Peter O. Knight is an airport on Davis Islands, five minutes (3 NM or 5.6 km or 3.5 mi) from downtown Tampa, Florida. Built as a Works Progress Administration project, it was Tampa’s main airport from 1935 to 1945, and is still used by general aviation operators today because of its proximity to the central city.
The airport was named for prominent attorney and businessman Peter O. Knight, namesake of Holland & Knight. The airport’s original administration building was torn down in the 1960s, and replaced by the current building. Although seaplanes aren’t quite as popular anymore,
the basin is still there at Davis Islands

Airport is fine, the yacht club is nicely done and the terminal and other buildings are fine. However, there are three helicopter parking spots featured very prominently near the terminal. I bought this scenery specifically to use those helicopter parking spots. They are not in the scenery as a parking spot so they can't be selected to start from in MSFS. This is kind of annoying.
I do not understand why the developer would leave them out and it is the entire reason I bought the scenery. But other people probably won't care about that so I will say this is definitely worth the $10.
