ABOUT THE AIRPORT:
On August 29, 1931, New Haven's new Municipal Airport was formally dedicated and opened for operation. For over a year workmen have been busily engaged transforming what was once a thickly wooded and swampy area into what can now be classified as one of the leading airports in the country with the most modern equipment of any airport in New England. Tweed-New Haven Airport(KHVN) serves New Haven and New Haven County and is owned by the City Of New Haven. The airport has more than one runway. The longest is a paved runway extending 5600 feet. The facility is at an elevation of 14 feet at a distance of about 3 miles from New Haven. The facility is serviced by two commercial airlines, US Airways and Delta Connection.

ABOUT THE SCENERY:
This is the second airport in my Connecticut series. Tweed-New Haven is not far from Sikorsky. So I included a short hop in a Cirrus SR20 in the flight plans. You will need the usual texture sets, though I am beginning to get away from the ASDv2.1 set. There are not as many objects employing that set in this scenery. However, you must have Nova, Nova Gold and NovaSim textures. They are available from SurClaro for Nova and Nova Gold and fsnova.com for NovaSim. The file for NovaSim is nstext1.zip.
As a reminder, please turn off your crash detect in FS. There is a known problem with crashing into an invisible object. Turning off the crash detect will fix it. Oh, one other thing.....enjoy the scenery!
