The giant chicken is just north and to the right of runway 34R and looks like the sign on a fast food place.  I don't know if it's really there or if that's just the auto-gen scenery.

To avoid copyright problems M$ makes up everything.
I have never seen a sign like that in the US.
A lot of the building have names on them. And I think
some of the airport buildings have real names.
In NYC the Met Life building has its name on it.

It would make an interesting thread to see how many
real  names there are in FS9.

M$ should do the same after it releases FS2006. That way, our computers wil be able to catch up with it. M$ provides the patches and we provide the aircraft, scenery, modules, sounds, panels, textures, etc.

I'll probably be flamed for this, but I don't think there should be an FS2006, I think that MS should keep with FS9, and just release updates for it.
