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. Nuiqsut is a mainly Inuit community on the west side of the Colville River, around 20 miles south of the coast, and with a slowly declining population of around 420 or so. The airfield is just south of the town and has a gravel runway 5,000 feet long and aligned 04-22 in FS9. The airfield is the only year-round contact route to the rest of the world, though there are plans for a permanent road. The AI includes daily passenger flights early and late in the day, cargo deliveries, and some GA. It seems that the only photos I had of the airport were either of the old building or were not of Nuiqsut at all. The only pic I have seen (recently, which is why I now have doubts) of the new building is insufficient to model it, so I am sticking with the old or maybe incorrect version.

| Alaska South Slope 12; Teller K54 |

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 fifth in a series for local flights from Nome, and it is on the coast around 55 miles east of Wales and 55 miles northwest of Nome. There are two other airfields around a large lagoon that is almost totally enclosed from the sea, and Teller is on the easten shore, just 15 miles east of Port Clarence and 5 miles southeast of Brevig Mission, both already posted. Teller has a populaton of around 230, down from the 5,000 or so in the early 1900's after the Bluestone Placer Mine struck gold. 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, where the Teller Mission Church was later renamed the Brevig Mission. The name was later appropriated and used for the curent village of that name; he was surely very well regarded by the local population. Unusually, it is possible to drive from Nome to Teller in summer, on a dirt road. Conversely, the road that shows in FS9 to the north towards Brevig Mission (courtesy of Ultimate Terrain) does not in fact exist except in winter, when it is estabished on the snow by the tyre tracks of users. The airstrip is southeast and 2 miles by road from the main part of the village on the spit, with a gravel runway 02-25 which is 3,500 feet of gravel. The AI is the usual for this area, Bering and ERA with some GA and cargo by Everts.

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 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. 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. 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.

| Valdez Pioneer Field PAVD in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Pioneer Field is in Valdez Alaska, between the mountains to the north and the water of Valdez Arm to the south. It used to cater for a lot of the work for the Alaskan pipline and the nearby terminal and in the middle 1970's it was a very busy place. That is not the case now, and the tower is no longer manned though there is still an average of 35 flights a day and there are 30 planes (and helicopters) based at the field. There are three really odd hangars at the western end of the apron, with each of them having 6 "T" hangars which have been joined in a circle; this is the only place I have ever seen this. The recently resurfaced runway is 6,500 feet of 150 feet wide asphalt aligned 6/24 at 121 feet asl. There is also a wide and heavy duty asphalt and gravel surrounding runoff and base, probably because of drainage problems with water from the mountains. Fuel (both JetA and 100LL) is available from ERA Helicopters at the eastern end of the apron. All of the buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, plus the nearby accomodation blocks. The AI flights are for the twice-daily ERA/Alaska Air flights using a Bombardier Dash 8-200.

| PAKN - King Salmon - Alaska, US V1 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the final version, complete in itself and incorporating the two modifications posted separately. King Salmon is a town with a population of just under 400, on the north bank of the Naknek River and 15 miles from the sea. The airport is adjacent to the town and was originally an airforce base; the military hangars on the airport are still usable. The airport, with its long runway (11-29 and 8,500 feet with an ILS, and a second runway 18-36 and 4,000 feet) is a transportation hub for the area in general and in particular for the salmon industry. Along the Naknek River there are numerous canneries and there are also fishing lodges on the river and nearby lakes; to speed up transportation to the lodges there are float bases on the river to the south of the airport. King Salmon has three tiers of scheduled flights: Alaska Air direct from Anchorage in a 737 (passengers and cargo), PenAir (Saab turboprop) as part of their flights up and down the peninsula, and Grant Air serving nearby small towns. There are also PenAir flights, both scheduled and unscheduled, in smaller aircraft (Piper Navajo for instance) to smaller airports for the fishing season, plus cargo flights in larger aircraft by the lowest bidder (Everts and Northern). To complete the mix the AI includes a pair of F15s. The runways cross (see the airport diagram) so read the notes re long taxi routes. There is AI for PAKN, plus revised AI made for Dutch Harbor which includes flights by PenAir to King Salmon, plus revised parking for Dutch Harbor with new replacement bgls to cater for more flights. There is also AI for the float bases on the river; I have made two runways separated into two float bases for river AI, called King Salmon Floats and King Salmon River; more AI for these will be added when other scenery along the river is made. Just land according to the wind and taxi to whatever dock takes your fancy.

| Talkeetna Village AK44 in Alaska, REVISED |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Talkeetna is around 75 miles north of Anchorage in Alaska, on the east shore of the Susitna River where the Susitna, Talkeetna, and Chulitna rivers join. The town is where Don Sheldon started Talkeetna Air Services. His story is told in "Wager With The Wind" by James Greinar and is well worth reading for the descriptions of mountain flying. There are two airfields at Talkeetna, PATK with its long asphalt runway and Talkeetna Village AK44 in the town. This is AK44; measuring the space left for the runway between the river bank in the south and the curve in the road that marks the north end of the field there is just enough space for the 900 feet of runway that is described in the book. The result is a step back in time to 1973, when the second hangar was built. Neither hangar has survived to today.

| PASD - Sand Point - Aleutians Alaska USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sand Point is in the eastern third of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 85 miles east of Cold Bay on Popof Island. The town has a population of around 1,000 and it's economy is solidly based on fishing. There is, in the town, a fish processing plant owned by Trident (their largest plant is in Akutan, east of Dutch Harbor) and the area close to the airport is used for crab pot storage etc. The single runway is aligned 13-31 (with right hand circuits on 13) and 6,000 feet long. There are scheduled flights by Grant Aviation to neighbouring local airfields and flights to and from Anchorage by Peninsula Air (included in the AI posted with Adak). The Coastguard also make occasional visits.

| Alaska North Slope 6; Oliktok POLI |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Oliktok is a DEW station Air Force base to the east of the Colville River delta, 160 miles east of Barrow and 12 miles from Harmon Helmericks house and dirt strip in the delta on Anachlik Island. (See my previous post, made after reading his book about northern Alaska flying). The runway is just over 4,000 feet of gravel and aligned 03-21. The large hangar is still there, and so are the majority of the DEW buildings closer to the beach. There are now also some oil production facilities and living quarters nearby on the point, but these are not included in this scenery as to make them convincingly (and there is no point in making them unconvincingly!) would be 100+ times as laborious as making the airstrip. And as Sid has memorably said, "If you can't taxi up to it, then xxxx it". So this scenery is dated way before the north slope was changed from a wilderness to an industrial complex. The AI is one day a C-130, on another a Cessna, and on a third a Reeve Aleutian DC-6B.
