| Kindley Field Bermuda 1955-1962 |
|
File Description:
Kindley Field, on the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, was built as a joint RAF/USAAF facility during the Second World War. Subsequently the RAF area became the civilian terminal while Kindley Air Force Base was operated by the USAF between 1948 and 1970. It was primarily a staging post between the US and Western Europe for land-based planes unable to cross the Atlantic non-stop, very like Ernest Harmon in Newfoundland and the civilian Gander, and like Harmon it closed when the jet age made such bases redundant. Prior to that it hosted no combat units, but the 59th and then 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadrons, the 'Hurricane Hunters', were based there, and also from 1 February 1956 to 15 June 1963 the 303rd ARS Stratotankers were present to support Strategic Air Command and other refueling requirements. After 1970 it became a US Navy facility primarily concerned with tracking Soviet submarines, and was closed at the end of the Cold War. This scenery represents Kindley between 1955 and 1962 and has custom made scenery by Dan French and ai military traffic by Al Von Pingel to add to the downloadable California Classic civilian and MATS traffic available at Tom Gibson's site. Like Harmon and Gander, it was one of the most important airfields of its time.

| Haines Junction CYHT in Yukon Territory Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Haines Junction is a village in the Yukon Territory, Canada, amid the Rocky Mountains and around 80 miles west of Whitehorse. It is sited at the junction of the Haines Highway and the Alaska Highway, hence the name. The village was established in 1942 when the Alaska Highway was under construction, and the Haines Highway was built over the Chilkat Pass to connect to the town of Haines on the Alaska coast.
The date of this scenery is, as usual, around 2010. At that time there was a regular service (not always a daily one, depending on the time of year) by Yukon Air North, and in this case it is by an ATR 42-300. There is a helicopter company based at the airfield, Trans North Helicopters, and there is also Kluane Glacier Air Tours, which, as the name suggests, takes you to a glacier so you can stroll around on ice. And then brings you back. The gravel runway is 5,000 feet long and aligned 04-22, and is lit, with PAPI at both ends. Right hand circuits are required for runway 04 as the terrain is not flat.
This post will be followed by two other airfields to the northwest, Silver City and Burwash, both of which are on or close to the Alaska Highway.

| Fort Simpson CYFS in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson is the sixth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and Fort Simpson Island, all posted. Fort Simpson is at 555 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Liard River, close to Fort Simpson Island and where the Liard and the Mackenzie join up. The town of Fort Simpson is on an island, and has a population of 1,250 or so folks. The Hudson Bay trading post was established here in 1822. The new(er) Fort Simpson airport is just over seven miles south of the town, and has 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. It may be from the WW2 time, as it seems there was originally a second runway which has now totally disappeared, There are scheduled flights by First Air and Air Tindi, plus I have added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is a mandatory radio frequency which is for both CYFS and CET4 and in this case I have set the "tower" to "manned" so you will report position and obey instructions. There is fuel available. I have added the ferry at the crossing of the Liard River just south of the field.

| Alaska South Slope 11; Brevig Mission KTS |
|
Images related to this file:
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 fourth in a series for local flights from Nome, and it is on the coast around 50 miles east of Wales, and 60 miles northwest of Nome. There are two other airfields around a large lagoon that is almost totally enclosed from the sea, and Brevig Mission is on the northern shore, just 12 miles northeast of the already-posted Port Clarence. Brevig Mission has a populaton that has risen to 390 in recent years. Tollef Brevik was a Lutheran missionary who was both a pastor and teacher for the Inuit in the area from 1894 onward, travelling from community to community but based in Teller, 6 miles southeast. the village now called Brevig Mission was founded at a later date (unknown to me) and took his name. The airstrip is just east of the village, with two gravel runways; 11-29 which is 3,600 feet of gravel and 04-22 which is 2,600 feet and with PAPI on 22. The AI is the usual for this area, Bering and ERA with some GA and cargo by Everts.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #05 Pelee Island (CYPT) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the fifth in a series of small airfields in southern Ontario Canada, Pelee Island CYPT, an airfield on the island in Lake Erie and the southernmost airfield in Canada. The airfield has an asphalt runway of 3,300 feet, aligned 09/27 in FS9 while today in real life it is 10/28 due to the wandering magnetic pole. There is also a second runway, 36/18 and around 1,500 feet of gravel. There is a small terminal building which now has blue cladding; here it is still in the dirty yellow of the original colour scheme.
This version is based upon what appears to be a "lost" 2005 scenery of Pelee Island. When I started to make Pelee Island I discovered that in fact I already had a version installed; my memory can be excused, as I installed it in 2005. I modified the scenery to include parking, taxiways that connected, revised runway markings, new windsocks, new signage, larger apron, parked cars and planes, revised landclass, AI, etc. My intention was to instruct you to download and install the original and then incorporate my changes. Problem: it does not appear to exist for download; perhaps it was washed away when the Avsim site crashed. I have included it in this post. If anyone knows who made it please let me know.

| Sioux Lookout CYXL in northern Ontario, Canada, updated |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This greatly modifies my previous post of Sioux Lookout; it is stand-alone and does not require you to have the 2009 version. The AI provided with the post complements what was included with Dryden (March 2013). Sioux Lookout is in northern Ontario, 40 miles east of Dryden, and 145 miles northwest of Thunder Bay. The town is on the northeastern shore of a lake that I don't know the name of (I've been there, but has anyone COUNTED how many lakes Canada has?). It has a population of around 5,000. The main businesses are lumber, tourism, and health care. The airport is immediately adjacent to the northeastern corner of the town, and has 5,300' of asphalt which is aligned 16-34. There are two taxiways which curve and climb up to the apron which is 20 or 30 feet higher. When you taxi on them the knowledge that in reality you would be climbing makes sense of the curved routing. The apron is large and a mixture of asphalt and gravel. I did not make the terminal building and I have no photo or even a recollection of what it looks like, so you should first install Northwest Ontario Airports by Eric O'Link as he has a terminal building for CYXL that might be how it looks; some of his airfields collide with other and newer versions and I have kept only his CYXL and CYPL bgl's.

| RAF Upper Heyford EGUA 1955-1962 |
|
File Description:
EGUA RAF Upper Heyford 1955-1962
The airfield was originally built in 1918 by the Royal Air Force on land owned by New College Oxford, closed briefly after the end of the First World War and then re-opened in the 1920s. During the Second World War it was used by units of RAF Bomber Command but these were training rather than operational forces, even if aircraft of the 16th OTU (Operational Training Unit) may sometimes have taken part in bombing operations against the Third Reich. New runways were laid in 1942. During the Cold War Upper Heyford was chosen as one of the airfields used to operate bomber aircraft belonging to the US Strategic Air Command, and in 1950 the main runway was extended while new hardstandings were constructed for the bombers concerned. However, units were not stationed there permanently, but did Temporary Duty Assignments from their bases in the US. They included the 93rd Bomb Wing, 97th Air Refueling Squadron, 509th Air Refueling Squadron, 301st Bomb Wing, 8th Air Sea Rescue Squadron, 2nd Bomb Wing, 5th Bomb Wing Detachment, and the 22nd Bomb Wing. Aircraft included the B-50 Superfortress, (briefly) the B-36 Peacemaker, the B-47 and from 1960 the B-52. There were further significant developments after 1962 which fall outside the remit of this scenery, Upper Heyford being finally returned to the British Ministry of Defence in 1994 after the end of the Cold War.

File Description:
This airbase, located about 35 NM in the west of Munich (Bavaria, South Germany),
is the homebase of JaBoG32 riding the Tornado PA200. The German flight check
department GMFS, using C-47 in the early days and thereafter Hawker-Siddeley 748
as well as HS-125 for periodic recalibration of the radar- and navigational
equipment at civil and military airfields, was also on the base till 1994.
After the final decision was made not to establish commercial air traffic although
it had been discussed for a long time period, I reworked the airbase completely.
Among other objects, 38 hardened shelters for combat aircraft have been emplaced.
The included AI-Package contains: Lockheed F-104E GAF, Panavia Tornado PA200 GAF,
Mikoyan MiG-29 GAF, Douglas C-47 GAF, Canberra B.20 GAF, Boeing E3A Nato, Boeing
KC-135 USAF and an aircraft.cfg for the MS Learjet 45.
Several F104's, Tornadoes and MiGs perform touch and goes in the local area,
a Nato E3A leaves IFR to Geilenkirchen (ETNG), an USAF KC-135 routes IFR to
Decimomannu (LIED), a Canberra B.20 (was used for high altitude validations) goes
IFR to Cologne (EDDK) high in the sky and a Learjet shoots IFR to Bremen (EDDW) per
attached flight plan.
Lago's FSE is required in order to see most of the emplaced buildings /objects.
Lets get ready to rumble, but keep in mind, don't argue with the flight checkers
if they are on duty.

| CYVP - Kuujjuaq - Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kuujjuaq is in northern Quebec at the southern end of Ungava Bay, and 30 miles up the Koksoak River. Kuujjuaq has a population of around 2,400; it was previously called Fort Chimo and in 1830 there was a Hudson Bay trading post established close by, but on the other bank of the river. A nursing station and a school were established in 1948 and the Hudson Bay post moved across the river to the current location. The airport is to the south of the town and, unusally for northern airfields, has two runways. The asphalt runway is 6,000 feet long and aligned 07/25, and the gravel runway is 5,000 feet long and aligned 13/31; 07 has ILS. There is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA, but the 100LL will be in drums and you are required to have your own pump. There are numerous flights that stop at Kuujjuaq; the AI included here has Air Creebec, First Air, Wasaya Airways, and Air Inuit (Kuujjuaq is a maintenance centre for Air Inuit) plus private flights by various aircraft. There is also a flight by my poor representation of a Helicopter Transport Services chopper. There is a float base on the nearby Stewart Lake during the summer months. The base is within the Kuujjuaq control zone, and normally you would talk to the tower and inform them of your intentions, but in FS9 this cannot be replicated.

| Naknek (5NK) and Naknek South (WSN) - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Naknek and Naknek South are two towns close to the mouth of the Naknek River and on opposite banks. King Salmon is approximately 15 miles to the east. The canneries on both banks of the river are the reason for the existence of both towns and airfields, with fishing for salmon being the primary industry of the area. This takes place from the beach by individuals, by small boats in the river and the immediate sea area, and offshore by larger craft. There is a picture of one boat unloading in Naknek which will be known to anyone who has watched the most famous television fishing programme of all, Deadliest Catch. Cornelia Marie is better known for the crab fishing based in Dutch Harbor, but this area too is just as productive though without the drama. Naknek 5NK has two gravel runways and a float runway in the adjoining lake; all three are just under 2,000 feet long. Naknek South WSN has two gravel runways, 12-30 being 3,300 feet long and 04-22 2,260 feet. As the road connecting to King Salmon is on the north bank it is probable that more seasonal workers are brought into the southern canneries by air, hence the longer runway (and with PAPI on 12). Grant Aviation run scheduled flights into both and there are numerous seasonal charter flights. The AI is a further modification of that posted with King Salmon PAKN and includes these flights, and presumes that you have already downloaded PAKN.
