Retro Sioux Falls Airport

[JJ Skippy]

The next Retro FSD airport update is now available. Unfortunately I'm going to have to shelve my second airport update for this month, as the model I hinted at previously won't be arriving; the order "failed". The air service history video will still be published later this month.

Another Retro FSD update has been uploaded as of this past week. Check it out here:

Today I added a wonderful model to my collection in this North Central DC-9-30 by Netmodels. It’s my first model from this manufacturer; they made over 400 models between 2002 and 2012 based on DiMA records. I found this model on eBay, as has been the case for most of my Retro FSD acquisitions.


This model has inspired me to revisit my 1979 update project. However, North Central did not fly this type into FSD at this time; they flew the Convair 580s.

The next Retro FSD update is now live; we’re going to 1968 for this update, thanks in part for two acquisitions I made during Airliners International 2024.

It's been quite the absence from this project due to a lack of new acquisitions and already covering what I can with my existing fleet. But that changes today thanks to a new arrival in this Western 720 by Aeroclassics.


Departedflights reports this bird on the FSD flight board in 1975 and is the latest documentation I could find of this type at FSD. These were the biggest passenger jets scheduled on commercial flights and at that time they flew to and from Denver. I have seen them on the flight board in the late 60s too so an older Indianhead livery one would be great to add as well.
