~~~ MISSION COMPLETED 16 OCTOBER 2021 ~~~
OPERATION VITTLES: In March 1948 The greatest airlift in history began. For fifteen months, British and American aviators flew day and night a total of 92,000,000 miles to keep West Berlin feed, fueled, and powered. It was monumental and it was monotonous labor. At its peak, planes landed at Templehof airport every 30 seconds. Join All American Airlines as we honor these aviators and fly the historic routes they flew for fifteen days! ALL THE WAY!
NOTE: For realism, fly into EDDI, the historic Templehof airport that was operational and used in Berlin at the time of the airlift. Templehof Airport closed in 2008 and may not be available in your simulator. If that is the situation, use EDDB. To download Templehof for X-plane go to: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/53039-berlin-tempelhof-eddi-alive-v-001-community-project/ For MSFS 2020, download EDDI here: https://flightsim.to/file/19112/berlin-tempelhof-airport-eddi
As an added bonus, here is scenery for X-plane for RAF Gatow (EDBG): https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/71558-back-in-time-period-scenery-1950-60s-europe/ Unfortunately, it is not listed as an airport on FSAirlines, so we can not create a route to it.
