File Description:
EGLK Blackbushe 1955-1959
Opened in 1942 as RAF Hartford Bridge it was used for fighter, bomber and photo reconnaissance work before being renamed Blackbushe and transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in 1947, becoming London's second airport. It was closed in 1960 as a result of the development of London Gatwick. Before that it had become home to the rapidly growing British independent airline industry and often provided a valuable alternate for Heathrow when it was restricted by fog. It was also a major European base for the US Navy. Since 1960 it has continued to serve general aviation under private ownership on a much more restricted site. This scenery is part of the California Classic retro environment.

| Beaver Creek CYXQ in Yukon Territory, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Beaver Creek is located at mile 1202 of the Alaska Highway, just east of the Alaska/Yukon border. The populaton is around 100 and the main employment is with the Border Agency, the White River First Nation, or with local tourist lodges. The airfield is a mile north of the town and close to the Canadian border post, which is included in the scenery. It was built by Jack Stalberg in the 1960's, and I have no further information beyond the fact that he loved to fly. The airport serves as an "airport of entry", though it is restricted in hours of opening and in the size of aircraft that it can handle; up to a maximum of only 15 seats. The single runway is 3,745 feet long and 100 feet wide, gravel, aligned 13-31 in FS9, lit, and with vasi at both ends. Righthand circuits for runway 13. There is a 340 feet threshold displacement to runway 31, which is of course unmarked on a gravel runway. The terminal building was recently reclad; I don't like it, but they didn't consult me. The ai reflects the sort of traffic the airfield gets; ie brief paperwork stopovers for GA or small charter flights into Canada from Alaska, usually in the mornings.I have adjusted the local scenery terrain levels to remove adjacent hills that I believe do not exist in real life but are part of the Northern Canada terrain mesh that I have installed. If you do not have this mesh you may find that the scenery works fine for you without the API flatten that is included here. The airfield is at 2,129 feet ASL.

| Fort Nelson CYYE in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Nelson is close to the Peace River in the northeast corner of British Columbia, around 70 miles from the northern border, 90 from the eastern border, and 80 miles east of the Rockies. The wartime construction of the Alaska Highway actually started from Fort Nelson, as there was already a road from Fort St John (which is close to Dawson Creek) north to Fort Nelson. The airfield was part of this construction effort and after the wartime ferrying of planes to Russia it was used by the US Army Air Force and then by the Canadian Air Force. Fort Nelson flourished with the oil and gas exploration of the 1950's and the following years, and this continued to grow until the collapse of the oil price in 2014.
The town of Fort Nelson became the capital of the Northern Rockies Regional District when it was founded in 2009, and as a result the official name of the Fort Nelson airport is the Northern Rockies Regional Airport. The date for this scenery is around 2016, by which time the economic fortunes of the town were in decline. Five times per day flights by Central Mountain Air were starting to be reduced in number to the current (in 2022) one per day and none on Sunday; in the AI included here there are two flights per day. The main resident users of the airport are four helicopter companies, the helicopters presumably used for maintenance trips to whatever parts of the oil and gas fields that are still in use in the surrounding area.
There are two runways, the main one is aligned 03-21, 6,400 feet long and 200 feet wide, with ILS at the southern end and PAPI at the northern. The second runway (a narrower rebuild on a previously existing runway) is aligned 07-25 and 77 feet wide, and is without any lights. These are the alignments as per the original build of FS9 and not as per the approximate 2016 date of the buildings; I had a problem at a very late stage in making this scenery which prevented me from continuing with some final details.
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 in the winter so it all looks very different.

| One Hundred Mile House CAV3, British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
One Hundred Mile House is eight miles south of 108 Mile Airport in BC and this version HAS THE MISSING TEXTURES! It is also 75 miles northwest of Kamloops. The runway 08/26 is 1,900 feet long and asphalt (except in the winter, when it is described as "snow"; there is also a note about limited winter maintenance) and almost in the middle of town. The apron is at the eastern (town) end of the runway and on the south side of this there is a large pond which attracts ducks and other water birds. Try to avoid the geese, they can weigh 14lb and come through the prop AND the perspex and up close have dark brown eyes; I speak from an experience 50 feet above the Rockcliffe runway.

| Altitude adjustment for Dawson City CYDA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I discovered that the Northern Canada Terrain Mesh that I installed a while back was dumping part of my Dawson City Airport CYDA into a deep hole. I tried making a flatten to reduce the height of the terrain mesh land but that did not look at all realistic. So, the solution is to raise CYDA to 1,457 feet above sea level instead of the correct (correct according to the Nav Canada Supplement) level of 1,215 feet so that it melts into the surrounding terrain. There are still some rocky faces but at least they are not in the airfield. Do you need it? Not if your version looks ok. If it doesn't look ok then try this, but save your current version so you can go back to it if you need to.

| Bank Farm Farm Field CF09 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Bank Farm field is in Ontario and around 11 miles south and a bit east of Ottawa airport, just west of Bank Street that wriggles its way south out of Ottawa. There is a grass runway 08/26 (actually 085/265) that is 2,600 feet long, and the grass could not possibly be better. A small (and old) hangar is now only used to house the farm owner's Cessna 172 during the winter. There is a large (and also old) barn and the house is right on the approach to the runway from the east; approach 08 between the barn and the house and straightens it out on very short finals.
The hangar, barn, and house are modeled specifically for this scenery, as was the log pile.
