| Union Island TVSU in the Grenadines |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Union Island is in the southern tail of the chain of islands known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Canouan and Carriacou. Union is another small island, 3.5 miles long and at its widest 1.5 miles wide; the resident population is around 3,000, mostly in the two towns Clifton and Ashton.
The airport is at the eastern end of the island, and has been extended into the sea on landfill. The runway is now around 2,480 feet long, aligned 08 (and with the southeast trade winds it is unlikely that you will find yourself using 26) and with a displaced threshold of 530 feet due to the hill to the west. The terminal is adjacent to a rather small apron; there is parking on the grass north of the taxiway. There are connecting flights by SVG to Barbados and the other islands and these are reflected in the AI. The airport has no lighting, and flights are obliged to land and depart in daylight hours only, outside of which the airport is closed.

| CZFM - Fort McPherson - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a series of airfields that follow (approximately) that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river and on the eastern side of the delta there is Tuktoyaktuk, then 80 miles south is Inuvik (both already posted). 70 miles south of Inuvik is Fort McPherson, on the east bank of the Peel River, 20 miles west of the junction with the Mackenzie and on the Dempster Highway. The town has a population of around 830, and (as usual in the north!) was the site of a Hudson Bay trading post, the main post for the Mackenzie delta area for over 50 years. The airport is less than 2 miles to the south of the town, and has 3,500 feet of gravel runway. AI is two ga flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field; this will change with further posts. There is no fuel available.

| CYYD - Smithers Regional Airport - Smithers, British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Smithers is in northwest BC, 60 miles east and a bit north of Terrace (my previous post) and directly east of the southern border of Alaska, 430 miles north of Vancouver on the Yellowhead highway. The town has a population of 5,500 and is set in a north-south valley between mountains, the most impressive of which is Hudson Bay Mountain to the west. The airport is to the north of the town and has a single runway of 7,544 feet, aligned 33-15. The main user is Central Mountain Air, who are headquartered in Smithers and have a large maintenance hangar there next to the terminal building. The airport has scheduled flights by Central Mountain Air, Jazz, and Hawk Air, which are in the AI along with a Lockheed Electra of Conair (who are the largest operator of fire fighting planes in BC and have re-fill tanks in Smithers) and also a HS 748 of Air North, which is actually for an upcoming post of Old Crow CYOC.

| Tofino CYAZ 2012 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
I've always had a particular fondness for Tofino CYAZ, located on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I made my first Tofino scenery in 2005 using Lago's FSE, and an updated version in 2006 using EZ-Scenery. Neither of those included custom models. This final version is a complete, from-the-ground-up rebuild. Every building and many of the other scenery objects are custom made based on photos and using photo textures. (The images in the "Tour" folder will take you on a tour of the real and virtual airport.) In the time since the first two virtual versions were made, a new terminal building has been added to the east ramp at the real Tofino, along with some new hangers, and the scenery includes these changes. Tofino has an NDB instrument approach (CYAZ NDB A.pdf), but night operations are not allowed. For this reason the new terminal building has no night lighting. The golf clubhouse restaurant and pro shop are open after dark for your shopping and dining pleasure. This scenery represents many hours of work...I hope you enjoy it.

| Minstrel Island CAX7 float base in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the third in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Minstrel Island is on the south side of Knight Inlet and 25 miles west of Knight Inlet Lodge (the previous post in this series). There is a resort on the island, though it is hidden from the air by the trees. Fuel and oil are both available at the dock, and there is a 17 feet tidal range, which would be interesting of it could be replicated in FS. The AI is an adaptation of that for CF36 and involves a GA Cessna, and a Seair Beaver flying from Campbell River to Knight Inlet Lodge via Minstrel Island. Again, because of large hills the landing of the AI may or may not take place, depending on wind direction and whether or not they fly into solid rock before landing. Take off and departure will take place. Ultimate Terrain Alaska/Canada would be a definite plus to get the water in the right shape and place. This scenery will not work without it.

| Health Bay CAD7 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the fourth in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Health Bay is a small village on the west coast of Gilford Island, just 13 miles northwest of Minstrel Island (the previous post in this series). There is no fuel or oil available. The AI is a further adaptation of the original CF36 AI and involves a Baxter Beaver flying from Port Hardy on a round trip in the area through Port McNeill, Health Bay, Echo Bay, and Sullivan Bay. At Health Bay the AI appears to work for both landing and takeoff, though landing will still depend on wind direction. I have played with circuit height and runway length at Minstrel Island and there are improvements, so there is a Minstrel Island replacement bgl. All of these float bases can be installed together in the same folders, with a saving in duplicate textures. So a series called BC Floats (or whatever you want to call it) or individually installed float bases; your choice. The next in the series will be Echo Bay, shown in an included screenshot.

| PAUT - Akun Island - Alaska, USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Akun Island is close to Akutan, only 7 miles away from the village and the Trident fish processing plant that is just west of the village. Unfortunately those 7 miles are over the sea, as the airport has been built on a different island where there are fewer hills. The link is by hovercraft, which is included as AI in this post along with a "seaport" that boasts only an apron down by the beach. PAUT has a single runway aligned 09-27 which is 4,500 feet long and has a surrounding gravel base. There are daily flights from Dutch Harbor by Grant Aviation, more than one if more are required. The Ai contains these flights, plus a late afternoon Coastguard helicopter flight is added to the revised St Paul Island AI included here. Adjacent to the airport there is a camp for housing labour who were employed on the airport construction, and this is now available for wildlife survey teams or whoever else needs to find accommodation while working on Akun Island.

| CYQR Regina (Regina International Airport and Roland Groome Field) Version 2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Regina International Airport can trace its history back to 1919, when Regina airport became the first registered air harbour in Canada. This virtual model of CYQR represents the airport as it was in spring of 2007. CYQR airport is the gateway to southern Saskatchewan, Canada and is situationed in Regina, which is the provincial capital. The airport is served by Air Canada, Air Canada JAZZ, Westjet, West Wind, Express Air, Northwest Airlines and United Airlines. The airport is named for Roland Groome, who was the first registered pilot in Canada.
This scenery is a re-upload of version 2 of the scenery, which was lost in the AVSIM hack. Nothing has changed.
This scenery was constructed using GMAX and includes nearly every airport and commercial building on the airport property. Beyond the airport itself this scenery also includes, as an option, the major landmark buildings in the city of Regina proper and those on the runway approaches. Regina City buildings are meant to enhance the realism of virtual flying in the Regina area.

Kremmling, Mc Elroy (20V), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
Ever wanted to know how the scenery looks like around Kremmling VOR? Now you got the chance! This region covers the area around Kremmling and the northern part of the Gore Range. At Kremmling the Colorado River meets both the Blue River and the Muddy Creek. West of Kremmling you can see Gore Canyon. This rugged and steep canyon is almost 1000ft deep and was carved by the Colorado River on its way thru the Gore Range.
To explore the scenery depart from Mc Elroy Airfield (20V) in Kremmling and head north. High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_West.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. Thanks to Joop Mak for providing custom AFCADs that correct airport layouts so that they align with the photo-textures! They are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/AFCADs.html . YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Michael.

Colorado Springs South (KCOS), Colorado, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX)
This region covers the area of Colorado Springs. Just west of the city you can fly around Pikes Peak. At 14.115ft it is the easternmost of Colorado's 54 fourteeners. Northwest of the city lies the Garden Of Gods with its many vertical rock formations. They are made of sedimentary beds red and white sandstones, conclomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally but have been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massiv. Deep within Chayenne Mountain is the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) main technical facility which collects and evaluates data from a worldwide system of satellites, radars and other sensors.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads) are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/GNB_South3East.html . The screenies are taken from the high-res versions, so expect this version to be slightly more blurry. YourDonation@Work: Dedicated to Veit and Hector.
