The destination for the SimPilot Forum's twentysixth Flight Rally is Daytona Beach International Airport in Daytona, Florida USA!
In the early days of aviation, the white sands of Daytona Beach served as the
only runway for daredevil pilots who were hired as guest entertainment by
area's upscale hotels. This entertainment source made the beach itself Volusia
County's first airport. Soon the entertainment source shifted to a service
focus when a Pitcairn Airwing began making regular airmail deliveries on the
beach, and the first twin-engine aircraft ever flown left the ground at Daytona
Beach.
Today, Daytona Beach International Airport is the gateway to Central Florida, linking the Atlantic Ocean beaches, Daytona International Speedway, the Kennedy Space Center, and the historic St. Augustine area with the rest of the world.
There is scenery for this airport in Microsoft's "Flight Simulator" version 95 to 2004, Nomissoft's "Airline Simulator 2", subLogic's "Airline Transport Pilot", "Flight", and "Flight Light", as well as subLogic's "Scenery Disk 7" and "USA East" scenery packs which can be used with Microsoft's "Flight Simulator" version 4.0b to 5.1, and Lago's "Airline Simulator".
Download the file KDAB.GIF in Files Section 3 (Navigation) for an aeronautical chart of the area. Current aviation weather for the airport can be found at NOAA's Web Site on the Internet.
