Hanscom Field is pretty accurate as I've been there a number of times

for airshows and was able to pull out some photos to work from.

Thanks to pilot Peter James I was also able to get some aerial photos

of the field which helped make it even more accurate.  Hanscom is a

mixed use field as it is shared by Hanscom A.F.B. and private users.

The mode provided for Hanscom parks you in front of the main terminal

building.  The Air Force has no planes based here, but military

planes do make visits for electronics outfitting.  The Raytheon

building, one of the companies that works closely with the Air Force,

is visible across the runway as a large gray building.


Important Scenery Locations (Flight Simulator Coordinates)

----------------------------------------------------------


Hanscom Tower: 18020.7149 N

21821.7618 E


Needham TV Towers: 17950 N

21858 E


Marlboro Airport: 17962.0391 N

21774.4922 E


Shaker Hill NDB (251): 18024.4743 N

21857.1158 E


BEDDS NDB (332): 18020.0253 N

21789.0356 E


The Needham towers are included as they make a terrific landmark; at

about 1200 feet high they can be seen from all over.  They are located

at the intersection of Routes 9 and 128.  Marlboro airport is included

as it's missing from SD-12.  It's actually just outside the radius set

for Hanscom but is needed to link properly with my Marlboro centered

scenery as FS doesn't switch to the Marlboro file until it's too late.

The two NDB's were added as they are required for instrument approaches.

The Hanscom ATIS on 124.6 has also been added using SEE02 by Laemming

Wheeler.


See if you can find the radar dish atop Prospect Hill in Waltham.  It's

right along side of Rt. 128 south of the airport.  This item required

SEE02 and some levitation tricks.

WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED in 1874

  AWAKEN                                                     Issue #33   1874 - WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA        HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED THEN.   This issue will comprise mainly of quotes from Watch Tower publications. Present day Jehovah's Witnesses are unlikely to be aware of any of this material. Why ? The Watch Tower had changed it's theology and does not bother to let it's followers know facts about the past especially since the present theology is totally contradictory to what was promoted in the past. Both sets of incompatible conjectures were promoted as being found  and proven in Scriptures. Prior to 1943 if a follower of the Watch Tower questioned any of the Watch Tower's teaching about 1874, that person risked getting kicked out of the group ...
