The destination for the SimPilot Forum's twelveth Flight Rally is Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California USA!
Originally known as Mines Field, the Los Angeles International Airport site has
been used as a general aviation field since 1928. During World War II it was
used for military flights. Commercial airline service started in December 1946,
and the present terminal complex was constructed in 1961. In the early 1980s,
Los Angeles International Airport added domestic and international terminals
and a second-level roadway.
Today, Los Angeles International Airport is the third busiest airport in the world (behind Atlanta Hartsfield and Chicago O'Hare) based on number of passengers. In 2001, 61.6 million passengers used Los Angeles International Airport (15.9 million international and 45.6 million domestic). Los Angeles International Airport ranks third worldwide in tons of air cargo handled, with more than 2.2 million tons of freight and mail shipped in 2001.
There is scenery for this airport in Microsoft's "Flight Simulator" version 4.0 to 2002, Nomissoft's "Airline Simulator 2", subLogic's "Airline Transport Pilot", and subLogic's "Flight" and "Flight Light".
