Upper Heyford was unique among bases in the United Kingdom as only the flight-line area required military identification to access. The rest of the base, save the commercial facilities, was accessible to military and nonmilitary alike.
The Team SDB version of RAF Upper Heyford represents the air base in the 1980s/early 1990s when it was home to the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing (55th, 77th, 79th Tactical Fighter Squadrons) flying the General Dynamics F-111E.
The scenery consists of:
- Photo-real background texture of base
- The scenery is aligned with Horizon VFR Photographic Scenery
- Full complement of hangars and Hardened Aircraft Shelters
- Technical site and accommodations representative of the period
- Operational night lighting
- Dynamic night lighting in Prepar3D v4
- AI and static General Dynamics F-111E
- Visiting C-130s and C-141B
- The static aircraft and AI densities are scalable to suit most systems.

awesome. I lived nearby in the active days of the airfield and this is a great representation of how it used to be.
