Hi, Juan.
Look at Google Earth's timeline slider. It has some low resolution aerial photos listed as far back as 1956, 1961 and 1979. Not really photos of the terminal per se but maybe they can add some hints for layout, etc. Some of the later photos are better resolution and may help with referencing since the changes seem to be pretty evident.

Hi ! Thanks for the suggestion Jesse, I'll check it and make any correction if necessary, meanwhile I build one based on the current picture, not bad at all.. Here's the updated pic of KCRP...minimum tweaks to do.  BTW, take a look at this....based on pictures and postcards I created this dirty parking spots, just like in the old days!.......they will be included on every single airport.....hope you enjoy them   |

Hi,
Looks great. But turn on aircraft shadows and make sure they look OK there too.
Thanks,

Tyler looks great, Juan. You seem to be really gettin' on down the road with this project.
Like those apron textures.

Hi Jesse, Well I do the best I can...most of the Tyler textures were taken from pictures, specially the windows and the roof edges....that gives a good visual effect. by the way...Austin Mueller suffered a little update and was merged into all this...now we have a transparent tower cab and a reworked terminal...nothing major but I saw an early 60's image last week and realized it had an "open" section just in the middle of the building..with a tree inside.....can you confirm it Jesse?  |

Hi All! Here's the next airport...Amarillo AFB / English Field, hope you enjoy them Overview of main terminal building and ramp....apron space was too reduced that there's only space to accommodate 4 aircraft, including TWA's L-1049G..  Former hangars and USAF Headquarters complex at the east side, they're now configured to receive cargo planes and GA traffic , what you see on the bottom of the plane is ground equipment cleaning the remains from the old runways...  general airport overview, at the middle-right side we have the new SAC hangars....pending to place some equipment/lights there.  I noticed that there's no MATS traffic flying along KAUS, KAMA, KHRL and KLRD....since these airports are going to be backdated as their former AFB status, I'm planning to make a simple traffic file, using some of the MATS traffic liveries, just to populate these AFB's of MATS and USAF aircraft....  Next target: Galveston Scholes field.. |

Hello, Juan. Hope you are doing well.
Any news on this project? Very anxious to see more of your fine work.
I've been building a lot of seniority with TTA and look forward to bidding on some new routes. :-))
