You've got LAX also? How about some IND-LAX flight setups? Late 70s/early 80s, TWA flights 22/189 with an L-1011??? It was a weird tag-on that operated LAX-DAY as flight 22, DAY-IND with dual flight numbers 22 and 189, and IND back to LAX as 189. @Purpleplane

There has not been direct service from IND to CVG since DL closed the hub. I think that was way before 2021 anyway. Is there enough similarity in the airport layout that it could pass for an earlier era?

US had DCA right up to the end, I think.

Yes, CVG had service from IND with AA and DL (and I believe TW at one point also). DL used DC-9s at one point, and also 727s and MD-80s.

Anyone modeling an airport with nonstop service to/from IND, let's talk about partnering up to show both ends of a specific flight! @Purpleplane

If you ever do an airport that has nonstop service from IND, please contact @Purpleplane about teaming up to show the aircraft movements and activity surrounding each end of a specific flight!

I was able to replicate all of the jetways at IND using either the GJ "long" or "short" versions, adjusting them to fit. I did make some extensions for some, from the terminal to the pivot point. I got really lucky I suppose. But Andrew should be able to fix you up just right. He already does...

Have you reached out to Andrew Roeske of Tarmac Designs? He may do as he did for me and offer you a free print in exchange for the rights to the design to be added to the product line.

The black spots are walkways to access the equipment. I had a couple of places on IND where I had to install those. I did mine using decals. Apparently the type of roof material used on these buildings can't be walked on directly.

Idea for you and @Purpleplane ... why don't you team up to show the situation surrounding each end of a specific PHL-IND flight? Agree on a specific date, flight number, and tail number (assuming you each have the same model in your collection)... then set up your terminal with whatever activity...

Awesome. @Purpleplane has reference photos of GSE at IND if he would like to review them. Also, the fuel trucks seem undersized. The "narrowbody" version seems to be more appropriate for general aviation, and even the "widebody" one is smaller than what is used here. What's needed is a straight...

Looks great! Any chance of releases in other colors? Southwest mustard and canyon blue, Northwest and AirTran gray, Eastern light blue, TWA red, AA (and ATA) dark blue.... and maybe Ozark orange???

Probably not, the -100s didn't fly in here.

Republic MD-80s are BADLY needed for the Retro Indy project. Both color schemes!

Please keep @Purpleplane and me updated on what you come up with for GSE. You're modeling a similar era and type of airport that we are and there will likely be considerable overlap in our needs. We're having a lot of difficulty finding exactly what we want, according to our photo references and...
