FSX – Scenery Taylor Field

FSX – Scenery Taylor Field, Hammondsport, New York (NY), USA. The airport named Taylor field (on 1970’s sectional charts) is a small 1800′ strip not shown in the stock FSX list of airports. No ICAO code or other designator could be found with extensive research; a code of NY3C was used. This is a part reality part historic scenery as it represents the modern day airport, the Glenn Curtiss Museum, and adjacent to the airport a facsimile of the original horse racetrack that was used by Glenn Curtiss to fly his June Bug on July 4th 1908. It is as close as possible to the original spot using archival photos and conversations with the Director of the Curtiss Museum, Traff Doherty. Extensive use of new landclass is also employed to give a better representation of the geographic area. By Jon Davidson.
