Has anyone made any scenery for Enewetak Atoll? This Atoll was the base of operations duing the 1950's atom bomb test. I have a good friend that was stationed there and today we went through all his pictures and stuff from that time. This was a busy place with Super Connies, B-36's and B-29's flying in and out all the time. The Atoll was very small but had one strip long enough for a B-52 to land on. I think it would great to have some period scenery of this place and if anyone wants to tackle it I can get you a diagram with full layout of buildings, runways and harbors. One story you might like is that most of the men were tented at the end of the long runway and every morning at 4 am a B-52 would take off and fly 100 feet over there heads. He said after awhile he did not even notice it.

The stock Enewetak Atoll in FSX is just some trees and a standard hard runway.
