Description:
One of FIVE (count 'em) variations on this classic 1967 Top 50 hit - black vs. blue labels which could contain one of two B sides (either "Girl Without A Boy" or "I Fall In Love (All Over Again)" - no consistency. As near as I can figure GWAB is on the early pressings, and then was swapped in favor of the original B side from when a different mix/edit of the song was released locally on Pat Boone's Penthouse Productions label.) Blue label copies were made from a different master tape than the more common black label pressings, the blue having a longer running time, a quicker fade out, and slightly less compression - listen to the volume drop when the vocal starts. The black label variation is also availible for viewing here: the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55qp1MeNQTs if you want to watch.

Plum Islands small airfield (2B2) is situated near Newburyport, some 27 miles north of Boston along the Atlantic coast. The FSX version of it conveys the atmosphere of a small local field, often slumbering in the summer heat or laying deserted in the wintery cold. According to the Airnav pages aircraft operations average some 54 per week, so clearly not a busy airport, but instead the ideal companion for your VFR-loving GA aircraft!
FSAddons version for it is a native FSX title and tested under Windows XP and Vista, and with FSX SP1, SP2 and Acceleration. It includes the airfield itself with abundant detail up to and including the fields instructions hanging next to the entrance of the main building.
It also includes a wide area around the field including the town of Newburyport, the tidal flats from the river to the Atlantic, the beaches and the many holiday homes along the coast. This entire area is made using high-res aerial photos and painstakingly placed customized autogen houses and other objects.
Also included is a dedicated AI traffic file, a nice little manual in pdf format and last but not least a dedicated support forum on FSAddons web site.
The second best part of all this, next to the incredible detail and immersion the package brings you, is the price. Plum Island can be had for only $ 15, as an introductory price to the new series.
