NAS Chase Field KNIR

Does anybody remember this field? How about this movie line? "Go to Texas, Get Jets"
I have started on a rather plausible rendition using AFX and then ADE with the FS9 option selected. Chase Field is already converted to what is now called Chase Field Industrial Complex with ICAO of IXA2, but does not appear in my FS9 or FSX.
I have primarily switched to FSX, but recently re-installed FS9 for 1980's air traffic only and using Retro AI repaints for my commercial airlines.
When everything tests well I will probably convert my flightplans to FSX.
As far as design details are concerned, I have yet to find details such as ATC frequencies and such. Therefore, I am winging-it from scratch at this point. A lot of scrap book photos online might help with the placement of buildings, but I am not there yet.
Overall, I have been inspired by the boatloads of AI legacy jets that have been released recently, and with the TA-4 that appears on the MAIW main screen, it would make sense to put this base into action. If anyone wants this as a starting point I will make it available. I used the measuring tool in Google Earth to reference most of the dimensions except after I was nearly to the point where I am now, I went back and saw that the parallel runways are a bit too far from each other. Eventually, I might break up the twys and reset the runways, but for now I will leave it alone.
