Taking to their official Facebook page, Airbus add-on developer JARDesign has decided to share some additional previews of their upcoming Airbus A340-500 aircraft add-on for X-Plane.

Serving as a successor to the previously developed Airbus A340-200 aircraft, the Airbus A340-500 series first flew on February 11th, 2002 and, until the introduction of the Boeing 77-200LR, was considered the world’s longest-range commercial airliner. The aircraft boasts an impressive range of 9’000 nautical miles and, until recently, most famously served as Singapore Airline’s aircraft of choice for their SQ21 & SQ22 non-stop services between New York Newark and Singapore Changi. Although an impressive airliner for sure, few remain in service today, with the only airframes still in active commercial use flying for Azerbaijani national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines.

NZA Simulations, known for their highly immersive renditions of iconic Australian and New Zealand airfields, have recently provided keen MSFS fans with previews of their upcoming Hobart Airport package, set to include both Hobart International Airport (YMHB) and Cambridge Aerodrome (YCBG).

Historically, aviation took roots in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, with the historic Cambridge Aerodrome (YCBG) opening back in the year 1920. The airfield continued to serve as Tasmania’s main port of entry for close to three decades but eventually was replaced by the current Hobart International Airport (YMHB) in 1956.
