R.A.F. (M.O.D.) MACHRIHANISH (Campbeltown) REQUEST

Postby deleriousfishman » Fri Sep 28, 2007 2:10 pm

HI!
I REALLY would like someone to make accurate and realistic scenery for this RAF base situated at the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland, so I don't have to make do with Microsofts default single runway no taxi ways version!

Incase you don't know RAF Machrihanish is now on "Care and Maintenance" (non operational) since the V- Bombers left after the Cold War ended. However, Machrihanish still sees action. It is Scotlands answer to Area 51 and is second only to Boscombe Down for the whole of the UK. It is a popular belief that the US has tested the infamous "Aurora" aircraft over Europe with the aircraft having been stationed at Machrihanish during that time. It was also confirmed that sonic booms heard in the local area during the 1980s/1970s came from the testing of the F117 A "Nighthawk" and SR-71 "Blackbird" which were based at Machrihanish when they did not officially exist! Machrihanish was once a US Navy SEALS station and still has an active NAVY SEALS building there. It also incorporates the local Campbeltown Airport which has flights arriving from Glasgow thorugh LOGANAIR. I know and love Machrihanish as I recently attended an Air Cadet summer camp there and would love if someone could recreate the mystique and the beautiful scenery of Machrihanish and the surrounding area and the once Ultra Secretive "Gaydon Hanger" that is situated at the end of Machrihanishes mammoth runway.

If someone could make this scenery for FS 2004 I swear I will cyber hug you

p.s. How could the sonic booms be from a f-117, it is subsonic and almost silent...  :P
