File Description:
Known originally as Naval Air Station Sunnyvale after its christening in 1933, Moffett Field was renamed in 1942 in honor of Rear Admiral W.A. Moffett a founder of the Navy's Lighter than air program. By this time the LTA program had been reduced to the use of smaller dirigibles for scouting and anti-submarine work but the airfield remained immensely important as a fixed-wing facility due to it's strategic location between Seattle and San Diego. The Ames Research Center established before the war also blossomed into a major post-war aeronautical research and development center due in part to its highly advanced wind tunnel facilities. After the Second World War, Moffett Field developed into a West Coast hub for Patrol and ASW operations against encroaching Soviet missile boats. The NASA presence at Moffett began as early as 1939 with the establishment of the Aames Research Facility and evolving into the sophisticated R&D complex it is today. This particular scenery package attempts to represent the base more or less as it is today.

File Description:
Some users of my Moffett Federal Airfield scenery (KNUQ_JS3.zip) may find that the P-3 Orions do not appear. This is due to a typographical error in the aircraft.cfg file. Just drop the attached file into your "JKAI_P-3C Moffett" folder and overwrite the extisting file. Sorry for the trouble and thanks to Voorink for letting me know of the error and again to Michael Pearson for some awesome reapints.

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933. Known for 75 years as Moffett Field Naval Air Station, this unique site started life as Sunyvale Field (then Air Station) and was planned as the west coast base of the new Dirigible U.S.S. Macon.
The Macon was a new direction for airships in that it carried a squadron of fighter/scout aircraft and would provide for the U.S. Navy a 'carrier in the sky'. To provide for this new queen of the skies a new base was created with a unique hangar, for many years the largest free-standing wood construction in world.
This scenery attempts to capture Sunnyvale as it was first opened in 1933. I have taken a few liberties like adding in full grown trees that were part of the original master plan but I believe you will find this base captures the spirit of the original. Scenery contains custom FSDS and Gmax models as well as period AI from J.R. Lucariny (F9C SParrowhawk) and a custom repaint of the default Ford Trimotor by Ed Moore and Gary Smith.
