| Tuktoyaktuk CYUB in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Tuktoyaktuk is on the northern coast of Canada, 70 miles north of Inuvik and to the east of the Mackenzie River delta. It has a population of around 900 and because of its natural harbour is a centre for oil exploration activity on the surrounding land and on the Beaufort Sea, with sizeable but now under-used yards dating back to the peak of activity in the late 1970's. On land work is restricted to the winter half of the year, as only the freeze-up makes it possible to move on land with heavy equipment, and during the winter further supples are driven over an ice road from Inuvik up to Tuk. The ice-free summer months are used for floating equipment from Yuk along the coast on barges and then up the rivers to inland sites in preparation for the winter activity. Before the oil there was a DEW line station here, and there is still an automated station on the same site and included here, as are the yards. The airfield is on the coast close to the town and the yards, at 15' ASL. The gravel runway 09/27 is 5,000' feet long and 150' wide; both thresholds are displaced by 200', but of course there are no markings on the gravel. The large apron is on the north side at the centre of the runway and is large enough to accomodate several large planes. Inuvik revised should be installed first, now Tuk, then last of the three Sachs Harbour which has AI for Aklak Airlines flights (operated by Kenn Borek) for all three airfields. There is a separate AI file included here, featuring freight delivery by Buffalo Airways and small planes.

| Silver City CFQ5 in Yukon Territory Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Silver City is a ghost town in the Yukon Territory, Canada, amid the Rocky Mountains and around 35 miles northwest of Haines Junction. It is on the southern end of Kluane Lake and in the Kluane National Park and this probably explains it's (minimal) survival after what appears to have been the shutdown of mining for silver. There is little information readily available. The date of this scenery is, as usual, around 2010. There was no recent regular service by Yukon Air North or any other airline, and the primary user of the airfield adjacent to the lake is a company called Icefield Discovery Tours. Their activity is probably very similar to the company at Haines Junction and involves trips to the National Park amid mountains and glaciers. There is also another organisation at the airfield, the Kluane Lake Research Station of the Arctic Institute. They have four buildings there but it is unclear how much aerial activity they generate, or if in fact they fly at all for their work. The runway is 3,000 feet of unlit gravel, aligned north-south. This post will be followed by Burwash, which is at the far northwestern end of the lake. There is no video of the Silver City airfield on Youtube, and it is not the most exciting airfield in the world, but the location is enough in real life for a visit to be made. On YouTube there is a series of posts by Angle of Attack showing the preparation and then the flight of an old Cessna 172 from Homer to Oshkosh for the installation of modern instruments. Interesting for me as they visit or fly over airfields I have made: Homer, Merrill, Tok Junction, Burwash, Silver City, Haines Junction, Watson Lake, Fort Nelson, and Grande Prairie. But they fly in the winter so it all looks very different.

| Kuujjuarapik CYGW in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kuujjuarapik is in northern Quebec at the southern end of Hudson Bay, 90 miles east of James Bay and on the north shore of the Great Whale River; Kuujjuarapik means Small Great River in Inuktitut. Once again the Hudson Bay trading post that opened (in 1820) was the catalyst for the establishment of first a seasonal encampment and then the beginnings of a town in the late 1930's.
The two adjacent villages that now form the town have a total population (mainly Cree and Inuit) of around 1,500. When the Quebec hydo-electric project was under construction in the early 1980's a large portion of the Inuit population voted to move to a new settlement called Umiujaq (my post) 100 miles to the north.
The airport is to the west of the town, between the town and the sea. The gravel and sand runway (which I have made as gravel as there is no convincing way to mix the two) is 5,500 feet long, 150 feet wide, and aligned 17/35, which is approximately parallel to the coast. There is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA, delivered by truck. The AI included here is for Air Inuit and Wasaya, with Air Inuit making three flights per day plus a fourth flight by the Air Inuit Twotter C-GNDO that is based at the airport, and private flights by various aircraft. Yes, there really is a golf course to the south of the airport, and the last thing to note is that Kuujjuarapik has a mandatory radio frequency and that taking into consideration the scheduled flights I have included the tower radio frequency that makes this a controlled airport in FS9.

| Puntzi Mountain CYPU in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Puntzi Mountain is near a village called Chilanko Forks, approximately midway between Bella Coola and Williams Lake and just north of the Chilcotin to Bella Coola Highway. It is what remains of a military base and which currently shows in FS9 as a town, reduced in my scenery version to what remains after the base was closed and cleared. All that remains of the base is now the runway, over 6,000 feet of asphalt aligned 04-22, unlit, at 2,985 feet above sea level, and with centre line markings that are almost invisible. The runway is used in the summer for whatever local fire-fighting operations are needed by ConAir and there are some buildings and fuel tanks for this. It is also used for local flights such as those for a lodge on Puntzi Lake to the north. I have added three AT-802 textures with additional tail numbers for use in the AI. These are to be added to an aircraft that you very likely already have and which was included in Don Grovestine's posting of Abbotsford CYXX. I have also included the revised config file that adds the planes to Don's original; save the original config under another name and replace it with mine. Put the three new texture folders in with the original, which is called "CYXX-AI_Air Tractor AT-802 (Wheels)". If you do not have Don's scenery I suggest you get it, as his work is worth having and like Greg Putz he puts in a lot more effort than I do. The L188 Electra should already be with you if you downloaded my Smithers CYYD scenery. If you find a defect, email me.

| Schefferville CYKL & Squaw Lake CSZ9 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Schefferville is a town in an area of Quebec that is surrounded by Labrador, the border taking an unusual wriggly course instead of the normal Canadian straight line. One has to presume that there was a lot of political negotiation involved. Take a look at Google Earth to see what I mean. The town was established in 1954 (initially at a site a bit north of the present location, and with a different name) to support newly established iron ore mining. To assist with the exploration for further iron ore and the construction of the railway it seems that there was a forced relocation of native population. Although iron ore mining around Schefferville in its current location flourished through the late 1960's these relocated folk were neglected and suffered "destitute poverty". Through the 1970's iron ore mining declined and ceased in Schefferville in 1982, when most of the 4,000 or so non-native residents left. Since the year 2000 there have been moves to reopen mining in the area and production restarted in 2011, the approximate date of this scenery. The main reason why iron ore mining started again in Schefferville as opposed to any other area in Quebec or Labrador is the existing railway, used for ore transportation. There is no road connection and the airport is the only other means of access for the 250(?) town inhabitants. This population figure is somewhat of a guess, and the town inhabitants are largely company officers who change and move in and out as required by their work. Schefferville airport is to the east of the town. It has a single lit asphalt runway that is aligned 18-36 and is 4,975 feet long and 150 feet wide, with PAPI at both ends. Air Inuit flights connect with Kuujjuaq to the north and Sept-Isles to the south with onward connections to all parts of Canada. There are other charter flights for company personnel. The terminal building has been renovated and the photos show just how dilapidated it had become before this was done. I like it. This scenery also includes Squaw Lake, a float base that is used by Air Saguenay. Or was, as the company was closed in 2019 after an accident involving several deaths. The reason for Air Saguenay establishing a float base here was, once again, the railway, which allowed people to reach Schefferville for a reasonable cost. They could then use the float planes for a shorter distance and reasonable price to reach fishing lodges on the lakes to the north. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Tlingit Air Fleet |
|
File Description:
A pair of DHC-2s of different style and an Aviat Husky comprising the Fleet of Tlingit Air.
Tlingit Air is a "fantasy" air service simular to Taquan Air (real World) based at Ketchekan,
AK. Tlingit Air with its main office in North Whale serves Prince of Whales Island communities
as well as most of the Ketchekan - Petersburg - Sitka - Klawock area. While they do fly
charter, the primary business is Air Taxi and freight.
These three aircraft are textures only... you will need Steven Grant's Aviat Husky Float (or
really any of the three that might suit you - or all three if you prefer) Steven Grant's
DHC2-v2 (again, this texture should work for all versions) and John Woodward's DHC-2 (I am
assuming it would be fine for both - though I only use the float version)

| Hawaii Pacific Air ATL.98 Carvair |
|
File Description:
These textures represent Aviation Traders' ATL.98 Carvair #20 N5459X and #21 N5459M in the livery of Hawaii Pacific Air. Hawaii Pacific Air owned them only less than 2 years (mid 1990-early 1992) after which they were stored at Honolulu, HI, for over 3 years. They moved ownership several times before Airline Marketing Consultants bought them with the aim to ferry them to South Africa. This whole time they retained their Hawaii Pacific Air colours. In the end only N5459M moved to South Africa where, registered 9J-PAA, she is still airworthy, flying for Phoebus Apollo. N5459X stayed in North America. She, too, is still airworthy, flying for Brooks Fuel as N898AT. These are textures only. You will require Jon Walton's freeware Aviation Traders ATL.98 Carvair (jwat98.zip or jwat98_2k2.zip). Repaints, based on Jon Walton's original textures, by Maarten Brouwer.

| SPAD VII James Child |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint (textures only) for the SPAD VII 1916 by Stuart Green. You can get it here: http://www.domicilium.com/peveril/hangar/planes/SPAD_VII.htm
Thank you Stuart for this beautifully crafted plane!
This texture represnts the SPAD VII B.1537 of Lt James M Child, No 19 Sqn, May 1917. In late April 1917, the black dumb-bell was replaced on No 19 Sqn SPADs by blue, white and red bands and wheel discs in a attempt to facilitate better identification in the air. Child used B.1537 to destroy an Albatross two-seater north-west of Douai on 27 April and to send a Albatross DIII down out of control west of Douai on 25 May. His final tally of eight included three kills is SPADs and five in SE 5a's with No 84 Sqn.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #6 Nixon CNX8 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the sixth in a series of small airfields in southern Ontario Canada, Nixon CNX8, an airfield 20 miles south of Brantford and 10 miles north of Lake Erie, just west of the small town of Simcoe. It was not included in FS9 as it did not exist then; I do not know when it was first registered, but it was prior to April 2010 (the date of the oldest copy of the Canada Flight Supplement that I have with me). The airfield has a grass runway of 2,800 feet aligned 12/30, unlit. The owner has a small crop-spraying business, and there are also hangars rented to local plane owners. Fuel and oil is available.
This scenery post is not necessarily complete in itself and presumes you are adding it to the series of Ontario Small Fields.

Comb Ridge, Rock Point (49AZ), Utah/Arizona, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
This scenery extends my Monument Valley scenery to the east. It covers the area between the San Juan River in the north down to Rock Point, AZ (49AZ). Most of the scenery lies on the Navajo Nation Reservation. It completes the southeastern corner of Utah and paves our way into Colorado.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_South3West6.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. Thanks to Joop Mak for providing custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Olivier, Kevin and Ruben.
