| RAF Wickenby (1940s) |
|
File Description:
RAF Wickenby was a purpose built Royal Air Force station constructed late 1942 and early 1943 it had two T2 type
hangars and one B1 type. The B1 and one of the T2 hangars can still be seen on the airfield site. The T2 near the
threshold of runway 21 was recently acquired by the airfield owners and after many years of industrial use is now,
once more, an aircraft hangar.
The airfield covered about 600 acres (2.4 km2), and had the usual three runway configuration with perimeter track,
hard standings, a brick watchtower and numerous brick and metal buildings for the aircrews and ground staff. A number
of the buildings were to the east (Communal Site, Living Quarters, WAAF Quarters) and stretched to and beyond the
Lissington road - a road travelled many an evening by the airmen and women who visited their favourite watering hole,
the White Hart at Lissington. The Sick Quarters were to the south of the airfield together with a Communal Site and
Living Quarters.
The north part of the former airfield is now known as Wickenby Aerodrome, which is a grass and concrete airfield. A
road from Holton cum Beckering to Snelland runs right over the former airfield. Companies based at the airfield are
Thruster Aircraft who make microlight planes; Fly365 Ltd who fly pleasure flights; and Rase Distribution - a haulage
firm. Planes using the airfield have to make contact first with the control tower at RAF Waddington.
The Watch Office is the home of the RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection and the Wickenby Archive, a museum and collection
of memorabilia and archive dedicated to the memory of the Squadrons who served here.

File Description:
Ridge Soaring Gliderport (79N) is a public-use glider airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the central business district of Unionville, in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is privately owned by Knauff & Grove, Inc. Tom Knauff and Doris grove are among the whos who in American and International soaring community.
Portions of the 1999 movie The Thomas Crown Affair were filmed here.
Co-owner Thomas L. Knauff set five FAI world records, and over 50 NAA national records flying from this airport.
Co-owner Doris Grove set three FAI feminine world records flying from this airport, and was the first woman to fly a glider more than 1000 km.
This FBO airport is world famous for ridge, thermal and wave soaring. It is located on U.S. Route 220 (alternate) 8 miles south of Interstate 80, between Unionville and Julian, at the base of the Bald Eagle Mountain ridge. It is approximately 10 miles from State College and approximately midway between Altoona and Lock Haven in the Bald Eagle Valley. Visitors can look at an entire wall of U.S. National and World records that have been set from this airfield.
Sadly as with so many small airports, Ridge Soaring is in risk of disappearing. for sale for many years, with no takers it may be sold to developers and disappear forever.
In FSX the airport was on the wrong side of the highway and cut into a mountain, I moved it to its proper location and heading, made the runway the correct size and heading, and added all the current buildings.

| FSX/P3D TWA 707-331Adv 1969 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the 707-300 in TWA 'Star Stream' colors. The payware 707-300 by Captain Sim is needed for this repaint. TWA was one of the two great U.S. intercontinental carriers of the jetliner golden era, the other being PanAm. They plied the world with their shiny 707s, DC-8s, and 747s, well before many other US carriers did so. TWA was also interesting, as it was run by the enigmatic Howard Hughes. On January 25,1959 TWA launched its first jet service on between New York and San Fransisco. The route was chosen by Howard Hughes himself, to compete with American Airlines new jet service between New York and Los Angeles. The plane, a 707-131, sported the new 'Star Stream' double globe livery, one of the most iconic liveries in civil aviation history. TWA carried this livery for almost 20 years, when it was phased out in the late 1970s. This repaint is of a TWA 707-331 Advanced, reg: N18701. It was one of the 127 which went into TWA service in the long history of the airline. It was delivered new in January 1966. Sadly, it was damaged beyond repair in Milan Italy on 22 December 1975, when it landed outside the runway, struck a transmissometer and a CAT II television camera. The landing gear and all 4 engines separated in the subsequent slide. The aircraft came to a rest, with the nose broken off behind the forward cabin door. There were no fatalities. Textures are 32bit DDS. This repaint was tested FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| Douglas C-47 (79001) Swedish Air Force |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for version 3.14 of the Douglas C-47 by Manfred Jahn and colleagues in the colors of C-47B 79001 of the Swedish Air Force that was at the start of the Catalina affair (Swedish: Catalinaaffären), a military confrontation and Cold War-era diplomatic crisis in June 1952, in which Soviet fighter jets shot down two Swedish aircraft over international waters in the Baltic Sea. The first aircraft to be shot down was an unarmed Swedish Air Force Tp 79, a derivative of the Douglas DC-3, carrying out radio and radar signals intelligence-gathering for the National Defence Radio Establishment. None of the crew of eight was rescued. The second aircraft to be shot down was a Swedish Air Force Tp 47, a Catalina flying boat, involved in the search and rescue operation for the missing DC-3. The Catalina's crew of five was saved. The Soviet Union publicly denied involvement until its dissolution in 1991. The aircraft was manufactured in 1943 with original US serial number 42-5694, and was delivered to USAAF 15th Troop Carrier Squadron (61st Troop Carrier Group). It saw action in northern Africa before being stationed at RAF Barkston Heath. On June 13, 1952, it disappeared east of the isle of Gotska Sandön while carrying out signals intelligence-gathering operations for the Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment. Both aircraft were located in 2003, and the DC-3 was salvaged, and the wreckage is currently on display in the Swedish Air Force Museum near Linköping. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom for Manfred Jahn's C-47 version 3.14, based on the paintkit by Gman5250.

| WASP PT-17 Stearman (N59293) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint only, for the payware Vertigo Studios Stearman Vol.1 set. This repaint depicts the restored Stearman PT-17 N59293, owned/operated by Andrew and Mike Porter, based at Spring Lake, New Jersey. The aircraft was manufactured as USAAF 41-25714 and was used continually from June 1942 until June 1945. During WWII the aircraft had multiple assignments, one of which included Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, home of the WASP (Women's Airforce Service Pilots), where it was based from February 1943 until August 1944. Sold surplus after the war, the aircraft was used as a crop duster in New Mexico all the way until 1981. Starting in 2006, the aircraft was restored to factory-original award-winning condition, and painted in the same markings it wore while stationed at Avenger Field, flying as a tribute to all of the WASP pilots. (In one of the aircraft's other WWII training assignments, Donald Strait flew this aircraft during flight training and would go on to become a double-ace flying P-51's with the 361st Fighter Squadron).

| B727-200 Iberia 1970s livery |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the original Iberia livery for their Boeing 727-256/Advanced, for the CaptainSim B727. This particular model, registered EC-CFA entered service in 1973 named "Jerez - Xeres - Sherry", and remained active until 2001.
There is only one problem. In CaptainSim's model, both underwings is texturized with the left wing. This means that the registration (EC-CFA) that should appear only under the left wing, is visible too under the right wing, inverted. It's a problem of CaptainSim's model that can't be avoided, except by removing the registration number. I have opted, however, to keep the code so at least from some angle, the model is accurate.
I have dedicated around 40 hours of work in building this livery forom scratch and adjusting it to the pixel with true obsesion for detail. If you enjoy it, and you think my work deserves it, you can buy me a coffee in https://ko-fi.com/nachocr :) It will encourage me to keep doing more liveries. Have a good flight!

| X2AM - RAF Aldermaston - Berkshire, England |
|
File Description:
RAF Aldermaston (ICAO X2AM) is a former Royal Air Force station located 8 miles (13 km) east of Newbury, Berkshire and 9.8 miles (15.8 km) southwest of Reading, Berkshire, England.
Originally built as an RAF Bomber Command airfield during 1941-1942, Aldermaston was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces in August 1942.
Placed under the jurisdiction of Eighth Air Force, it was home to several Douglas C-47 Skytrain Troop Carrier Groups. It was transferred to Ninth Air Force in 1943 primarily as a Troop Carrier Command base. Returned to RAF Control at the end of 1945, it was used by Technical Training Command before being placed on Care and Maintenance. In 1946, it was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and used by BOAC aircraft for training.
Also used by the Ministry of Aircraft Production for Supermarine Spitfire assembly and flight testing, the airfield closed in 1950 and the site became home of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (later the Atomic Weapons Establishment) from 1950.

| RAF Melbourne - Yorkshire, England. |
|
File Description:
RAF Melbourne was a Royal Air Force station typical of the expansion period of the Second World War. Located 5 miles to the South-west of Pocklington, Yorkshire, England. The nearest village is Seaton Ross.
East Common just outside the village of Seaton Ross was requisitioned for use as a grass airfield in November 1940. In late 1940 the airfield was used by Armstrong Whitworth Whitleys of 10 Squadron as a relief landing ground for RAF Leeming. The airfield soon closed for re-development as a standard Bomber Command airfield with three concrete runways and three hangars.
In May 1945 the airfield was transferred to RAF Transport Command and 575 Squadron moved in with the Douglas Dakota. The squadron only stayed for a few months operating transport flight to and from continental Europe. With the departure of the Dakota a number of specialised Flights used the airfield for six months but by the middle of 1946 the airfield was no longer used for flying.

| State Capitals.zip |
|
File Description:
I have been using BAsys excellent Visit series in free flight and collected a large number.
But the USA just has too many airports for my lifetime.
Therefor I have created a set or rewards for state capitals and Washington DC.
Comprise a seal with the flag as detail for each state and one for the complete collection 52 in all.
I automated the creation of xml files, GUID generation etc by creating macros for excel 2007 and up.
create your XML file add the two images small and large and drag to BGLcomp.exe
and your reward is created.
Incidently the original fsx 2009 sizes of 100x80 and 300x370 is no longer a restriction that is found in old reward compilers. I use 100x100 for the small and upto nnnx370 for detail. nnn=upto 680
You can therefore use real holiday photos id you wish.
The folder that does this is also included in the attached State Capitals.zip
Unzip drop the folder US States into ..\fsx|rewards and start flying.
