Author's note
As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. FBO's has changed a lot this last years at Thermal: Desert Jet Center Landmark, Ross Aviation, Thermal Aviation Self-serve, Signature... and I wanted to keep all these names although it's not anymore as real as it get, today Sept'22. Let me know what you think.

In real, I'm a Plus One Flyers member and mostly fly from Montgomery Field (KMYF). I'm real PPL, but a rookie amateur scenery developer: this mod is made with 99% of MSFS default objects library and feature massive number of details. The scenery is inspired by aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It's a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. I did my best based on online video and online pictures.

900+ objects have been added to the default scenery to make in more live and bring a touch of an active area. If you have local pictures to help being more accurate, let me know!
