FS2004 / FSX (SP2/Acceleration compatible)
SNECMA C-450 Coléoptère NEW VERSION!
complete package, with full moving parts, animations, custom panel and a
full virtual cockpit. By Patrice Grange, The SNECMA C-450 Coléoptère was
"tail-sitter" VTOL aircraft (Vertical Take Off and Landing) developed by
the French Engine Manufacturer SNECMA in the 1950s. Using the concept of
the "annular wing", it made its first flight on May 5th, 1959.
Unfortunately, the test flights were stopped after an accident on 25
July 1959, even if the pilot was able to eject and to survive. The model
has full moving parts and animations, an original custom 2D panel (an
original bitmap by me) and a full animated VC. AS THE FLIGHT MODEL IS
PARTICULARLY UNUSUAL ("TAILSITTER" FOR VERTICAL TAKE OFF AND LANDING,
THEN A 90° ROTATION TO REACH THE CRUISE FLIGHT POSITION), PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS (DETAILED PDF INCLUDED), USING THE FLAPS AND
GEAR CONTROLS A VERY SPECIAL WAY !! Designed by Patrice Grange.

FS2004 Albert Whitted Airport KSPG
Within a decade after the famous Wright Brothers’ 1903 flight, aviation
history was being made in Florida. The first transcontinental flight
landed at Jacksonville in 1912. A naval air training center opened at
Pensacola in 1913, and the St. Petersburg - Tampa Airboat Line, the
world’s first regularly scheduled commercial airline began service in
1914. Tom Benoist, a pioneer airboat (seaplane) manufacturer from St
Louis started this cargo and passenger airline as well as a flying
school on Tampa Bay. Backed by members of the St. Petersburg Board of
Trade, he built hangars on the north edge of the yacht basin. Anthony
“Tony” Jannus, Benolsfs head pilot, took the airline’s first passenger,
former mayor A. C. Phell, across the bay in a biplane on January 1,
1914. Phell’s high bid of $400 at an auction held before the flight
brought him this honor. The twenty mile maiden flight of the new service
took twenty - three minutes to complete. A few days later, a light cargo
was for the first time flown across the bay. The activities of this
airline demonstrated that air travel was practical although services
were discontinued after only a few months due to financial and technical
difficulties.
