Background
Founded in July 2014 by members of the Second Life Cheer Leading Squad (SLCS), the original Cheerport was built on a raised platform 450m above the ocean. A basic facility, the first airport had a single 100m-long runway. Over time, as more land was acquired, Cheerport grew and was lowered to it's present day elevation of 85 meters.
By November 2014, Cheerport Intermodal had become a region-sized airport constructed atop a dual-level platform. At the beginning of the month, the facility's ATC tower and emergency facilities were shifted into the center of the platform to make space for a second 256m long runway (which was placed parallel to the existing east-west running asphalt surface). The facility continued to be equipped with two airship docks, a public helipad and several rental pads. At the southern edge of the flight deck is a mid-sized, four-storey terminal building equipped with jet bridges and check-in desks. Parking is provided on the platform directly underneath the flight-deck, and at rental hangars located in a courtyard at the south-eastern corner of the main platform.
In mid-2015 Cheerport Intermodal had annexed part of the adjacent 'Twice Right' region, building an additional twenty hangars north of the runway, connected to the main patform by folding bridges. At sea-level there is a marina, connected to the platform by a cargo elevator.
Mid 2016 saw several changes to Cheerport Intermodal, first was a change in ownership, but it still has retained its ties to Second Life Cheerleading Squad (SLCS). With the ownership change the adjacent 'Twice Right' was no longer part of Cheerport Airport.
