File Description:
Maniwaki airfield is seven miles south of the town of Maniwaki and some 60 miles north of Ottawa, up the Gatineau River. There is a generous 5,000 feet of runway 03/21 that is 150 feet wide and in bad condition, so bad that there are now almost no markings of any sort (even a centre line, the apron has more paint than the runway!) and the whole lot is going to be redone next summer. The apron is large, and in the summer accomodates two Bombardier CL 415 fire fighting amphibians, which is why there is a large access platform loitering on the apron. There are only five hangars on the field with another one tucked into the trees behind a house. The hangars and the office/cafe building have been modelled specifically for this field. There are further buildings to the north which are not actually on the airfield and which house fire department personnel.

| 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.

| Canouan TVSC in the Grenadines |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Canouan Island is the one of the middle islands in the chain known as St Vincent and the Grenadines, between Mustique and Union Island. Canouan is around 5 miles long and shaped like a hook, with a resident population of 1,200. There has been major touristic development on the island since the early 1990's and the island now has paved roads, electricity, and desalinated water along with a golf course.
The airport is at the southern end of the island and the runway has been extended to 5,875 feet on reclaimed land, making Canouan the jet airport for the Grenadines with flights from North and South America. There are connecting flights to the other islands by SVG and LIAT. The airport apron has been extended to accomodate larger planes and I have shown the airport with this apron work still in progress and during the expansion of the terminal building. The AI has two international flights, on Wednesday and Saturday, and both by American.

| 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.

| Kangirsuk CYAS in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kangirsuk is an Inuit village in northern Quebec, on the coast of Ungava Bay. The airport is the only means of access on this coast for the population of around 550, apart from a period in late summer. It is between Quaqtaq and Aupaluk, and around 140 miles north of Kuujjuaq, a major centre in this area for supplies, medical care, education, and anything to do with local government. This version of the airport and village is from around 2010, with the original terminal building that has now been replaced. The runway is just under 3,500 feet of lit gravel aligned 04-22 and the AI includes the daily Air Inuit flight that connects Kangirsuk with Kuujjuaq and other local airfields en route. This is almost certainly the last of the northern Quebec coastal airfields that I will be able to model with the correct buildings; only two missing so not too bad.

| Gander CYQX in Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Gandeer is on the east coast of Canada and is the closest North American airport to Europe on the great circle route. In the early days of transatlantic flight, and in fact into the 1960's, this made it very important as a refueling stop either before the ocean hop or just after. Since then it's importance as an airport has faded somewhat as planes now fly directly to the larger city destinations. It is still an active air force base for ocean patrol and search and rescue planes, and military flights are around half of the total flights into and out of the airport. The main attractions of the airport now are the long runways and the cheaper landing fees, and there are some cargo flights and cheap charter passenger flights. This version of Gander is based upon a forgotten-about video taken in October 2010. By then the two longer runways, 13-31 at 8,900 feet and 03-21 at 10,200 feet (though in FS9 this is still designated 04-22, as it had been in 2003) had been closed (one at a time) and totally resurfaced. The third runway 09-27 (3,500 feet in 2003) was closed and starting the process of being broken up, along with associated aprons. This was part of a long process of demolition of some of the older buildings, aprons, and taxiways as they became unused with the fall in the number of daily flights. I have made it clear which of the 2010 taxiways and aprons were still in use by showing them as asphalt, while those in the process of decaying disuse or removal are in the darker tarmac texture; this is somewhat realistic as when asphalt aprons are "ploughed" for removal the darker underside becomes visible. In the renovation process of taxiway repairs only the centre strip of the taxiways was repaired and this is marked by new and closer edge lines. One end of the closed runway was still being used in 2010 for access and parking. There is a warning note in the April 2010 edition of the NAV CANADA Flight Supplement that states "surface rut on Gander Flight Training's private taxiway" (written with extremely shortened words). The Gander layout page is included here, showing that in the Spring of 2010 a much-shortened version (1,875 feet) of the 09-27 runway was still in use; my version is for late 2010 and after that runway was closed. The older buildings (and some of them are now 70 years old or more) are built in concrete and flat roofed with bitumen water proofing; hence the almost black roofs. The terminal building is one of these, though it has been enlarged by the inclusion of a hangar that is now used as the main terminal space. Almost all of the buildings are correctly replicated here. The main GA parking area is to the east of 03-21 where there are two large hangar buildings. One of them is for maintenance and the other is for a large FBO called Gander Aviation. There are other FBO's on the airport, closer to the terminal. These are Irving and Woodward, both to the west, and Allied to the south. There is a further FBO at the eastern end of the apron, name unknown. Shell, who only did refueling, were next to Woodward in 2010 but left, I believe, in 2012. The large red building behind Woodward and Shell is for the maintenance of all airport equipment (from luggage trolleys, snow clearers, de-icing trucks etc to air conditioning, radar, and radios). Most of the remaining buildings are for the air force base, though there are some private companies (such as Universal Helicopters) and even a small private cottage.
