I'm going to echo the theory that the best bet is a small rural airstrip. But I would also agree that suspending an airplane wouldn't work well. So, for myself what I'd end up doing is mixing the design of the airport in my new hometown with that of the location in my old hometown. The town I used to live in has a small grass strip that runs parallel to the tracks. There's only about three small hangars there, and hardly any activity, but if the hangars were flats along the backdrop and the strip itself ran between the track and the backdrop, I think you'd have room for it. Especially if it was placed in/near a corner and the strip runs into the backdrop. The other strip, near the town I live in now, is more developed. It has a small group of guys that do repair and maintenance work there, and the strip is paved and lit, but still quite small. (I wouldn't want to even think of landing anything larger than a crop-spraying plane there.) You could have a couple of guys working on a plane if you wanted to simulate activity without suspending a plane; or if you had a lot of plane kits you could also create activity by simulating a fly-in; that's a pretty big deal that happens in about midsummer at the airport here.
