Download Free 3D Model KSNA Class C Airspace 3D Print Model

Summary
I’ve been looking for a way to show new student pilots how the numbers on a sectional translate to actual space in the air. See the disclaimer below if you’re somehow tempted to plan a flight using a piece of 3-D printed plastic.
How I Designed This
Sketchup Fun
“Lisa” in the SketchUp community did all the heavy lifting. I parsed out John Wayne’s airspace and brought it kind of to scale.

Custom Section
Only a Novelty
I don’t totally feel like this is necessary, but just in case: This is a model, is not to scale, and may not even be accurate. I tried to make it so it would sit on top of a sectional to help new students visualize the shape of the airspace only. Don’t use this for any kind of flight planning…but dear god I hope you knew that already. 😐
