| Mackar Inlet CWMI in Nunavut, Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Mackar Inlet was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on the west shore of the Melville Peninsula, which is part of the northern Canadian mainland. The station was closed only in 1992, so it is relatively intact. Hall Beach is 120 miles to the east, on the eastern shore of the peninsula, and Kugaaruk is just over 100 miles to the west. The runway is still in good condition and is around 3,800 feet of gravel 110' wide, aligned 164T/344T and at 100 feet ASL. The station buildings are up on the hill at 1,350 feet ASL and 5 miles to the south. None of these DEW line stations are particularly impressive or even interesting. However, you can bet that any pilot flying regularly in the north along the coast knows where all these runways are, in case one of them suddenly becomes his favourite in the whole world just after the sudden silence. I should have mentioned a long time ago that to see the apron lights working (on my fields that HAVE apron lights) requires you to have the "lights_ss_v2" by Sidney Schwartz installed.

| Komakuk Beach & Storm Hills DEW sites in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the west of Tuktoyaktuk.
Komakuk Beach CWKB is not included in FS9 and is in the Yukon, only 20 miles from the Alaska border. It is, as the name suggests, close to the sea, and the gravel runway 3,600' by 125' has its western end almost on the beach.
There is no lighting and no signage and the airfield is officially listed as closed, but in fact is used during the annual maintenance and refuelling of the automated NWS (North Warning Station) close by and for any unscheduled servicing. This replaced the previous much older DEW station that was manned year round and had a lot more buildings.
Storm Hills CWSH is in the Northwest Territories, 43 miles south-southwest of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at 810 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk and has a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. It will show on a gps and it is 5 miles west of the distinctively shaped and large Parsons Lake. This too was not in FS9.

| CWCY - Cape Young - Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Young was a DEW line station on the nothern mainland coast 50 miles northwest of Kugluktuk, and 50 miles west of Lady Franklin Point. It closed in August 1993. Most of the buildings are still there, in various shades of decay. The runway is also still there and close to 5,000 feet of gravel in length, aligned and signed 110T/290T, though on the atc it will be called 07/25 as FS9 knows nothing about the Canadian Northern Domestic Airspace. There is no runway lighting, and don't be surprised if there are bushes growing amid the gravel.

| Edinburgh Island, FOX-2, Horton River, Igloolik, & Kimmirut, adapted for the FSGenesis 76m North Canada Terrain Mesh |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are replacement bgl's to convert five northern Canada fields for use with the FSGenesis 76m terrain mesh for northern Canada. The five are Edinburgh Island CWEI, the FOX-2 DEW line station, Horton River CWHR, Igloolik CYGT, and Kimmirut CYLC. These are not stand-alone, and the presumption is that you have already downloaded and installed the previously posted sceneries. This installation consists solely of replacing the existing scenery bgl's with the new. There will be further posts of northern airfields in groups of five, alphabetically, and observations regarding the amendments and any further corrections that are required would be welcomed.

| Nicholson Peninsula CWNP & Liverpool Bay CWLB DEW sites in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the east of Tuktoyaktuk.
Nicholson Peninsula is 100 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and was not included in FS9. The peninsula is sometimes more like an island than a peninsula as it is barely connected to the mainland and at times is not connected at all (see the current Gogle Earth!). At the northern end there is another long and narrow gravel bar that is formed by the tide and currents and the gravel runway is on the top of this. It is now officially closed, but is still usable. The annual refuelling and maintenance to the NSW station up on the hills is carried out from a barge that lands tanker trucks onto the shore for the drive up the existing gravel roads that have been there since the early DEW station was established.
Liverpool Bay is 50 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land at around 300 feet ASL. The NWS (there was no previous DEW station at this site) is serviced by helicopter from Tuktoyaktuk or from a barge a mile away on the beach. There is a gravel landing pad on the north side of the station. To answer your question, the three little houses on stilts are actually fuel tanks for the generators, shaped to shed snow.

| Clinton Point CWCP, Horton River CWHR & Keats Point CWKP; DEW sites in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are three DEW line sites in northern mainland Canada, to the east of Tuktoyaktuk.
Clinton Point is almost 300 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and on the Northwest Territories and Nunavut border. It is the site of a closed DEW station (closed in 1993) and all the buildings have been removed, unlike many other sites where buildings are still almost complete. The roads and the gravel runway down by the beach are still there.
Horton River is 150 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, up on higher land above the cliffs at around 500 feet ASL. The NWS (North Warning System) replaced the I site which was there previously and which ceased operations in 1963. The NWS is serviced by helicopter from a barge 400 yards away on the beach.
Keats Point is 270 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk, 7 miles from the coast but significantly close to a lake, which was probably used for float plane delivery in the summer (or ski plane delivery in the winter) of NWS station elements during construction.
