File Name: S52 Methow Valley State File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 16 Jan 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Nestled in the scenic Methow Valley of Washington State, Methow Valley State is considered to be the birthplace of smokejumping. For those unfamiliar, smokejumpers are brave men and women who jump out of perfectly good airplanes to fight forest fires in remote and otherwise inaccessible regions. The first, "experimental," jumpers flew out of here in 1939. Smokejumping operations continue at Methow Valley State today and the primary aircraft appears to be the versatile CASA Aviocar. My rendition of the airfield is a pretty basic WED build tested in version 9.70 only. There ought to be no reason, however, why it shouldn't work in version 10. I apologize for being a version 9 dinosaur, I'm just being stubborn and like my setup the way I've got it! Enjoy! More North/Central Washington State airports are on the way!
