Hi Good People,

Just a quick note to let you know that the people on the FS2004 Ford Tri-Motor Project have released some new scenery.

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.

...

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.

For those that want a closer look at the details of the Ford Airport project - below is a link to a slideshow:

While your at the Ford Tri-Motor site - if you feel like a bit of relaxation - check out the Puzzles Page - over 30 Jigsaw puzzles to keep you entertain.

...

Well that is all from the Ford Tri-Motor Project Team - happy simming and enjoy the freebies available on the site.

Regards
