FS2004 Retro Scenery for NAS Chase Field, Texas (TX), USA. Originally opened as Beeville Municipal Airport, the land was leased from the Navy in 1943 for the construction of Chase Field, a training base for Naval Air Cadets and was one of three satellite airfields for Corpus Christi NAS. At the end of WWII the station was closed and re-purposed for various educational and local civic uses only to be reopened with the commencement of the Korean War in 1953. This resulted in a significant expansion of the original facilities and by the early 1980's Chase Field had a complement of 2500, along with over 160 aircraft. Finally BRAC'ed in 1991 the field was finally closed in 1993. Scenery contains custom objects as well as photo-realistic ground cover with provisions for appropriate aircraft. By John Stinstrom.
