File Description:
Hall Beach is on the Melville Peninsula, part of the mainland of Canada, south and west of Baffin Island. It is around 40 miles south of Igloolik and 50 miles west of Rowley, both of them my previous posts. The airfield was built to support the construction and operation of a main DEW line radar station and to support the rest of the associated chain. Because of the employment opportunities this brought, a village developed nearby. The airfield continues in regular use and the runway, though still gravel, is 5,400' long and 150' wide and lighted; the alignment is 124T and 304T as this is in northern domestic airspace and bearings are given as 'true" and not "magnetic". There are scenery folders for the village, roads, grass, etc, and AI for two airlines with regular service to Hall Beach.
