| Umiujaq CYMU in Northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Umiujaq is a small village on the east coast of Hudson Bay, in Quebec, around 140 miles south of Inukjuak and 100 miles north of Kuujjuarapik; the latter is where some 500 inhabitants moved from in 1986 to avoid the effects of a hydroelectric dam project and founded Umiujaq. The airfield is a mile and a half inland and southeast of the village, and the 3,520 feet of gravel runway is aligned 03/21, and these are magnetic bearings as Inukjuak is not in the Northern Domestic Airspace zone. There is no fuel available, unless there is some 100LL in drums. The visiting AI airline is Air Inuit from Montreal.

| St Jovite CSZ3 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Jovite is a grass strip in Quebec near the town of St Jovite and the Mont Tremblant tourist area. This updated version has specifically modeled buildings etc. The unlighted runway is 3,300 feet long, aligned 02/20, and there is now fuel available, so that's a change for the better. However, there is also a landing fee and charges for overnight parking, though the fee is waived if you buy fuel. Based upon my experience of St Jovite there is no AI required for added realism; you will be the only plane visiting and that will be totally realistic. There must be a busy time, but I have never seen it. The aerial picture shows St Jovite from the south, with Lac Ouimet and Mont Tremblant beyond.

| Rockcliffe CYRO update in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is Rockcliffe in late 2011, on the day before the old clubhouse was demolished. It is based on the original scenery by Flight Ontario and follows on from my previous updates, but this is a new version rather than an update and REPLACES the previous versions. The difference is in the bespoke detail: runway and taxiway lighting (the taxiway lighting is limited, as in real life, to taxiway C); signage throughout including runways, taxiways, refuelling, and parking; refuelling tanks and pumps; fence visibility strips; updated ground markings for the Rockcliffe Flying Club apron and the runway; revised apron texture in front of the new hangar; smaller items such as trash cans and external electrical distribution box for heating cables. There are also, from previous updates, the new clubhouse, the new maintenance hangar, and from the original scenery the Museum complex.

| Mountain View CPZ3 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is Mountain View, a small RCAF airfield at the eastern end of Lake Ontario on Prince Edward Island, some 40 miles west of Kingston. Mountain View is used for training during the summer months, and part of this training is for C-130 crews, who practice landing on rough or unprepared landing strips. The crews are based at Trenton, which is a large base 10 miles to the northwest on the mainland. There are (or were, I haven't seen it recently) numerous parked and ancient fighter planes such T-33's and Canadair Tutors; these could also have possibly been used for summer training or perhaps were just stored. Last summer there were only two hangars left standing; in 2002 there were five. In real life you would be on the lookout not only for C-130's but also (at certain times during the summer) for parachutists and also gliders. This airfield is one that you will fly over and not land on; I confess that I have cheated with the length of the 06L-24R gravel "practice" runway, so that it became possible for the FS version of a touch-n-go with a C-130 to be completed without using the grass. The aerial photograph shows the new "practice" gravel runway under construction.

| PASN St Paul Island in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is St Paul Island airport, plus the town and the harbour which has featured alongside Dutch Harbor in the tv series Deadliest Catch.
St Paul is in the Pribilof group of five islands around 250 miles north of Dutch Harbour. The town has a population of less than 600, so a lot smaller than Dutch Harbour and with only one processing plant, Trident.
The Ai includes a PenAir flight, a Coast Guard C-130, and Coast Guard helicopters; sea AI includes a fishing boat and a Coast Guard cutter. The Coast Guard C-130 and helicopter flights are to Dutch Harbor, so both sceneries are required to make it work as it should. The airport has 6,500 feet of 150 feet wide asphalt with 1,000 feet of over-run at each end, aligned 36/18, lit, and with two aprons at the southern end. There is no hangerage except for Coast Guard helicopters. Runway 36 has at its northern end a hill.
In real life the runway slopes up to the north by over 60 feet, but in FS9 it doesn't; hence the change in airport elevation to 80 feet ASL to get the northern end at least partly out of a box canyon. There is fuel available and it is dispensed from a truck, there are no pumps.

| Buffalo Narrows CYVT in Saskatchewan, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Buffalo Narrows is a small town (around 1,400 folks) 130 miles west and a bit north of La Ronge in Saskatchewan, and I discovered that the Buffalo Narrows airfield, wrongly positioned in FS9, had been flooded out by Ultimate Terrain's lake; this is the rescue package. Actually that would be several lakes as the place is surrounded by water including Churchill Lake, Little Peter Pond Lake, and of course Big Peter Pond Lake.
There are two runways, the longest being 5,006' of 100' wide asphalt aligned 11/29, and the other 2,297 and 75' wide, also asphalt. Both runways are lit, and there is JetA and 100LL fuel available. I have placed taxiway lights, but I haven't made proper signage or placed runway lights, or a ton of other things, but it is now landable and with the buildings and fire chemical retarder tanks etc, and there is AI that includes a CL-415. The roads have also been modified to fit.

| Ruissellet Strip CF03 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ruissellet Strip is in Ontario just a few miles southeast of ottawa. It is a real grass strip, cut out of the trees next to the house of its owner, and close to Russel Farm and Indian Creek (both also real, and posted). This version has a different name as I misread the name on the road map, so it replaces Russellet which should be deleted from your system. This version has the right hangar now that I revisited and identified the correct hangar photo that I took the first time I was there. Drat.

| Chisasibi CSU2 in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Chisasibi is in northern Quebec on the east shore of James Bay, 60 miles from the corner of James Bay and Hudson Bay. Originally called Fort George and founded at the mouth of La Grande Riviere around the Hudson Bay trading post that was established in 1803, the town had to move 5 miles upstream in 1981 when the Quebec hydro project increased the flow rate of the river. The name was changed to Chisasibi at the time of the move (Chisasibi = Great River in Cree) and the population (750 as early as 1940) has now grown to around 2,000. There is a paved road east to Radisson that connects to the north-south James Bay road, which was built at the time of the hydro project work. The original Fort George airport runway is still visible but not usable, just south of the original town site. Chisasibi airport is to the west of the new town, and the gravel runway is 3,792 feet long and aligned 14/32, which is approximately parallel to the river. There is officially no fuel available, but there is JetA on site for Air Creebec in a tank protected by used fuel drums (filled with sand?). The terminal and the garage building are both relatively new; the terminal dates from 2002 and has unusual touches. There are two AI flights by Air Creebec each day plus other private planes.
