FS2004 – Hamat Z19O In Lebanon (Wuajh Al Hajar)

FS2004 – Hamat Z19O In Lebanon (also called Wuajh Al Hajar). Hamat is a village near the coast of Lebanon, around 25 miles north of Beirut. The airport runway was built during the civil war to the west of Hamat in the late 1970’s, between Hamat and another village called Wuajh Al Hajar. The intention was have an alternative to Beirut airport, which could be (and often was) closed by shell fire from any or all of the sides involved in the civil war, or by bombing by those who were not directly part of the civil war but participated occasionally. It has been used for drag racing, occasional freefall parachuting (this may continue) and is now an army base with mostly helicopter use; rumour suggests Special Forces.
