ABOUT THE AIRPORT:
During the late depression years (from 1938 to July, 1940), a new two-story terminal building was constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). In 1941, the name of the then Milwaukee County Airport was changed to "General Mitchell Field" Brigadier General William "Billy" Mitchell who was born in Milwaukee on December 29, 1879. On June 19, 1986, the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors officially renamed the airport "General Mitchell International Airport," also reflecting the presence of United States Customs at the airport. General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) is a medium-hub airport owned and operated by Milwaukee County.

ABOUT THE SCENERY:
This is version 2 for General Mitchell International Airport. I previously posted the first version for FS2002 Back in December 2002. That version had 1606 downloads. I decided to do the facility again for FS2004. The terminal has been completely redone. There are two custom textures for the flight school and the US Customs buildings. Most airlines are represented and concourse E and C have the correct number of gates. I had to cut some of the gates in concourse D to save on frames. The Wisconsin ANG and the USAF Reserve are also represented. Have fun with the new version of GMI scenery.
