| Homer PaHO in Alaska US |

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.

| PAOT - Wien Meml - Kotzebue, Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This AFCAD of the airport Wien Meml - Kotzebue (PAOT), Alaska, fixes some issues for Scenery Solution's UTX Alaska users who want to use mesh and texture resolutions better than 38 m and 1 m, respectively. Unfortunately this discloses some additional problems with lagoons surrounding runway 09/27. Some of the ponds had been elevated over apron level, the fence Microsoft had drawn around the airport ran through (elevated) water and so on. Runway 27 has no direct connection to the mainland like it is realized by UTX and furthermore a lot of water polygons (including the lagoons) had 'forgotten' shore line vectors. Included corrections are: fixed main waterpolygons around the airport (according to Google Maps), fixed airport layout, including aprons, GA parking, additional airport buildings (default FSX objects), fixed Runway designators (now 09/27 resp. 18/36 instead of 08/26 and 17/37, Nov. 2013), added shoreline vectors (compatible to UTX textures) and some more.
Again, THIS AFCAD IS INTENDED FOR USERS OF UTX ALASKA ONLY and will likely look horrible in other environments as it partially amends missing features only.

| ConocoPhillips (Alaska) - winter 2007-08 |
|
File Description:
Flightplans for ConocoPhillips which is flying oil workers from Anchorage to destinations in northern Alaska. ConocoPhillips is operating two leased Boeing 737-200 on flights from Anchorage / Fairbanks to the oil fields on the North Slope in Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk. Flights are flown by Phillips Aviation crews under the "Conoco" callsign. There are no flights during the weekend so the planes are supposed to be stuck at Ted Stevens Intl. those days. File for use with MRAI installer included.

| PAWS - Wasilla - Anchorage, Alaska - USA |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wasilla PAWS is in Alaska, some 27 miles northeast of Anchorage and 11 miles due north of Birchwood, on the northern side of the Knik Arm. It is, like Birchwood, a small version of Merrill Field for mostly GA aircraft and private hangars, with some maintenance shops. The town of Wasilla is shown in FS9 and is quite large. There are a bunch of private airfields within a ten mile radius and some of these will be posted in this series, as will some other larger airfields. The main runway is around 3,700 feet long, aligned 03-21 and asphalted and lit, as are the taxiways. Again, like Birchwood, there is also a shorter and parallel runway that is grass and which receives no winter maintenance, for winter use by planes that are on skis.

| PAMR - Merrill Field - Anchorage, Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Merrill Field is in Anchorage Alaska, between Anchorage International to the southwest and and Elmendorf Air Force Base to the north. It caters for general aviation and is the land equivalent of the Lake Hood float plane base (see my post) with fuel and numerous maintenance facilities, and several hundred parking spots for small planes. There are three runways, and the longest is 4,000 feet of 100 feet wide asphalt, the second 2,635 feet of asphalt 75 feet wide, and the third 2,000 feet of 60 feet wide gravel. It is a controlled airfield with a modern control tower. There are almost 50 buildings on the field and three quarters of them have been modeled specifically for this scenery. The download includes a LITE version for older computers as there are a lot of static parked aircraft.

| 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.
