File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which are serviced by Alaska Airlines, and from which local flights spread out. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. This series is for the flights from and around Kotzebue, mostly on the South Slope of the Brooks Range of mountains. There will be further additions. Selawik is a village (population now around 760) around 75 miles east of Kotzebue on three of the delta islands of the Selawik River where it flows into Selawik Lake. The delta forms part of the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge for migratory birds. The airfield is just next to the village, with two runways, 3,450 feet of lit gravel aligned 03-21 and 3,100 feet of gravel aligned 09-27. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Noorvik, Kiana, Selawik, etc, and then back again. The AI includes these flights along with Everts Air and GA.
