I recall reading that in the real world, this is the location of an F-18
testing range. Possibly EA intended to put an extra airfield here, but
never got around to it; possibly they used the area to test the simulator,
and removed whatever buildings and things that might have been there
before releasing F-18. Anyway, as far as anyone knows there's nothing
special anywhere near there.
