Orbx Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This one is special for us here at Orbx. We're pleased to announce that YMEN Essendon Airport is now available for X-Plane 11. Established in 1921, Essendon Airport is Australia's second oldest international airport after Sydney and marks its centenary this year. Now known as Essendon Fields Airport, it plays a very important role in the aviation sector for Victoria and hosts a large mix of non-aviation-related businesses. It is also the home to the Australian headquarters for Orbx. Originally called St Johns Airfield and then Essendon Aerodrome, the airport played an important role in Australia’s growing civil aviation industry as well as defense operations during WWII. $22.72 AUD Sales tax will be calculated at checkout where applicable.
