HOPPER INC. AIRFIELD - Add-on Scenery for FS 2002 / 2004


HOPPER INC. AIRFIELD

"Hopper Inc." is a young helicopter-company that is specialized in
shuttle flights around the Hood River area in the state of Oregon, USA.
A former US-Airforce base near Mt. Hood serves as the company's center
of operations. This area is now known under the name "Hopper Inc.
Airfield".

Since its days as an Airforce base the airfield has been subject of
extensive modifications to fit the needs of "Hopper Inc.". Now there
are two roomy hangars together with a service station, as well as three
helipads.

As "Hopper Inc." solely uses helicopters, it hasn't been neccessary to
refurbish the airfield's single runway. Nonetheless it is in use again
these days. However it serves a completely different purpose now...


THE "HOPPER RUN"

Originally originated from a bet between some pilots of "Hopper Inc."
some sort of a helicopter slalom course was set up on the company's
runway.

The objective was to master the course in the shortest amount of time
possible without hitting any of the construction cones that mark the
route.

Quickly the course became known as the "Hopper Run" among chopper
pilots throughout the region. As the runway isn't in use, "Hopper Inc."
recently started to invite other pilots to try out the course.

I liked to thank all of the following people for their help. Without
them "Hopper Inc. Airfield" wouldn't exist.

"Laurie Bennett", "Linda Lewis", and "Jens Weigandt" for doing an
awesome beta-testing job as well as offering some really good ideas and
advice.

"Bob Bernstein", "David Clarke", "Th.W.M. van Dijk", and "Jordan Moore"
for helping me out on several problems that I ran into at the creation
of the scenery.

Thank you!
