File Description:
This is the second in a series of airfields that follow that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there are Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvik, and Fort McPherson, all posted. Fort Good Hope is at 268 feet ASL and on the east bank of the Mackenzie, 180 miles southeast of Fort McPherson and 100 miles west of Great Bear Lake. The town has a population of around 560, and the main sources of income are from the traditional trapping and hunting. The airport is a mile south of the town, and has almost 4,000 feet of gravel runway. There are scheduled flights to the town by North Wright; I also have two AI GA flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field.
