FSX Turner Field Scenery

Turner Field (7PA5), Prospectville, Pennsylvania. This small general aviation airport was located only three miles west of the Willow Grove Naval Air Station, PA. Turner Field was closed in the late 1980's. By John Hawranick, Jr.

This small general aviation airport was located only 3 miles west of the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. Turner Field was apparently built at some point between 1945-47. The 1986 Flight Guide (according to Chris Kennedy) described Turner Field as having a 2,126' paved Runway 14/32 & a 2,200' turf Runway 7/25. The area around the little airfield had become densely developed, which most likely precipitated its closure.

Installation:
Install both BGL files into your Addon Scenery\Scenery directory. That's all. This file uses any and all EZ-scenery/Instant scenery/Rwy12 libraries. You won't need them, but having them will only make it better.

Issues:
The more libraries you have, the better this will look. There is a high tension tower near the grass strip. I can't make it go away. If you can, let me know.
