Ghost Airports - Pennsylvania Update 4. Ghost Airports Collection - Pennsylvania update 4 presents Franklin, PA airport. This is the original Franklin airport where the Franklin Sport aircraft manufactured in the Franklin Aircraft factory were brought to be assembled and flown. By Richard O. Finley.

Installation:
This is very simple. Now that you have unzipped the downloaded file, put the two resulting .BGL files in ~~microsoft flight simulator X\addon scenery\scenery. Since this is a new airport, there will be no old files to overwrite. The new airport will have the identifier PA99. The Franklin airport was never licensed but FSX requires an airport identifier so I chose the unused PA99 for its identifier.

This update also includes revised Readme file with pictures.

There is a video file that features a Franklin Sport 90.
