Ghost Airports PA - Update 3. This update installs Johnston (East Pittsburgh) and Pitt-Wilkins airports to the Ghost Airports - Pennsylvania Collection. By Richard O. Finley.

Installation:
This is very simple. Now that you have unzipped the downloaded file, put the four resulting .BGL files in ~~microsoft flight simulator X\addon scenery\scenery. Since these are new airports, there will be no old files to overwrite. The new airports (Johnston and Pitt-Wilkins) will have the identifiers PN60 and PN80 respectively.

This completes the Ghost Airports Collection – Pennsylvania for all Pennsylvania ghost airports on the March 1940 Cleveland Sectional chart.

I intend to continue to build the Pennsylvania collection as I find more information on any qualifying ghost airports.

This update also includes revised Readme files with one revised and two new pictures in the picture version.

On the .JPG picture included with this update, Johnston airport is under the nose of the pictured aircraft and Pitt-Wilkins airport is under the tailwheel.

This scenery is released as Freeware.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

Extract the downloaded archive

Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
Place scenery in Addon Scenery

Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
Activate in Scenery Library

In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
Always read the included readme

Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
