Emu field and nuclear test site was established in the 1950s to conduct controversial "Totem" series atomic bomb tests.
This scenery depicts Emu test site after abandonment and prior to removal in the late 60s.
The P 51 Mustangs in this scenery were actually surplus RAAF aircraft but I was unable to source P51s in RAAF colours. The Emu Mustangs were retrieved in the 70s by collectors and most were restored to flying condition even after 30 years in the desert
Nothing much remains of the site today except concrete markers
IMPORTANT: To make this scenery work properly you must have downloaded and installed to your community folder the following excellent object libraries available at flightsim.to :
Thanks to these contributors for making my scenery come to life!

Thanks smoothflyer. Appreciate the video and your comments. This was one of my earlier works and I was still learning (still am for that matter!) Hope you enjoy some of my other airfields too.
Cheers

So we'd need to install those couple of libraries ─ or are the models integrated in your scenery file?

Affirmative. The scenery will work without those libraries but a number of objects won't. Cheers and safe flying!

Yeah... " Nuclear Test Site"... We all know what this was, the great Emu war part II this time with nukes, and it still did not work. We know what you are up to Aussies!

Quite right! The great emu war was a failure and although I made this scenery I'm aware of the unnecessary human and environmental damage the "totem" tests caused. Not to mention the poor emus!
