioneered concepts such as concourses, direct highway access to the terminal, jet bridges, and underground refueling systems. GIA became famous during the jet age, holding the distinction as one of the world's top fifty busiest airports from 1963 to 1998, reaching 27th place in 1994. In 2019 it was the world's ninety-sixth-busiest airport, serving 20 million passengers.

GIA also serves as the primary western hub for [[SkyLiners Airlines]], and is the companies second largest hub.

== History ==
=== Establishment ===
Starting in 1923,, the California National Guard used the present airport site (known then as the Lannex lowlands) as a training airfield. The site was then dedicated as the "Greenfield Municipal Airport" by then Mayor in 1926, but it had no proper terminal building until 1939, many airlines choosing to utilize Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego instead. Once Greenfield's terminal as completed, multiple airlines including Skyliners and Unified began service here.

As its terminal was completed, two runways, 3/21 and 09/27, were built to meet the demand for land-based planes making operations at Greenfield.

On August 17th, 1942 the airports weather station became the official point for Greenfield weather observations and records by the National Weather Service.

=== World War II use ===
During World War II the United States Navy used the airport as a training facility as well as a construction site for the manufacturing of the Douglas C-54 Skymaster military transports. A major defense contractor and contributor to World War II transport production, C54 Aircrafts, later known as Derksair, had their headquarters on the border of the Municipal field, and built many of their military aircraft theere. Derksair used the airport for test and delivery flights from 1935 to 1952 when their main facility burned to the ground.

Because of its location next to the Pacific ocean, it was believed that the airport could be a target for Japanese retaliation especially after Pearl Harbor. Special care was taken to protect the construction facilities including building a fake neighborhood on the roof of the warehouse. This town known as Little Lannex was made of wood and fabric and hid the massive construction hangar from the sky. However Greenfield never saw any combat during the war, and in a cruel turn of fate the supplies on the roof are believed to have caused the fire that burned down the facility and caused Derksair to go out of business at the end of the war. The vacant space left by the hangar was used in later years to develop jet age terminals.

=== Passenger service and growth ===
Greenfield Municipal became Greenfield International in 1946, when Nordair began direct flights here from Vancouver with their newly delivered Douglas DC-4s. The original terminal 1 did not have jet bridges and thus many felt a new terminal was needed to bring Greenfield into the jet age. A new terminal opened in 1955 which is currently the oldest existing terminal at the airport now called Terminal 3.

Terminal 1 and 3 modernization was completed in 1971, Terminal 2 opened in 1974 while the concourse opened in 1977. The $500 million expansion was one of the largest single building projects ever taken on by the city. In 2015 the airport finished construction on their brand new international terminal at the location of the old terminal 1. Many preservationists where angry at the destruction of the historic terminal building, but there was realistically no way the facility could have been outfitted for the modern needs of passengers and airlines. The new terminal 1 serves as the international terminal and holds the US customs. During this time a baggage system modernization occurred across the entire airport.

In the 1980s GIA hosted hubs for Skyliners and Vision Airlines. The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 allowed regional carrier Altis (later renamed Speedfly Airlines) to create a small hub at GIA. Skyliners became the dominant carrier at GIA in the 1980s and 1990s and shifted most of its operations from LAX to GIA in 2002. As of 2015, GIA was Skyliners second largest hub overall.

In 1997 the California Department of Transportation and several U.S. federal government agencies selected a route to connect the three terminals to the nearby expressway. Nearby stakeholders especially local hotel owners objected to the proposed routing, saying it would take all the traffic off the local roads and loose business. Most notably two large hotels, the Botanist, and the Wheaton had to be demolished for the highway connection.

In 2022 the new multimodal facility was completed. This facility includes thousands of parking spaces to serve 10+ rental car services in an effort to centralize all of the services. The airport people mover was also extended to the facility, which sat next to the Lannex regional rail station, meaning passengers could now travel directly from the regional rail station to the airport.

=== Future ===
Like many airports across the nation, the ageing terminal 2/3 are causing delays. Current plans involve the continued modernization of the baggage systems which started in 2012. A new terminal end is being built at the end of terminal 3, expanding the amount of gates to the terminal by 4. Minor updates to the facility will occur along side the construction.

However, with airlines replacing traditional hub-and-spoke models with point-to-point models, large aircraft such as the 787 Dreamliner or the A350 will need to be able to land here. Unfortunately, runway extensions proposals have been rejected due to concerns regarding noise pollution in Lannex and aquatic conservation in the bay.

== Build History ==

=== [[Update 0.5.3|0.5.3]] ===
Initial admin planning began at the end of 0.5.3.

=== [[Update 0.5.4|0.5.4]] ===
The development of the Greenfield International Airport officially started in mid 2019, with the release of the plans for Los Llanos and Rockwell to the admin team by THEJESTR11. The original airport plan was nothing more then three parallel runways and a bunch of open grass space. Admin 56515 took the lead on developing a more detailed plan for the airport and eventually ended on a 2 parallel runway configuration with a crossing angled runway. from the very beginning the goal of the structure was to create an airport that didn't conform to Minecraft's grid. This meant that terminals would be at realistic angles from each other. Much of the early planning and laying out work was done by 56515. The road systems as well as the runway work was primarily done by Admins Staples and NJDaeger. Of the three terminals, it was decided that 56515 would tackle terminal 1, Staples terminal 2, and past Admin JacobKazias terminal 3. As the project developed many others assisted in the build process, especially with the interiors of terminals and the development of the cargo center. Eventually Architect Dasky joined the build team and quickly made some important changes to the airport to make it more realistic and in line with real life airports because of his real life experience. Together, with the help of the rest of the build team, Greenfield International Airport has become one of the most impressive parts of the project.

=== Terminals ===
Greenfield International Airport has three public terminals named Terminal 1, 2 and 3. Terminal 2 and 3 hold the majority of domestic flights and are older, being built in the 1970s and 1980s. Terminal 1 was rebuilt in 2015, replacing the majority of the terminal, keeping one terminal leg of the original 1970s building. All international flights and some domestic flights depart from Terminal 1.

Passengers can walk between Terminals 1,2 and 3 through bridges that connect them without needing to exit the secure area and be re-screened. All walkways are of terminal level.

Terminal 1 was rebuilt in 2015, keeping one leg of the original 1970s terminal building. Terminal 1 has 23 gates, gates 40-51, 53-61, and 62A-C. It serves as an operating base for all international departures. It has check-in facilities for Adelair, Air Chinese, Air Liberté, Air Pocheon, Avcilar, Barajas, Changi Air, Germanian, Golden Pacific, Jumeirah, Hawaii Air, Hong Kong Airways, [[North American Airways]], and Scandinavian United Shuttle.

Terminal 2 was built in 1974 (the concourse was built in 1977). The main building has 7 gates, and the concourse has room for 20. It is the base for all domestic departures, and has check-in facilities for [[Unified Airlines]], [[Vision Airlines]], [[SkyLiners Airlines]], and Houston Air.

Terminal 3 is the oldest of all the terminals. It has 5 gates (excluding the bus gate), and is the operating base for [[Speedfly Airlines]] and SunCoast Airlines.

=== Runways ===
Greenfield International has 3 runways, 09R/27L, 09L/27R, and 03/21, all made from concrete. The 27L/R parallel runways have a separation of only 208 meters (682 feet), too little for a conventional SOIA approach to be carried out; a SOIA approach requires runways to be at least 229 meters (750 feet) apart. Therefore, at peak hours for aircraft movements where parallel takeoffs/landings are used, it is temporarily a Category C airport, meaning that pilots have to carry out special training in a simulator to land when parallel landings are in effect.

There have been cases of runway overruns due to unfavourable conditions resulting from the short runways (longest one, 09R/27L, is only just under 2,000m long), most notably [[Golden Pacific Flight 008]] which overran the runway during a strong crosswind and crashed through the eastern airport fences and onto [[I-205]]. This prompted a complete closure of said section for 2 weeks and resulted in heavy traffic in the [[Lannex]] roads due to diversion.

==== Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach ====
The airport runways that head west were granted SOIA compliant in 2016 after a slightly intense vote in the FAA administration, now being one of the 3 airports in the US actively conducting SOIA approaches (San Francisco and Cleveland International).

However, such approaches may not be used after sunset (times are directed by ATC) after the Vision Airlines Flight 3015 incident. In 2021, due to concerns regarding wake turbulence from such little runway separation, parallel landings (with SOIA approaches) and takeoffs may not be carried out when resultant crosswinds are over 10 knots.

=== Hotel ===
The airport hotel, named GoFly, was opened in 2013. Construction originally started in 2006, but the economic slowdown has halted its construction due to a large cost overrun. It has 11 floors, and is within a short walking distance to the airport terminals.

=== Ground transportation ===
Greenfield International Airport has extensive ground transportation options including a direct connection to the city subway system, the Rockwell/Lannex LRT, the Lannex rail station, direct highway connection, and a bus terminal.

GIA is directly connected through the intersection between [[I-10]] and [[I-205]], which is then roughly a 10 minute drive to city center, assuming no traffic.

=== Cargo facilities ===
[[File:Baltic Exports GIA-1.png|thumb|A parked Baltic Exports Boeing 747-400F.]]
Greenfield International has 3 cargo facilities.

The Southern facility is located to the south of 9R/27L, which has 3 stands for large aircraft like the Boeing 747-8F or the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, 3 stands for medium aircraft like the MD-11F, and one for small aircraft like a 737-800BCF. It is directly accessible from the roads in Lannex.

The Northern facility is located to the north of 9L/27R and is next to the airplane hangars, which has 6 stands for medium aircraft like the aforementioned MD-11F. It is the base for [[OOPS Airlines]], the second largest international freight carrier<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>.

There is also a smaller cargo facility to the right of the threshold of Runway 03, which can accomodate 1 large cargo plane or 2 small cargo planes. Its construction was partially funded by the cargo airline [[Baltic Exports]], hence its name "Baltic Exports Facility".

=== Other facilities ===
There is a business/private aviation facility which is located within the airport and has its own terminal and facilities separate from the public terminal. It provides services for executive aircraft and passengers, including a passenger lounge, private rooms and showers, business center facilities, ground handling, baggage handling, fuelling, security, customs and flight planning. Designated spaces and hangars are also provided for private aircraft.

Directly accessible from northern [[Whitestone]] is a general aviation facility, which is located to the right of runway 21. It has its own hangar and is operated by an undisclosed company<sup>[''name?'']</sup>.

==== Preserved Midwestern DC-10 ====
[[File:Midwestern DC-10-30 at GIA-1.png|thumb|The preserved Midwestern DC-10-30.]]
To the southeast of the runway threshold and directly visible from eastbound [[I-205]] is a preserved Douglas DC-10-30 (N218MW).

It is an old Midwestern Airlines DC-10-30 that was in service since 1971 and used to fly to GIA in the early 2000s but the airline ceased operations and this airframe has remained at GIA ever since. It is now preserved by the 0C-10 Club and not accessible to the public. The 0C-10 club holds events for club members and contributors at the site once a year or so.

The reason to why it remained at GIA is that Midwestern Airlines planes were deemed unairworthy by the FAA due to extremely bad maintenance and procedures even after several warnings. The FAA then issued a ban on Midwestern flights on the 16th May 2005 until maintenance checks had been carried out. The maintenance for this particular airframe was never carried out entirely as Midwestern Airlines shortly after declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. The airframe was never sold or shipped to the Mojave Air & Space Port due to the bad maintenance and no pilots wanted to fly it.

== Accidents and incidents ==

* Unknown date, 1973: a Lockheed Electra operated by the Marine Corps crashed into the bay shortly after takeoff. The pitch control system of one of its propellers is said to have failed. All 8 personnel inside the aircraft perished.
* June 6, 1984: A Vision Boeing 737-200 suffered a double bird strike during takeoff. The crew was able to use the APU to restart one of its engines shortly after it failed, and it returned for a safe emergency landing about 30 minutes after takeoff. Nobody was injured.
* January 17, 1994, During the [[Earthquake]] of 1994, a Golden Pacific Boeing 747-200 went off a taxiway and fell into a ditch. The aircraft was not removed until 3 weeks after the earthquake.
* March 14, 1996: A [[Golden Pacific]] 777-200ER [[Golden Pacific Flight 008|overran the runway]] during landing due to pilot error in inclement weather and crashed into [[I-205]]. All 192 people in the aircraft died, making for the deadliest aviation accident in all of California.
* September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757. Due to poor visibility, the 757 did not initiate a go around and landed as usual, causing its wake turbulence to affect the 737. The 737 suffered a wingstrike on an attempted landing and had to go around then make a successful second landing. One minor injury was reported. This accident made it so that parallel landings may not be carried out at night, as directed by ATC. Later investigations revealed that external radio signal jamming was affecting the ILS' capability to communicate with the aircraft, which caused this incident.
* November 29, 2022: A [[Globe Handling]] vehicle went head-on with a Speedfly Airlines Bombardier Dash 8-400 (N225SL) during its pushback. The driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and the back of the plane was severely damaged, causing bits of cargo to fall out. The plane underwent repairs at the airport and returned to service 3 months later. Initial investigations revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and did not stop the vehicle in time. This prompted more frequent drugs and alcohol testing amongst all of GIA staff. The driver's license was since revoked for 12 months.

Ashfield East

DerpyTheNon: Fixing grammar and adding paragraphs to make it easier to read

'''Ashfield East''' is a designated community area on the north side of Greenfield, California. It is located east of [[Ashfield Central|Ashfield]] and across the bay from [[Downtown|Downtown Greenfield]].

== History ==
The city of Ashfield was first founded in 1792 by a few families who moved in from Mexico. It was originally called Los Hermanos, after a major ranch in the area. The city grew slowly during during the Mexican rule and many settlers moved in due to the fertile land in both Ashfield and the nearby cities of Greenfield and Hunterspoint.

However, Ashfield, Greenfield and Hunterspoint weren't key targets during the Mexican-American war, the US army did make a small fort on the east of the hunters river called Fort Franklin. During the early 1800s the city didnt see much growth, especially with the recent trouble between Greenfield and Hunterspoint. The town never really saw any growth after that either, it was just a small town in the shadow of the bigger city of Greenfield.

Fortunately, after the 1910s, a new port was built near Greenfield. As a result, not only did Ashfield see massive growth in population, but also it created new factories and jobs. Small ports were built on the waterfront and Ashfield became a full-blown city. Large growth happened into the areas above of Ashfield that we now know as Northpark, Springfield and Glenview. A new train station was built in 1921, connecting Ashfield with large cities in the surrounding area, with it came also the first tower of Ashfield.

In 1942 the city of Ashfield was incoorpirated to the city of Greenfield, and was now split in three areas: Ashfield West, the industrial hub with large factories and warehouses, Ashfield Central, with many offices and retail spaces, and Ashfield East, a residential district.

Ashfield East saw large changes during the 40s-60s. The old bridge was destroyed and replaced with a tall highway bridge. Much of the eastern coast was demolished for the new interstate, causing public outrage. The older ports were destroyed and it stayed as barren land under the highway until the early 2000s when the area was remade into a brand new high end marina. The northern section was also torn apart for another interstate, fortunately, the train station was kept. A lot of the older apartments became abandoned throughout the 50s.

A turnaround point happened in the 60s, when the city council got a large sum of money, that they decided to spend on Ashfield. Big brand new office buildings were built on the western side, with the tallest being the Ashfield Plaza Tower. Big new apartment buildings were built on the coast and old warehouses and ports were torn down to make way for new apartments and condos, however the money ran out during the 1970 oil crisis. Many projects were set abandoned and Ashfieldeast stayed as a torn open mess for decades.

The 2000s were another turn-around point. Many of the projects which had been abandoned for decades were scrapped and brand new condos and apartments were built. New Condo buildings were built on older ports and the brand new marina was made. This growth is still going on today, with many new apartments and condos still being built. Ashfield is now a large part of Greenfield with many residents and businesses.

'''Golden Pacific Flight 008''' (GP8/GPC8) was a scheduled passenger flight from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport to [[Greenfield International Airport]]. On March 14th 1996 the [[Golden Pacific]] Boeing 777-200ER operating this flight overran the runway while landing due to a loss of control resulting from strong crosswinds. There were 192 casualties on the plane and a further 12 on the ground, making for the deadliest accident in GIA since a Lockheed Electra operated by the Marine Corps crashed into the bay in 1973, and the deadliest in all of California.

The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and was subsequently written off.

== Aircraft ==

The aircraft involved was a Boeing 777-200ER powered by 2 General Electric GE90-95B engines, registration N27873. It rolled out of Boeing's production line in Everett on April 6, 1996, first flew the day after, and was delivered brand new to Golden Pacific on July 18, 1996.

== Accident ==
At around 9 AM PST on 14th of march 1996. Golden Pacific flight 008 took off from Daniel Inouye Airport in Honolulu and started its 5 hour journey from Hawaii to the GIA airport. The Boeing 777-265ER had 192 souls on board. The plane started its approach to land on runway 9R, however, right before the plane would be able to touch the runway, strong crosswinds pushed the plane slightly to the left and the plane had to go around and try again. Around 4:30 pm PST the plane touched the runway again and started slowing down.

However, due to the heavy winds and a pilot error, the plane was pushed to the right and hit a taxiway sign causing it to lose a wheel tyre a few seconds after touchdown. Due to this the plane was not able to stop in time and ended up crashing through the fences and right into the busy highway [[I-205]]. The plane hit around 15 cars before the fuel exploded seconds later.
[[File:Crash site.png|thumb|Helicopter footage of the crash site.]]
The plane crash ended up taking the life of 192 passengers on the plane and 12 people on highway I-205, and led to the hospitalization of 21 more people.

The wing separated from the fuselage and hit the ILS systems, causing a short circuit and causing a small fire. The fire also caused the electricity supply of 27R's ILS systems to be disabled.

It took around 2 weeks to clean up and fix the highway and airport. This caused mass traffic issues in the areas of Lannex and Rio Pueblo. This also caused SFO and LAX's air traffic to increase due to the reduced aircraft movements the airport can take per day. Additionally, the ILS systems were broken on approach to the runways heading west, meaning if the prevailing winds were from the west, planes had to approach visually or divert to another airport. Both systems were fixed on 2nd of april.

== Investigation ==

Initial investigations revealed that the plane landed at least 900 meters beyond the usual touchdown point on Greenfield's 1,850 meter long runway. A team of airline officials, staff and officials from Greenfield International Airport Authority were rushed to the scene to investigate the accident and assist with rescue efforts. Boeing also announced that a team would be sent to provide technical assistance following a request from local authorities. The Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile (BEA) from France ordered an inquiry into the crash, which began the same day. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) also assisted the investigation by sending a team of specialists including a senior air safety investigator, a flight operations specialist, an aircraft systems specialist and technical advisers for Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration.

The attribution of pilot error as the root cause of the incident was voiced at a Golden Pacific conference days after the incident. Safety Manager of Golden Pacific, Viraj Sumbarhik, concluded that:

"The plane had sufficient fuel to divert to Los Angeles or San Francisco that had much longer runways. The only inconvenience is that passengers on a connecting itinerary would have less convenience due to that, but that should be relatively fine. We always prioritise safety over anything else here at Golden Pacific."

== Costs incurred ==
This incident cost around 1 million USD to repair the airport walls and around $140,000 to fix the ILS systems.

As the Montréal convention has not been put in place until 1999, there was no strict regulation as to how much Golden Pacific owed to the families of those perished. This ensued into one of the most fierce legal battles in Greenfield courts as one of the families requested much higher compensation costs than what was offered by Golden Pacific themselves. The case had been brought up to the Supreme Court in 1998, after which the lead judge decided that Golden Pacific was to pay the family of each one deceased $230,000 USD in compensation. (This meant that if 4 people from one family perished in the accident, the airline owed the family $920,000 USD)
