File Description:
These are two airfields in northern Canada, serving two mining operations. The furthest north is Hope Bay CHB3 in Nunavut. It is in a sheltered inlet less than 3 miles from the northern mainland coast and around 65 miles southwest of Cambridge Bay. The owner is Hope Bay Mining Ltd, and their operation mines gold out of a tunnel rather than open cast. The airfield is incorporated into the road that leads north to the sea; traffic is halted by traffic lights when a flight is expected. The runway is 3,000 feet of gravel aligned 01-19 and with PAPI at both ends. The second airfield serves the Ekati diamond mine and is some 265 miles southwest of Hope Bay, in the Northwest Territories. Ekati was the first Canadian diamond mine and is 195 miles northeast of Yellowknife and less than 20 miles north of a later mine, Diavik (by Sid and Pete). CYOA reflects the relative value of the two mining operations and is far better equipped than Hope Bay. It can be described as an airport while Hope Bay remains an airfield. The runway is 6,400 feet of gravel aligned 36-18 with PAPI and strobe approach lights at both ends. The scale of the mining operation can only be described as huge.

Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 737-300 'LN-KKN' Sigrid Undset

File Description:
Norwegian Air Shuttle is a low-cost carrier based in Oslo, Norway. And flies both domestic and International services, to a number of European destinations including London (Stansted), Paris (Beauvais), Warsaw, Dubrovnik, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin, and more aswell as Bergen, Trondheim, Tromso, Alta, Evenes, Stavanger and many more on the domestic side of things. I myself had the privilege to fly on Norwegian on the 10th of July 2005, flight DY1306 from Oslo to London Stansted, after my first visit to Norway. The aircraft I flew on was this one, LN-KKN with the 'Sigrid Undset' tail, which is why I chose that particular aircraft to paint. I have changed the lights configuration, now with more realistic strobe and navigation lights, and I have also included smoke effects which you should activate by pressing your 'I' key. (Or whatever you have set for smoke effects in your key assignments). Model by FFX included, with default panel and sound. Enjoy!
