Garry J Smith, on behalf of the Ford Tri-Motor Project, has announced the release of Ford Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, to accompany the aircraft after which the project is named.

“The scenery package is for the Ford Airport aircraft factory circa 1930’s – in Dearborn MI – it has been rendered as close as possible to the historical field and endeavours to capture the essence of the period. Many hundreds of hours have been put into the development of this scenery by several people and most importantly it is receiving very favorable feedback from simmers that have downloaded and installed the package.

This scenery includes many unique models developed specifically for the Project – many of them by the renowned expert model builder Sidney Schwartz. Sid graciously gifted his time and effort to the project and made some outstanding historical models for this unique period in aviation history.

This scenery pack, and all of the other stuff at http://www.ford-tri-motor.net, is free for FS2004 simmers to enjoy a slice of history that was an fundamental period in aviation.”
