KATT Austin Mueller Municipal Airport Circa 1961 FS2004. By Juan Antonio Martinez A little of history. Robert Mueller Municipal Airport served the Austin, Tx. area since mid 1930s, on 1960 the airport opened its new jet age passenger terminal to replace a much older building. At the inauguration date, it had a total of 5 gates, a fence gate to go through to board the aircraft, observation deck and much modern building hosting all facilities such as ticketing area, baggage claims, restaurant and gift shop, but the most notable feature of the building, was the control tower, a graceful, curved structure paneled in blue & white, with the cab at the top. the principal air carriers serving Austin were Braniff, Continental & Trans Texas During the 1970s, Austins municipal airport became crowded

After its closure, Mueller Airport area has been re-developed as a neighborhood complex, some hangars and few pieces of the runways and taxiways are still there, rest of the passenger terminal was demolished, except the control tower, which will be kept as a memorial to the airport. I have produced this scenery to represent Austin Mueller Airport on its very early days as a jet age terminal, based on postcards, photos and diagrams. I have included a custom made terminal building, control tower, fence boarding gate and entry monument, plus a detailed parking area, cargo area, general aviation hangars and terminals using a variety of library objects. Special Thanks to Tom Gibson and Jesse Cochran, for extensive coaching and test flying of this scenery.
