Hello everyone!
I've filled a list of Aircraft Manufacturers Airport,
Personally I do like to take-off from the airports where the Aircrafts are built, ( at least when I buy a new one, the first flight starts
always from the real world location of the manufacturer).

The list is not complete, suggestions are welcome, only the bigger manufacturers are enclosed,
Happy landings !!!

Many thanks for having established such a list. Interesting to compare the airfields with those I use with classic FS9. In some cases manufacturers changed locations in the Sixties. Therefore it might sometimes be difficult to evaluate where specific models have finally be built. Especially by Soviet manufacturers. I just found out, that several Antonov's like the AN-10 have been assembled at Kiev Svyatoshyn, an airfield which doesn't exist MSFS's. Flight tests where then performed
at nearby Zhuliany. At least with early models.

Mergers of a lot of companies don't make the overview more simple, BTW.

Thank you to all,
my research will continue and I'll add more data in the next
revision, the main difficult is to find accurate information
about specific building programs. For example, big companies
like Boeing, Douglas or Lokheed can have had many assembly plants since the beginning of their activity, each of them for
a special aircraft.
The same during the 2nd WW, specially in Europe.

UKKT (Svyatoshyn or Antonov) and two other Kiev airports + photo scenery (freeware) for FSX and P3D can be found here:

I found yet another Kiev airport UKKM which is also said to be owned by Antonov here:

I'm making an updated list with more airports and I'll add this one.
Thank you

You are right. Svyatoshyn was the first location at Kiev. Probably due to the quite short runway,
Zhuliany UKKK was used for test flights. In 1959 began the construction of Kiev Hostomel UKKM what is also known as Antonov Airport and owned by the company. It's certain that this location is used with the very big aircraft like the AN-225. But finally that might be some peanuts.

As I said before, my sim world is in the Sixties and since a lot has changed. It would be even more complicated to create such a list with pre-war manufacturers:untroubled:

Apparently Sikorsky perform some of their test flights from William P Gwinn Airport - 06FA, West Palm Beach, FL. They are currently testing the Sikorsky–Boeing SB-1 Defiant there.

Hello !
I've largely updated the list, now revision 1.1, far more complete and detailed data.
I've figured out that looking for accurate information is like to find the exit into a labyrinth :banghead:
(or to aseembly a puzzle depicting an image of the sky!).
Anyway, if someone is interested about US WW2 Aircraft factories locations this could be nice : http://acepilots.com/planes/factory.html

Happy landings !

NOTE 1 : No helicopters firms are enclosed (only Aircraft)
NOTE 2 : May be I'll make a new revision even if this one IMHO is quite complete for simmers purposes :adoration:
