Saint John Berchman's - Galena, Alaska |
![]() |
File Description:
It gives me great pleasure to host the upload of this Alaskan landmark kindly recreated by Don Moser for FS2004 at my request. With only one low quality photograph of the actual church and little to no knowledge of the surrounding area, many liberties were taken with it's creation. Although the church is really there, for the most part this scenery is fictional and evolves more from an ongoing saga involving a nun in the Alaskan outback. You can see more about this on the Bush Flying Unlimited PIREPS and PIREP Hall of Fame at http://www.avsim.com/bfu/index_PIREPHoF.html

Seldovia PASO in Alaska US |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Seldovia is a small airfield across the Kachemak Bay from Homer, 15 miles to the south. The runway is gravel and without lighting; the runway edges and the apron edges are marked by cones. The runway in real life is aligned 16-34 and is just over 1,800 feet, increased here to 2,200 feet to accomodate FS9 AI plane capabilities. The video is one of a series that are well worth watching and this one demonstrates the technique of short field landing and take off.
There is AI, with flights between Homer and Seldovia. I should mention here that the I can only make scenery to fit into my version of FS9, and probably your version is not exactly the same. Also, you may not have the planes that I have used for AI. Unfortunately I cannot cater for something I do not have myself. Homer PAHO will follow on from this post. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

Homer PaHO in Alaska US |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Homer is a mainly GA airfield with rows of open air parking, but it also has scheduled flights, a terminal building, a long (for GA) runway of just under 6,700 feet that is 150 feet wide and aligned 03-21 with VASI on both ends and ILS on 03. So I think we can refer to it as an airport. Plus, at the time of this scenery (around 2010) there were three newly completed hangars on the north apron that I was told were for three companies, Bald Mountain Air service, Maritime Helicopters, and Pathfinder Aviation. I do not know which was for whom, but all three companies are in the helicopter and/or plane charter business. The south apron has a number of hangars and other buildings along it's length, starting at the western end with Smokey Bay Air that has an old control tower on the roof, then the Fire Station, and then Homer Air. I am not aware of who owns what after those first three, except that at the far eastern end there are several garages etc for the airport maintenance equipment. Next to the airport at that end there are a number of boat maintenance companies with boats pulled out of the water; this could not be well replicated due to the airport elevation above the sea level and a misplaced road. The nearby Beluga Lake 5BL float base is also included here, with some AI. The lake height above sea level has been adjusted to cope with too many cliffs intruding into the water; this is an annoying FS9 habit. The Homer scenery is as close to the actual airport as I could make it, while coping with inaccurate coast lines and roads, and grassed areas that could not all be modified for reasons that I will not bore you with. The Spit is a major scenery feature next to the airport, and I have added to this to provide some boats, docks, and nearby buildings etc. Small planes use the adjacent gravel taxi path instead of the runway when back-tracking to take off on runway 21. They only go as far as the path takes them and then u-turn onto the runway and take off. By the way, this airport's AI will function at its best if the prevailing wind makes 03 the runway in use. And I will eventually stop writing 03 and just call it 3, as the US, alone in the world, does not put a zero in front of 01, 02, 03, 04 etc. Just one other thing to note is that all access to the runway is from taxiways A and B; there was (in 2010) no access to the extreme western end of the runway as the taxiway there is marked as out of service pending a needed resurfacing.

PAFE - Kake - Southern Alaska, USA |

File Description:
This is the terminal for Kake PAFE in southern Alaska. Try not to laugh; Kake is a small town and a bus shelter works very well when there might be just one or two passengers for the only flight of the day. This presumes you have installed Tongass Fjords, one of the three by Holger Sandmann and his team, the other two being Misty Fjords and Glacier Bay.

Unalakleet PAUN modification in Alaska |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Unalakleet PAUN is a modification of the scenery made by Sid and Pete way back in 2011, posted with Sid's knowledge and ok. There is a dearth of photographic information available on PAUN and it was only recently that there was enough so that hangars could be properly made and also properly situated. Which is why I made this now with a new ERA hangar, a new beige hangar rotated 90 degrees, next to it a blue hangar, plus fuel tanks, signage, and updated AI to include ERA planes, a NAC B737 and a NAC DC6B. Unalakleet has a population approaching 700, and lives by the income earned from the harvest from the sea and the river. There is no road within hundreds of miles and the only way to get food or anything else delivered is by ship (but only in the ice-free summer months) or through the airport.

FS9 Allakaket 6A8 in Alaska |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Allakaket is on the Koyukuk River in Alaska, 40 miles southwest of Bettles. The population is just over 100, with a school that was opened in 1957 for both Allakaket and the nearby Alatna on the other side of the river. There was a very serious flood in 1964 with almost all of the village being underwater, and this resulted in the establishment of an additional housing area further inland and explains the thinly scattered housing in the original village site. The airfield was established in 1978 and has a gravel runway aligned 5-23 (or 05-23 if you are not American) that is just over 4,500 feet in length. Both the runway and the taxiway are marked with lit cones. The village airfield is served by Wright Air and Warbelows Air, both of them being based in Fairbanks and included in the revised AI for PANN that is included here. There are occasional other larger freight flights as required as there is no road access to the village and the river is too shallow to allow large freight barges; hence the runway length.
A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

Anaktuvuk Pass PAKP in Alaska |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anaktuvuk Pass is a village located 85 miles north of Bettles and just north of the Brooks Range, in a valley that is a route between north and south. The inhabitants are mainly Numamiut, a section of the Inupiat that existed in history (and until today) away from the coastal food supply of fish etc. The current population is around 350. The airport has one gravel runway, aligned 1-19 with PAPI at both ends, and 5,500 feet long as there is no connection to the outside world other than the runway for all necessities that are not available on the tundra. There are two aprons, with light planes and passengers at the northern end of the runway and the Everts cargo flights unloading at the mid runway apron. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

Bethel PABE in southwest Alaska |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
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 this one, Bethel. The town of Bethel has a population of just over 6,000 and is 50 miles from the sea on the Kuskowim River, that splits and forks into many tributaries. Bethel Airport is close to the town and provides the only contact with the rest of Alaska, as there is no connecting highway system. There are scheduled flights by Alaska Airlines, ERA (now called Ravn) and Grant Aviation, plus others such as Ryan Air. There are cargo flights by Everts, Northern, and Lynden, and redistribution onwards to nearby villages by the smaller locally-based planes; all of these are included in the AI. There are two main runways, one just under 6,400 feet and another just under 3,900 feet, both of them aligned 19-1. The third runway is around 1,800 feet and mainly gravel, aligned 11-29. Parking at PABE is on three aprons, the northern for smaller commercial planes of Grant, ERA, Ryan etc, the central for larger planes of Alaska, Northern, Everts, and Lynden, and the southern for a large collection of GA; each apron has further hangars for maintenance companies and smaller operators. There is also another separate apron for the local military and Coastguard. There is not much photographic information available for PABE, and I have never been there; as a result it was impossible to make detailed photographic textures for some of the buildings. However, for most hangars I have made textures of at least the right colour etc based on the information I assembled and if it is green with white trim and side windows then that is how it now appears here. The exceptions are the Alaska Airlines terminal building which has complicated curved elements, and the two military hangars and workshops where I had to settle for an Alaska terminal building from another airport and the same for the military. There are numerous small villages in the vicinity of Bethel, all of them being beside either a river tributary or the coast. There are two Google Earth screenshots to show the villages that are served by the flights from Bethel and that are (mostly) included in the AI. Some of these airfields were not included in FS9 but AI will still operate in and out of Bethel. The smaller area screenshot shows the villages that are close to Bethel, and of these eight I have so far made six and they are included in this post: Napaskiak PKA, Napakiak WNA, Kwethluk KWT, Atmautluak 4A2, Nunapitchuk 16A, and Kasigluk Z09. I will work my way through the rest of the area.
