[GreenKeys] Kennedy TTY Traffic Re-creation for ITTY? on nov 22 ? Just a ...

[Javier Albinarrate]

Folks,

I like this idea a lot.
Regarding the sources...

For HeavyMetal v3.1 I actually made an archive section with some text 
recovered from multiple sources.
In HM it is available directly from the menu but you can of course 
access the files directly.
Check it out.

These are historically quite correct, and extremely fancy to play (I do 
at the museum from time to time).
However they have slight variations from the originals, to ensure that 
if somebody prints these and tries to sell them as authentic, it would 
be possible to identify them.

Regards!
Javier
