| Lockheed VC-121A Constellation "Columbine II" |

File Description:
The Lockheed C-121A Constellation is the military transport version of the L-749A Constellation. Delivered on 22 November 1948, this particular aircraft was soon converted to VC-121A VIP-transport. From November 1952 till November 1954 this was the personal transport of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In 1952, President Eisenhower was flying to Florida. The Presidential plane was named 'Columbine II' (after the official flower of Colorado, the First Lady's home state), but it was identified to flight controllers as "Air Force 610" (from its tail number 48-610). However, flying in the same general region was Eastern Airlines Flight 610. The Eastern Airlines pilot overheard a conversation between flight controllers and the President's plane, and for a moment thought the references to flight "610" were meant for him. Although nothing untoward happened, the government realized that the confusion could have been tragic. Since then, any Air Force aircraft with the President on board has been referred to as "Air Force One." Thus, the 'Columbine II' was the first aircraft to be distinguished with this designation, and she served President Eisenhower for several years in this role. The usual pilots were Acft. Cmdr. (Lt.) Col. William G. Draper and Pilot Maj. William W. Thomas. This repaint has been tested in FS2004 only. However, it should be working in FSX also. You will require Team 749's (Manfred Jahn and Co) Lockheed L-749 Constellation package (LOCKHEED749.ZIP), the folder Lockheed_L749_0 (twin stack exhausts). Also required Team 749's Lockheed L-749 Constellation models update (749_MODELS_UPDATE.ZIP). Repaint by Maarten Brouwer, with a big thankyou to Eric Joiner for his permission to use his Columbine nose art.

| Sproat Lake CAA9 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sproat Lake is in the middle of southern Vancouver Island, 6 miles west of the town of Port Alberni and 30 miles directly south of Comox Valley Airport. It is some 14 miles long and around the eastern shores has a large number of houses with docks and boats. Plus, in the offshoot called Upper Sproat Lake, it has the Sproat Lake Tankerbase CAA9, home to two rather large Martin Mars firefighting planes. Their history is interesting, and their capacity for carrying water for dousing forest fires during the summer months has kept them in use since their construction in the 1940's. They have finally been retired from fighting fires in 2013, having been first retired from military service in 1958. This scenery is made for use with Ultimate Terrain; there was another version made several years ago which either predated or ignored UT. This scenery is for the month when a Mars was being repainted before retiring to a museum as a military plane, date unkown but perhaps 2013? If it is a time when there were three in existance then it is sometime in the 1960's; take your pick. Because of hills adjacent to the lake the landing of the AI Mars may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not it flies into rock before landing. Take off and departure seem to be more reliable than landing on a daily basis. The Mars flies to Vancouver Harbour, but only in theory; it does not land and park as there is no parking available for such a large aircraft. The AI follows in the second post.

| VVCR Cam Ranh Airport |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cam Ranh is currently a fast-growing beauty spot and tourist area on the Vietnamese coast. In May 2004, Cam Ranh airport (VVCR) opened to commercial traffic, initially only serving domestic traffic but international flights will commence in 2005. The airport was once a massive US Air Force base, but was later used as a base for Russion spy plane activities.
This scenery adds this "missing" airport to Flight Simulator, but much is based around satellite views of the airport when the US were spying on the Russian base and other historical information and it may not accurately reflect the airport as it is today. Furthermore, my capabilities at scenery design are limited and restricted to scenery objects available through the Rwy12 scenery creation programme.
You do NOT need to download and install the full 45 MB Rwy 12 Object Placer programme, which is for the designers and not the end user.
Some of the scenery objects will appear without any extra downloads, but to get the greatest benefit from this scenery, you may optionally download following files, which should be installed according to the instructions within this download and not as described in their own download archive:
Level 2 objects
rwy12-lvl2.zip (Israel Roth and Seev Kahn/John Hinson),
Level 3 objects
jw_rwy12.zip (Shehryar Ansari),
tl_rwy12.zip (Todd Lucas) ,
ford_transit_collection.zip (S Legg),
hgrrwy12.zip (ESDG), and
ga-hangers_lib_for_rwy12.zip (S Legg)
Also included with this scenery are two EditVoicepack files which may be imported to that programme so that the controllers will be heard referring to "Cam Ranh".

File Description:
This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Porangatu Airport (ICAO: SWWA, no IATA), which is the airport serving the city of Porangatu, Goiás, Brasil.

It was also tested and is also operational (as of January 03, 2018) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. Only the default X-Plane 11 libraries, by Laminar Research, are needed. No third party libraries are used.

| De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter (LN-IKI) Transit Air |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Milviz DHC-3 Otter. It shows LN-IKI as it looked when flying with Transit Air of Norway in 1983. Built in 1954 with c/n 30, it was shipped to Norway in crates and was assembled at Kjeller Air Base Norway, before joining the Norwegian Air Force. It was struck off in 1967 and became LN-IKI with Varangfly A/S of Kirkenes. It was severely damaged in 1972, when it landed on water with the wheels down, but was repaired. In 1984, it went to the US as N4683K. After a few years in Canada as C-FWAF, it is now flying in Alaska as N63354, based in Juneau. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Milviz.

| Castle Bamburgh United Kingdom N 55 36.32 W 1 42.35 |
|
File Description:
Castle Bamburgh United Kingdom N 55 36.32 W 1 42.35 Bamburgh’s written history begins in the times of the Anglo-Saxons with one chronicler citing Bamburgh as probably the most important place in all of England. But even before this there were people living here, there is archaeological evidence that as early as 10,000 BC there were people here. There are Bronze Age (2,400 -700BC) burials nearby and pottery sherds dating to the Iron Age (700 BC – 43AD). With little evidence of their occupation only the name Din Guayrdi gives us a hint that Romans were sometime between 43AD and 410AD.
Important VFR point for approaching at various airports. Within the downloaded package you will find readme files for scenery installation. Good fly VFR. Pasquale Marrulli.

File Description:
This folder contains two repaints for the A2A Lockheed L049 Constellation in the first colors of 43-10310 of the USAAF. C/n 1962 was the one of the first C-69's delivered to the USAAF in 1943. It started flying in TWA colors in 1944, but with its military serial. It made a record breaking flight from Burbank to Washington DC on 17 April 1944, with Howard Hughes as pilot. It was allocated to Transcontinental & Western as NC38936, but remained on the USAAF inventory until 1947. It was then used for spares, but rebuilt in 1952 for Intercontinent Airways. It was written off after it caught fire in a belly landing at Burbank during a training flight. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

File Description:
This P-51D-30NA came off the assembly line in 1944 with the USAAF S/N of 44-75007. In 1966, she was restored and converted to "Cavalier" by EAA Warbirds of America Hall of Fame inductee, David Lindsay, Cavalier Aircraft Corp. From 1973 to1976 44-75007 raced at Reno as Race #96, owned by Jerry Brassfield. The next owner was Robert Love, President of the Pacific Military Museum. Love donated the Mustang to EAA in 1977, painted as "PAUL I" in honor of EAA Founder Paul H. Poberezny. Paul flew the P-51 at many air shows and fly-ins over the years, including racing at Reno. In 2003 “Paul I" was retired to the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Textures only for A2A's P-51 Mustang WoP2 (FSX & P3D)
