File Description:
Hazyview is one of the gateway towns to the Kruger National Park and is located just to the West of Phabeni Gate, one of the main gates to use if you are travelling to Skukuza. The airfield in Hazyview is also called Numbi Airfield due to the location of the Numbi Hotel right next to the airfield.
Hazyview airfield is not included in the default scenery of FS2004. With this package, it has been faithfully produced in Gmax with photoreal textures on all the buildings and a photoreal ground as well. Even the Lowveld mall to the North of the airfield and right on the approach to Rwy 19 as well as the Building supplies store to the south and on approach to Rwy 01 is inlcuded with custom models and textures. Likewise, the buildings to the West of the runway (right at the edge of the runway) and the brickyard at the Northern end is modeled with custom models and textures. The two large cellphone antennas are also present in the airport scenery and custom made.
In real life, the runway is quite sloped and this was also recreated in the scenery under the limitations FS2004 presents with regards to non-flat airports.
The grass runway is aligned 01/19 and only 820m long. Take-off is on Rwy 01, with landings on Rwy 19.

| Teslin CYZW in the Yukon, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Teslin is a village on the Alaska Highway around 85 miles east of Whitehorse, on the banks of the very long Teslin Lake and where there is a sizeable bridge across an offshoot of the lake. The Hudson Bay trading company established a post there in 1903. The current population is a rather meagre 120 or so and the only reason I am making this scenery is that I know one of the 120. This scenery, in addition to the terrain, village, bridge, and airport items also modifies the Alaska Highway. The AI includes a school excursion trip on a chartered Air North Hawker Siddeley 748 on Saturday. There are no scheduled flights to the field. The runway is now around 5,600 feet of gravel aligned 08-26 and with VASI at both ends. It is lit with runway lighting on the tops of traffic cones, and you will need to download the lighting library from my earlier postings of either Allakaket Lights or Anaktuvuk Lights earlier this week. 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.

| Avro York (Base Package) |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Re-upload. Used variously as a long-range freighter and/or passenger airliner, the
York was designed around the wings, engines, undercarriage, and tail
assembly of the Lancaster bomber, adding a box-shaped fuselage and a
center fin. Of a total of 253 production aircraft built, 208 initially
went to the RAF, 25 to BOAC, 12 to BSAA, and 5 to FAMA (Flota Area
Mercante Argentina). Specially fitted VIP versions were used by Winston
Churchill and General de Gaulle. After completing 29,000 sorties in the
Berlin Airlift of 1948-9, many RAF Yorks were sold to charter operators
such as Aviation Traders, Dan Air, Hunting Clan, Lancashire Aircraft
Corporation, and Skyways of London. Some of these re-acquired RAF
roundels for "trooping flights" to the Middle East in the 1950s. From
1955 onward, the Yorks were gradually withdrawn, although some soldiered
on until 1964. Two such veterans have been preserved as museum exhibits
in Duxford and Cosford in the UK. Gmax exterior model and textures by
Manfred Jahn, FDE by Paul Edwards, panel by Phil Perrott (Alphasim),
Paul Edwards, and Lars Fors. A dedicated AI version has been released
separately. The textures in this package represent MW207 of 246 Squadron
RAF, BOAC G-AGNP ("Manchester"), and Skyways G-AHEY. The Flight dynamics are
for a York fitted with Merlin-500 series engines.

| Kaltag KAL in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kaltag is a small village on the west bank of the Yukon River, around 65 miles east of the coast at Unalakleet and about 40 miles south of where the river turns from north-south to east-west, east being upstream towards the distant Fairbanks. The population is just under 200 and living from fishing and the land. The airfield is close by and has a gravel runway aligned 21-3 and just under 5,000 feet long. 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. Kaltag is located on the edge of three different airlines coverage areas, and is served by Bering Air from the northwest, ERA from the southwest, and also by Wright Air from Fairbanks in the east. These are included in the AI.
A note here about my scenery making. This is post number 507 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.

| RNAS Henstridge (HMS Dipper) |
|
File Description:
Royal Naval Air Station Henstridge or RNAS Henstridge (HMS Dipper) is a former Fleet Air Arm base located 7 miles (11 km) west of Shaftesbury, Dorset (Now Somerset) and 12.4 miles (20.0 km) east of Yeovil, Somerset in South West England.
The main part of the land (355 acres) was purchased in August 1941, after which building of the airfield and the marsh lane accommodation site commenced, it was commissioned on April 1, 1943 as HMS Dipper, principally as number 2 naval fighter school, on the 11th September 1942, another 18 acres was acquired at the adjoining gibbs marsh area for an aircraft repair and maintenance site. The design and lay-out of the airfield was quite unique, having 5 runways, 2 of these being east west lay-out (07-25) both 1000 yards long, the northern runway incorporated a dummy deck landing strip, complete with under-ground arresting gear with four above ground arrestor wires, which was a duplicate of that installed on HMS Implacable for training of aircraft carrier landings, these mainly being carried out with the Seafire, a naval version of the spitfire with folding wings. The site also had its own cinema and stage hall
March 1952 the airfield became inactive and was placed under care and maintenance, during 1953 Air whaling (now Bristow group) used the facilities for repairs to the whaling fleet of helicopters until moving out in June 1958.June 1957 it was finally closed as a naval establishment, from 1958-1960 the entire site was sold off. 27 June 1980 the BBC purchased the whole site and applied for planning permission to erect at the airfield a shortwave radio station consisting of 21 self-supporting towers holding aerial arrays and ancillary buildings on a 300-acre site. The station would transmit overseas radio services to Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and perhaps South America the application failed and the BBC sold the land during January 1987 The airfield is also the home of the wessex strut, a general aviation club formed in January 1977, which holds an annual fly in and other events their first fly-in was on 17 April 1977 and attracted 107 aircraft. As of today the only usable runway is the north 07-25 runway, extant with the concrete dummy deck, and the underground machinery chamber, it is also the home to a large number of light aviation enthusiasts aircraft as well as the Yakolevs aerobatic display team and the Dorset and Somerset air ambulance
The current airfield is operated by EGHS and is an unlicensed airfield. The only usable runway is 07/25 tarmac/concrete 750 mts long x 6 mtr wide. Henstridge radio can be contacted on 130.250 MHz, it can be found at the south eastern stub of the Yeovilton MATZ

| FS9 Fort St John CYXJ in BC Canada |
|
File Description:
Fort St John is close to the border between British Columbia and Alberta, around 40 miles north-northwest of Dawson Creek. The airport was originally a Royal Canadian Air Force base, associated with the wartime construction of the Alaska Highway. The airfield was part of this construction effort and the wartime ferrying of planes to Russia. It is currently named "North Peace Regional Airport", or "North Peace Airport"; apparently there has been no final decision?
The date for this scenery is around 2006. I was given an old video tape cassette which was filmed on an uncertain date, but which had to be before the terminal building was renovated in 2007 and totally changed in appearance. The only way to view the video was to play it in the camera and watch it on a small screen. After I had completed everything except the buildings I started to view the video to establish the building appearances and within an hour or so the camera died. It was so old there was no way to repair it, so I then made some new buildings from memory of the video and what was available online. I also used some that I had already made for other scenery but which were similar. I may replace the terminal building that is in this version with a build of the new one, as I know this one is not a very accurate reproduction. The replacement, if I do it, will be towards the end of this year.
The AI included here is for GA, Air Canada Jazz, and two helicopter companies that were (and still are?) based there. One is at the western end of the apron and the other is at the eastern end but separated from the apron. To gain access to the taxiways and runways (so that all airport users follow the same procedures, for safety reasons) the eastern end helicopters just taxi across the grass. The helicopters are used for maintenance trips to the oil and gas fields in the surrounding area. My screenshots show Westjet at the terminal; this is because I have later Canadian AI installed, while the AI included here is only for the time around 2000 to 2010, when Westjet were not flying to Fort St John.
The airport is square in plan, with the apron running along the northern side and two runways forming diagonals. The two runways are 11-29 (6,882 feet long and 200 feet wide, with ILS at the 29 end and PAPI at the other) and 02-20 (6,684 feet long and 200 feet wide, and with PAPI at each end). The eastern side taxiway that runs north-south is not used. The western side taxiway is in use but only as a race track for cars.
Please email me if you find faults, such as a plane without textures.

| St. George (KSGU) / Mesquite (67L), Utah/Nevada, Photo-Scenery (FS9 & FSX) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Covers the area between St. George, Utah and Mesquite, Nevada. To the north of St. George
the Pine Valley Mountains with their foothills of scenic red sandstone loom over the city.
St. George Municipal Airport (KSGU) is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by SkyWest Airlines
on behalf of Delta Connection. Because of it's location on a mesa this airport can't be expanded and so a new
airport is currently being built southeast of the city at the site of an abandoned airfield. The opening
is expected in 2011. To the south of the city make sure, you don't miss the Virgin River Gorge where the
Virgin River winds thru a long winding canyon in the transition zone between the red rocks of southern Utahs
Colorado Plateau and Nevadas Mojave Desert. Shortly afterwards you reach Mesquite which is situated just
west of the Arizona stateline. Like nearly all Nevada cities near the stateline Mesquite is home to several
Casinos. Mesquite Airport (67L) lies just north of the city.
High resolution versions of this scenery for FS9 and FSX (much sharper, but larger and multiple downloads)
are available at www.blueskyscenery.com/CNY_South3West6.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 .

| Sisimiut (BGSS) on the west coast of Greenland |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sisimiut is on the west coast of Greenland. It is around 125 miles south of Aasiaat, and 80 miles west of Kangerlussuaq airport, which is currently the largest commercial airfield in Greenland. Sisimiut has a population of 5,500 and the main occupations are fishing, tourism, education, and a growing industrial base. It has the northernmost year-round ice-free port in Greenland, though icebergs floating down from the north are commonplace. The airport is across a bridge and along a two mile road on the north side of an inlet, northwest of the town. The runway is 2,600+ feet of asphalt almost 100 feet wide and lit, aligned 20/02 and at 33 feet ASL, with the apron and terminal building at the eastern end. The building is identical to the one at Aasiaat. Air Greenland run regular flights with a Dash-8, Dash-7, or Twin Otters; within FS9 it is impossible to land an Ai Dash-7 on a runway less than 3,000 feet long, so I used a Dash-8. There was no way to replicate both the parking facing away from the terminal AND the "through" taxiing to complete the circle back to the runway; after parking correctly the AI Air Greenland plane will reverse before heading out to take off. The surrounding area is rock with some scruffy grass and low bushes, and there is no grass around the runway; the airfield has compacted gravel instead.

| Sachs Harbour CYSY in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sachs Harbour is on the southwest coast of Banks Island on the north side of Amundsen Gulf, around 240 miles northeast of Tuktoyaktuk and 180 miles northwest of Ulukhaktok. The village is the only permanent settlement on the island, and is located where it is to benefit from the harbour shelter provided by offshore land. The population is only 130 or so folks, who live on hunting and fishing with some tourism. One claim to fame is that the island is home to threequarters of the world's population of muskoxen and the second is the largest goose colony in North America. The airfield is on the plateau just above the village at 282 feet ASL. The gravel runway 084T/264T (true bearings in Northern Domestic Airspace) is 4,000' long and 100' wide and lit. The apron is on the south side at the centre of the runway and there is a new terminal building; there is JetA fuel available and perhaps 100LL in drums. To the west of the airfield are the deserted buildings of what was once a Department Of Transport weather station. Aklak Airlines flights (operated by Kenn Borek) fly to Sachs Harbour from Inuvik three times a week in summer and twice a week at other times; the AI will be included in the post of a revised Aklavik, and Inuvik revised and Tuktoyaktuk should be fully installed BEFORE Sachs Harbour.
