Curiosity from the game
Beacon
The airport beacon, whose light range was 50 km, served to locate the airport in low visibility and at night. Pilots could easily find the airport and avoid any complications.
Tanker truck
The aircraft consumes a huge amount of fuel on its way. It needs to be refilled before the next departure. An important role in this was nearby Kněževes village, where the tankers went to refill.
