File Description:
Koyukuk is a small village on the northern bank of the Yukon River, around 5 miles east of where the river turns from north-south to east-west, east being upstream towards the distant Fairbanks. The mouth of the Koyukuk River that joins the Yukon is just to the east of the village. The population is now under 100 and living from fishing and the land. During the late 1800's the local population lived off the land and also by the spin off from gold mining in the same way as the nearby Nulato, but when in the early 1900's gold mining activities moved to Nome and Fairbanks local prosperity plunged. In fact, the village only became a permanently inhabited establishment in 1939, when a school was built. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 6-24 and 4,000 feet long with PAPI on the approach to 6. There is also a shorter and parallel grass runway that is only used in the winter snows by light planes that are on skis and without wheels. Apart from the airfield itself, and it's buildings, this scenery modifies the local land class, adds village buildings while reducing the village size to reality, and creates a new airfield background. Koyukuk is served by Wright Air from Fairbanks in the east and this is included in the AI provided with the post of Nulato. A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 509 and 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. There is a limit to what can be located online and I have already been making use of the little there is; eg Unalakleet. So, if you are near an airport (preferably Canadian or Alaskan) and have a camera..... Let me know.

| RAF East Moor |
|
File Description:
RAF East Moor was opened in 1942 and was originally a 4 Group facility and first hosted No. 158 Squadron RAF which had moved from RAF Driffield on 6 June 1942. The squadron flew the Handley Page Halifax Mk. II with detachments at RAF Beaulieu and RAF Manston before moving to RAF Rufforth on 6 November 1942.
Royal Canadian Air Force use
The first squadron was No. 429 Squadron RCAF which formed at the airfield on 7 November 1942 initially only flying the Vickers Wellington Mk.III until January 1943 when the Wellington Mk. X was added. The squadron left on 13 August 1943 going to RAF Leeming where the unit re-equipped with Halifaxes. On 19 September 1943 the next squadron arrived being 432 Squadron which initially used the Avro Lancaster Mk.II before being re-equipped with the Halifax Mk. III in February 1944 and the Mk. VII Halifax in July 1944. The squadron disbanded on 15 May 1945 at the airfield.
The last Canadian squadron to use the airfield was 415 Squadron which flew the Halifax III from 26 July 1944. The unit inherited the additional Mk.VII versions during March 1945 but disbanded shortly after on 15 May 1945 at the airfield.
Royal Air Force use
Not long after the last Canadian squadron disbanded the airfield was handed back to the Royal Air Force (RAF). The first RAF unit to use the airfield was No. 54 Operational Training Unit (OTU) which had moved in during November 1945 flying the de Havilland Mosquito. By May 1946 No. 288 Squadron RAF joined with their Supermarine Spitfire IX's and their Vultee Vengeance Mk. IV's with a detachment at RAF Acklington. The squadron disbanded on 15 June 1946. No. 54 OTU stayed until June 1946 when the unit moved to RAF Leeming but a detachment stayed until 15 November 1946.
The airfield closed to flying in November 1946. Most of the buildings were taken down and the land has reverted largely to agricultural use.

File Description:
B36 C Peacemaker for X-Plane 6.51 - The B36 Peacemaker was the last propeller driven bomber put into service by the US. With 6 - 3500 Hp radial engines and a gross takeoff weight of 410,000 lbs the early versions like the A and B variants (downloadable on AVSIM as version 1.0) were woefully underpowered. This file is the later version with 4 - 5200 lb static thrust jet engines added. Never called into active service the B36 provided the US long range nuclear determent until the jet B52 came into service. The B36 is a huge airplane with a large payload capacity, 10000 mile range and long endurance. See the read me file for distribution and copyright information.

| Project Airlift Janet #0 |
|
File Description:
Welcome to Janet Airways : "Where we go nowhere; without you" We offer daily services to some of the most uninviting desert resorts, including the Dreamland Resort located on the dry (yet scenic) Groom Lake, the Tonopah Test Range in, you guessed it, Tonopah and China Lake Naval Air Warfare Station in the pleasant community of Ridgecrest. Care to mingle with the who's who of Little Green Men, get shot at by The Cammo Dudes or test-fire that new plasma rifle you've been dreaming about? So do we! We are conveniently located on South Haven Avenue just off the Las Vegas Strip at McCarran International. Redeem your miles (or parsecs). Please, no cameras!
Ok, enough nonsense. This file includes weekly flightplans for all 6 T-43A that Janet (of Area 51 fame) flies. The complete schedule is included, with 'unscheduled' flights to China Lake, Point Mugu, and Edwards AFB. These are 'real' destinations for Janet, but are not on a 'scheduled' basis.

| CYKF Version 2.1 Full Package |
|
File Description:
I have now overhauled the CYKF Airport and made it the lively place it is today. I used the Canada Flight Supplement and my real life knowledge of the airport as this is where I do my flight training.
--Extended runway 25/07 and added the new taxiway and renamed the others
--Changed the landclass for the runway 25/07 extension
--Updated the airport in AFCAD for AI to use the runway 25/07 extension
--Added 6 AI flightplans to the 3 already there. AI will model real life training and commercial operations of the airport
--AI use proper Canadian registration codes
--Tested the files to make sure it operates correctly including AI
--2.1 Revisions
I updated the Traffic_CYKF file to use UTC times instead of local which I did by mistake. The AI will now fly at the proper times. ---**NOTE for those who have version 2.0 a separate upgrade only file is available **---
