File Description:
Old Crow is in the far north of the Yukon Territory, Canada, 115 miles south of the nearest coastline and 30 miles east of the border with Alaska. The town has a population of less than 300 and the population are reliant on the caribou migration for an annual food supply replenishment. The fact that it is the only Yukon town that cannot be reached by car makes the airport important, and there are regular flights by Air North, the Yukon airline. They are included in the AI along with GA aircraft. I had several tries at matching up the Hawker Siddeley 748 with the right set of textures and I have included both here so that you do not have to go through the same torture. Thanks go to Hernan for sorting all that out, and for his textures. The airport is beside the town that is built along a bank of the Porcupine River. I have replicated the current shore line of the river that has cut a new channel at one end of the town, and I flattened the river as it was somewhat mountainous. The runway is gravel and just over 5,000 feet long, aligned 03-21. The terminal building is specific to Old Crow as I had photos, but the hangars are approximations and the village houses are only representational.
