Warsaw Airports 2009: EPBC Babice is a highly detailed scenery of the general aviation airport located 10km north west of the downtown of Warsaw, Poland. This scenery is a part of Warsaw Airports 2009 package and is designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. EPBC Babice is a payware scenery however there is a fully functional demo scenery provided that you can use for any online and multiplayer flying.
Airport history:
EPBC Babice used to be a military facility. Before 1918 it was occupated by Russian and German air forces. In 1918 the Institute of Aviation Research was established (later it became Technical Aviation Institute). During the World War II the field was probably used as a grass strip. After the war the aerodrome was taken over by Polish military and a large military base was created. The facility did not appear on Warsaw maps until late 70s. The military base had two concrete runways used by varios jet aircrafts and fighters. One of them is still partly used (1.3km from a total lenght of 2.5km) and the other one became a Powstancow Slaskich street (it was 2km long).
EPBC Babice aerodrome is currently serving mainly Warsaw Aeroclub, Air Rescue and some executive air taxi companies. The airport has one concrete and one grass runway. The concrete runway is available for night operations. Babice is recognised as a quite dangerous aerodrome due to its localization - its in a very centre of the city and there were lately some tragic accidents. There are some plans to demolish the airport and make a residential area instead.
