| 8AK7 - Bullen Point - Alaska North Slope 7 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and now east of Barrow. There will be further additions. Bullen Point is a DEW station Air Force base 240 miles east of Barrow and 75 miles east of Oliktok. The runway is just under 4,000 feet of gravel and aligned 05-23; this is approximately at right angles to the default FS9 alignment and how that came about is something I doubt Bill Gates could explain. Most of the DEW buildings have now been removed (including the large hangar, which is unusual) but as I had a layout I made the whole site as it was originally, way back in the days when the north slope was still a wilderness. The AI is one day a C-130, on another a Cessna, and on a third a DC3. When I started this North Slope series it was my intention to create the full monty and make all the oil and gas installations and Deadhorse airport etc. I have come to realise that the oil side is impossible to make. There is so much of it and each bit is as time consuming as Heathrow while the actual airfields are more like Rockcliffe CYRO, so a lot of effort for what is just background to an adjoining airfield. But at the same time, if I make the new airstrips it is impossible NOT to make the oil installations as they are the dominating feature. So no new airstrips, and this is going to be just the 1960's or 1970's, when the oil business was only exploratory and the airfields were for villages or DEW stations, and Harmon Helmerick had his dirt strip on the Colville River estuary and was guiding hunters and fishermen and had just started to help out Sinclair Oil with oil exploration in 1966. Read his book. Download my previous post of his field.

| Alaska North Slope 9; Point Hope PAPO |
|

File Description:
The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west, south, and east of Barrow on the North Slope. There will be further additions. Point Hope is a village on a spit of land that is one of the oldest and continuously inhabited places in all of North America, not just the polar regions. The "Point" is what brought this about, migrating whales passing close to land as they rounded the point, and the traditional way of life continues to this day. The population is now around 670. The airport surpassed all my expectations of FS9. Go look at the area before you install this. The first thing you will notice is that FS9 does not list Point Hope PAPO. The town is there (way too big and in totally the wrong place) and the airport background is there (wrong place of course) but there is no airport! Some buildings, but no runway, no apron, nothing that can be used by a plane?!? In real life the town is 3 miles east of the point, the runway is situated between town and point and, unusually in the north, is asphalt. This is presumably possible because of the gravel make-up of the point itself, with very little vegetable content and the warming sea restricting permafrost movements. 4,000 feet of 75 feet wide asphalt, lit, PAPI at both ends, and aligned 01-19. The building that appears to be wrongly situated away from the apron is like that intentionally; it is a helicopter hangar (not used in winter?) and they presumably did not want the apron traffic to get in their way. The AI has daily flights by ERA, plus Northern Air Cargo, and some GA.

File Description:
This is a redesign of OOK - Toksook Bay Airport, Toksook Bay, Alaska. Google Maps and Skyvector have been used to provide the correct (as physically possible within FSX and ADE) position, size and type of runway, aprons and buildings. The immediate surrounding scenery has been included. ADE used to compile the design.

| Fairbanks International PFAF Float Base in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the floatplane base which is part of Fairbanks International Airport, PFAF. It has a separate PAFX identifier here due to the limitations of AI in FS9. Though it doesn't come close to the activity level of Lake Hood in Anchorage Alaska it is still a fairly busy place. In Fairbanks there is this floatbase, Chena Marina to the southwest, Chena River to the northwest, and Metro Field to the east between Fairbanks and the river. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada, and you must first install the version of Fairbanks International PFAF by William Morgan, as this scenery was the starting point for the floatplane base scenery, and without it the result would be disappointing. There are scenery and land class files, files that modify PFAF, AFCAD for AI, and a traffic file.
