File Description:
The town of Kotzebue is in the far northwest of Alaska, and served by Alaska Airlines. These are villages to the (mostly) east of Kotzebue on the South Slope of the Brooks Range of mountains, served by local flights from Kotzebue. There will be further additions. Kiana is a small village (population now around 360) on the bank of the Kobuk River, around 60 miles east of Kotzebue. The airfield, called Baker Memorial, is just north of the village, with 4,000 feet of lit gravel aligned 06-24 (as are several other runways in the area) with PAPI on 24. 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, Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again. The AI includes these flights along with Everts Air and Northern Air Cargo flights and GA. In real life the runway is around 200 yards closer to the village; this complicated the removal of roads and revised ground textures so I left it as is to make my life easier. The post includes missing night textures that were omitted from the post of Noatak PAWN. Noatak also has incorrectly installed original FS9 taxiway lights that were, as a result, impossible to remove. I had hoped to somehow manage it, but there is no way.

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 (not yet made). This is a continuation of the series for the flights from Kotzebue, 130 miles to the east to Ambler on the bank of the Kobuk River. The next additions will be a few miles further east, Shungnak and Kobuk, and a small strip just to the north of Kobuk. Ambler is a small village (population now around 260) beside the Kobuk River, the river being the reason for the existance of the village as it served (and still does) as both a source of food and a transport route. The airfield is just north of the village, with two runways, each around 3,500 feet of lit gravel and aligned 36-18 and 09-27, with PAPI on 36. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again. The AI includes these flights along with Everts Air and GA. There are revisions to Kotzbue to provide more parking.

Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel (not yet made). This is a continuation of the series for the flights from Kotzebue, 150 miles to the east where Shungnak is on the bank of the Kobuk River. The next addition will be a few miles further east, Kobuk and a strip just to the north of Kobuk. Shungnak is a small village, like Ambler, with a population of around 260 beside the Kobuk River, the river being the reason for the existance of the villages as it served (and still does) as both a source of food and a transport route. The airfield is just beside the village, with a runway around 4,000 feet of lit gravel and aligned 09-27, with PAPI on both ends. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Kotzebue and routing east to Ambler, Shungnak, Kobuk, and then back again.

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.

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 (not yet made). This is the first in a series for flights from Nome, and it is Shishmaref, 125 miles north of Nome on the far side of the Seward Peninsula.
Shishmaref is a village on one of a string of islands off the northern shore of the Seward Peninsula, with a population of around 560. Like other similarly-sited villages (Kivalina, for instance) it is feeling the effects of coastal erosion and there are plans for a relocation, eventually. The airfield is just beside the village, with a runway of just under 5,000 feet of lit asphalt aligned 05-23, with PAPI on both ends. There are scheduled flights by Era (now renamed Ravn) and by Bering Air, both of them originating in Nome. The AI includes these flights along with Everts Air and GA.

| Alaska North Slope 4: Lonely Air Force Station (AK71) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Lonely Air Force Station AK71 is 80 miles east of Barrow and on the coast. It was, and at first sight appears still to be, a DEW station until you are close enough to see that the gravel apron is deteriorating. There is a gravel runway around 5,000 feet long, a large hangar, the DEW buildings, radar under the domes, the remains of huge line-of-sight communications reflectors, and oil tanks. Some DEW sites are not worth a visit; others are surprisingly intact and this is one of those. The AI takes place three days a week and is a C130, in which case the DEW site is still functioning or under mothball maintenance, a chartered Reeve Aleutian in which case the site is closed and they are documenting wildlife, and a Cessna with a group of the curious.

| Fisher's Depot |
|
File Description:
Fisher's Depot Is located almost due West of Kodiak, Alaska. Fisher's is a cold storage facility for fishermen to drop off their catch. Pilots and truckers can pick the fish up on ice, for the fastest, freshest delivery of fish around. The strip is 2500', and there is a dock for seaplane pickup. Fisher's also offers a small little diner to eat at, and if you want to put your feet up and catch some sleep, there is a lounge with small rooms to grab 40 winks in. This scenery does show on the GPS/MAP, and is fully compatible with default, as well as FSFreeware mesh.

| Eagle's Nest #1 - Valdez |
|
File Description:
I originally made the Eagle's Nest series back in the summer of 2001. It consisted of 7 different airports scattered around the main cities of Alaska. Eagle's Nest #1 is located just about halfway between Valdez and Gulkana. Nest #1 as a small dirt strip stashed away in amongst some woods. There are two cabins there, with one having its own hangar. There is also a dock on the lake for our floatplane visitors.

| McCord's Landing |
|
File Description:
McCord's Landing is a small 1000' dirt strip located on Kodiak Island. This is a land strip only, and has no lake facilities. There is water nearby if you choose to hike to the cabins. At McCord's cabin, there is a radio for emergencies. Watch your approaches from either direction, as there are some good size trees that make it a little tight. Have fun. Tight bush is back!

| Nome PAOM on the northwestern coast of Alaska |

File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 200 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. The town of Nome is south of the Bering Strait on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula, around 185 miles south of Kotzebue, with a population of about 3,800. It is the town that led to the creation of the most famous dogsledge race in the world, the Iditarod, which is based on the delivery to Nome of diphtheria serum during the blizzard conditions of the winter of 1925. The Nome airport (it currently has no other name) was originally built as the last of the refuelling airfields for planes being ferried to Russia during WW2. It has two runways, aligned 09-27 and 02-20 in FS9 (the wandering magnetic north has recently renamed the magnetic headings) and both of them around 6,000 feet with an ILS on 27. There is a modern airport layout diagram included showing taxiway names etc. Alaska Airlines, ERA, and Bering Air (which is headquartered in Nome), along with the shared cargo terminal for Northern Air Cargo and Everts Air, are all on the southern apron. The northern apron is mainly for GA, along with maintenance facilities, a garage building that also houses a weather bureau, and at the far northern end of runway 02-20 an apron and hanger for the Alaska Air National Guard. All AI aircraft in FS9 much prefer to use a runway that has an ILS and so will continue to use 09-27 even if the wind is from the north or south, right up until it reaches 30+ knots, so for AI realism in FS9 a permanent wind from the west would be the most realistic on a daily basis. There is also a small gravel strip just north of the town and this is included (94Z), as are some old line-of-sight radio communication reflectors on the hills above the town. There is a note about making adjustments to Ultimate Terrain Alaska-Canada regarding both realistic road lighting and also auto-generation.
