London Heathrow is one of the best known airports in the world. In 2023 it was the 4th busiest airport in the world and sees flights from every corner of the globe. It is home to a greater variety of aircraft and airlines than perhaps any other airport. Not only does it have a reputation known beyond the aviation industry, it also has a very rich history. Aircraft like the 707, 747, Concorde and A380 have been regular sights at Heathrow throughout the years. If you've got a plane and a destination in mind, chances are you can take a flight there from Heathrow.
This is an open source scenery. It is currently in beta and is not fully complete. Contributions from the community help make this scenery live up to it's best potential. If you have some experience creating sceneries you can click here to see how you can contribute to this project. Tasks range from beginner friendly to more complex modeling and texturing and there is something available for everyone.
