James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, Ohio.
Thank you for downloading my version of KDAY. I have been searching for a long time to find a good version of the airport without any luck so I decided to make my own. I am sure there are several areas I could tweak on this package down the road but for now I think I have a good accurate rendition of the airport. I completely rebuilt the terminal from the ground up as well as several hangers and the control tower. I am very new at scenery design so the buildings aren't the greatest! I like how it looks though! By Brian Good
