| Hicks Farm Field CF12 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Hicks Farm is in Ontario and around 8 miles west of Rideau Valley Airpark CPL3 (which did not appear in FS9, probably because it was then mainly used by gliders, but is a post of mine). CPL3 is 15 miles south of Ottawa Airport, tucked into a right angle bend of the Rideau River. Ultimate Terrain puts the river into place, and I am not sure of how or if either CPL3 or CF12 work without UT, maybe somebody can let me know. Fly west from CPL3 along the river and Hicks Farm will be on the south side. It has a (mainly) grass runway 34/16 with a section of asphalt and totals some 5,500 feet overall. Alan, the owner of Hicks Farm, is in his mid 80's and was told last year that his insurance company no longer felt comfortable with him flying his Lear off a farm strip. The result of his enforced retirement from flying his Lear is that the grass has been allowed to take over somewhat, though there is still sufficient space to land most single engine light aircraft.

| Alaska North Slope 5 - Nuiqsut PAQT |
|
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.

| Camden Field in Trinidad |
|
File Description:
Camden Field was once a wartime American airfield, which shows up in the wide east-west runway that has more recently been partly resurfaced. There are no runway markings beyond a centre line, and it just sort of tapers off at the sides and the eastern end into the bush. In contrast to the renovated hangar to the north of the western end of the runway the buildings to the south haven't been touched by any recent tender-loving-care. There is a wonderful patched-together shed and a small control tower, which was built on the edge of the existing runway. This makes it appear rather close to the edge of the resurfaced runway area. Do not be fooled, this is not an illusion; it IS close to the edge of the runway. Just take comfort in the thought that the prevailing southeast winds (for much of the year) will tend to blow you away from it as you approach for a landing from the west. And I kept the pre-renovation version of the old hangar when I found some old pics of the crop dusting operation from five years ago.

| PADL - Dillingham - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Dillingham is a town with a population of around 2,300 at the southeast corner of the Bering Sea in Bristol Bay, 70 miles west of King Salmon. The town's economical well being is based on the commercial price of salmon and the numerous surrounding sport fishing lodges. FS9 shows the town as way more extensive than it is; the landclass textures correct this. The airport is a mile west of the town and has a single runway 6,400 feet long and orientated 01-19. There are scheduled passenger flights by Alaska Air (numerous in summer and non-existant in winter) and PenAir (year around) plus cargo flights by Everts and Northern Air Transport, and local scheduled flights by Grant Air; the AI includes these, plus GA. The GA gravel apron is behind the main apron and across a road, which is unusual. The parking on the asphalt apron is marked; in actuality there are no markings but landing at a field in FS9 that doesn't have a control tower leaves one wondering where to go; the six spots at the far northern end are unused by AI and free for visitors.

| Hope Field near Ottawa Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The field is newly included in the Canada Flight Supplement. Unusually for a grass field the runway has the numbers marked out in white; given that this is a private airfield that does not invite unexpected guests and has only one plane based there, and presuming that the owner can remember his own runway headings, it is unlikely that these will still be there in a year's time. There is no hangar as yet. To the west is highway 416 and to the east is the Rideau River, both of which run north-south. Lke Rockcliffe (which is to the north) the airfield is right on the edge of the Ottawa control zone, so you should already be below 1,500 feet ASL when approaching from the south and talking to Ottawa tower when arriving from the north. The runway is 07/25 and 2,800 feet long, which should be enough for almost anybody, and the field is at 315 feet ASL. Manotick is a mile to the north east on the Rideau River and the Rideau Valley Airpark CPL3 is six miles south in the bend of the Rideau where it turns west.

| Mackar Inlet CWMI in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mackar Inlet was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on the west shore of the Melville Peninsula, which is part of the northern Canadian mainland. The station was closed only in 1992, so it is relatively intact. Hall Beach is 120 miles to the east, on the eastern shore of the peninsula, and Kugaaruk is just over 100 miles to the west. The runway is still in good condition and is around 3,800 feet of gravel 110' wide, aligned 164T/344T and at 100 feet ASL. The station buildings are up on the hill at 1,350 feet ASL and 5 miles to the south. None of these DEW line stations are particularly impressive or even interesting. However, you can bet that any pilot flying regularly in the north along the coast knows where all these runways are, in case one of them suddenly becomes his favourite in the whole world just after the sudden silence. I should have mentioned a long time ago that to see the apron lights working (on my fields that HAVE apron lights) requires you to have the "lights_ss_v2" by Sidney Schwartz installed.

| Chesterfield Inlet CYCS in Nunavut, Canada |
|

File Description:
Chesterfield Inlet is a small village on the west coast of Hudson Bay, with a population of 340 or so. It is the oldest community in Nunavut and was established around a Hudson Bay Company post in 1911, 55 miles north of Rankin Inlet (Sid and Pete's post). The airfield is close to the village and has a gravel runway 3,600 feet long aligned 124T/304T (true, not magnetic). Fuel is available with 2 hours prior notice, and the visiting AI airlines are First Air and Calm Air.

| KPQI Presque Isle (1942-1945) |
|
File Description:
Situated very near the Canadian border, this airport in Maine played a major role in ferrying US aircraft to the United Kingdom during the Second World War, in conjunction with, among others, Montreal (CYUL), Goose Bay (CYYR), Gander (CYQX) in Newfoundland and Bluie West One (BGBW) in southern Greenland. Ernest K Gann operated from it in 1942 and it therefore features in his classic 'Fate is the Hunter'. With an ADE drawn on a chart of 1956 and some custom buildings, this scenery attempts to recreate this historic airfield.

File Description:
Atka is near the western end of the Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska, around 100 miles east of Adak and 330 miles west of Dutch Harbor. The small town (population around 60 now, down from 90 only 5 years ago; so quickly?) is reliant on fishing. The airport is a mile or so north of the town on the east coast of the island, with a single runway of 4,500 feet of asphalt, and there are scheduled flights by Grant Aviation from Dutch Harbor (included in the AI posted with Adak).

| Almond Valley Viaduct, Edinburgh EGPH |
|
File Description:
The Almond Valley Viaduct consists of over 40 stone built arches carrying the Edinburgh-Glasgow Queen Street railway line between Ratho Station and Broxburn. There are actually two sections to this monster. The main sweep consists of at least 35 identical arches (I haven't actually confirmed the number!) which is over farm-land. This is followed by a natural embankment then a final 7 arches, the centre of which is wider than the rest as it crosses the A89 2.5Km West of the the end of RWY 24 at Edinburgh.
