| Fort Simpson CYFS in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson is the sixth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and Fort Simpson Island, all posted. Fort Simpson is at 555 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Liard River, close to Fort Simpson Island and where the Liard and the Mackenzie join up. The town of Fort Simpson is on an island, and has a population of 1,250 or so folks. The Hudson Bay trading post was established here in 1822. The new(er) Fort Simpson airport is just over seven miles south of the town, and has 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. It may be from the WW2 time, as it seems there was originally a second runway which has now totally disappeared, There are scheduled flights by First Air and Air Tindi, plus I have added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is a mandatory radio frequency which is for both CYFS and CET4 and in this case I have set the "tower" to "manned" so you will report position and obey instructions. There is fuel available. I have added the ferry at the crossing of the Liard River just south of the field.

| Clyde River CYCY & Cape Christian in Nunavut Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Clyde River is a village on the northeast coast of Baffin Island, 250 miles above the Arctic Circle and around 150 miles north of Cape Hooper. It is on the shore of Patricia Bay at the entrance to Cylde Inlet, a fjord which stretches over 60 miles inland. The population is around 880 folks, and it was named by the explorer John Ross in 1818. The airfield is just east of the village and the lighted runway is 3,501' of 100' wide gravel at 87' ASL, aligned 018 True 198 True; "True" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. There are two aprons, one with the new terminal building and one with the old terminal and the garage. Five miles northeast of Clyde River is Cape Christian, where there is a gravel runway around 3,000' long and adjacent to the beach, built to serve what was started as a weather station and later became a LORAN navigation system station. The station is still there, though it was closed some time ago and is now the subject of decontamination work. The runway is usable, though only for light planes as it is a bit rough. First Air and Canadian North are the AI planes visting Clyde River.

| Ulukhaktok (Holman) CYHI in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ulukhaktok (Holman) is an airfield on the west side of Victoria Island, off the northern coast of Canada. It is 320 miles west of Cambridge Bay (and you should download and install the recent post of CYCB by Sid and Pete, as I use it for the AI included in this post) and around 400 miles east of Inuvik (my post of a few months ago). It has been officially called Ulukhaktok since 2006, and before that it's name was Holman.
The village of Ulukhaktok has been placed around the bay and is approximately the right shape; it houses some 460 people who used to rely solely on hunting and fishing. The village is close to 71 degrees north, and there are only four months of the year when the average high is above zero centigrade. The photograph with snow (and of course a frozen sea) is typical; for the frozen sea download my Frozen Rivers & Lakes post which will provide this. The buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, and as in real life there is only JetA available. The AI visiting aircraft are an Aklak Air DC3 (based in Inuvik and operated by Kenn Borek Air) and a Canadian North Dash 8-100. Note that the runways are signed as "true" headings instead of magnetic; in the Canadian Northern Domestic Airspace all headings are given as true. Unfortunately FS9 doesn't accommodate this in ATC.

| Aklavik CYKD in the Northwest Territories, Canada Revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version of Aklavik replaces the previous version so delete all previous installation elements. There is also for Inuvik replacement AI, additional texture, and replacement scenery bgl; this presumes you have already installed my revised post of Inuvik. There is also for Tuktoyuktak additional textures, and replacement scenery bgl's; this presumes you have already installed my 2012 post of Tuktoyakyuk.
Aklavik is a town of 650 or so inhabitants 120 miles inside the Arctic Circle and on the West Channel of the Mackenzie River delta. It is 40 miles west of Inuvik. There are two airlines serving the town on a regular basis and one is Aklak Air, operated by Kenn Borek. Aklavik village has not been changed since my previous post, but the airfield now has the correct terminal building.
The Inuvik replacement AI involves flights to Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk and the texture and replacement bgl's are for gates that I forgot to include before.
The Tuktoyaktuk scenery now has a barge carrying the prefabricated new terminal for Grise Fiord, plus other items for the installation work. Northern terminals are prefabricated and delivered either complete or in flat-pack form to reduce construction time on site to a minimum. There is a note explaining why the terminal building is on a barge instead of being installed at its destination!

| Churchill Falls CZUM in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Churchill Falls is a small town on the Churchill River, around 230 miles north of the Gulf of St Lawrence coast and 120 miles east of Labrador City. It is a company-built town for the staff and families that work in the generating station associated with the falls. The falls were first discovered in the 1830's and work on the generating station commenced in 1967. The runway is 5,500 feet of asphalt aligned 13-31, with PAPI and approach lighting at both ends, and the apron at the eastern end. The buildings are well replicated here and the AI includes both GA flights and the daily flights by Provincial Airways, along with a medical transport service. There is a dock for float planes on a nearby lake that is no longer in regular use and officially listed as closed, but the dock remains there and is included here.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #02 Harrow CGL2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the second in a series of small airfields in southern Ontario, Canada. It is Harrow CGL2, a field near a small town of the same name close to Lake Erie. The airfield has a grass runway of 3,000 feet, with short displaced thresholds (400 feet) at each end; the south due to the trees and the north due to a road and fence. The electric cable strung along this road (unlike Leamington, with it's warning visibility spheres) is buried for a short stretch the width of the runway, but avoid the poles. The intention is that downloaders will add further posts to the earlier ones, which will avoid unnecessary texture duplication (for instance for parked cars or planes) and avoid adding yet another small field to the FS9 scenery library. The third airfield will probably be Essex CNE9, a grass field to the west of Harrow.

| Ontario Small Fields in Canada: #7 Lucan CPS4 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the seventh in a series of small airfields in southern Ontario Canada, Lucan CPS4; plus revised AI and parking for #6 Nixon CNX8 to include a crop spray plane (the Grumman 164) which I have just identified from a photograph; plus a note re an addition required to the different crop spray aircraft (the AT802) config file so that it parks correctly at St Thomas CYQS.
Lucan is 15 miles north of London Ontario, and 20 miles southeast of Lake Huron. The airfield is the base for a small crop spraying business and has a grass runway of 3,100 feet aligned 09/27, and with lighting. The overhead cables that previously imposed a 550 feet threshold displacement on the runway 09 approach (up to and including 2010) have now been buried. The lighting is owner-controlled and cannot be turned on from the air. Fuel and oil is available. The crop spray plane is a Grumman G164A Ag-Cat, which was manufactured in the 1970's and remains in use with a lot of owner-operators.

| Herb's field near highway 417 in Ontario Canada |
|
File Description:
Herb's field is an unlicensed grass strip near a junction and a gas station on highway 417, some twenty miles west of the Ontario/Quebec border. I saw it a while back from the air and forgot about it, then saw it again when I was driving along the highway. Couldn't miss it because of the two red and white checkerboard hangers. So here it is.

| XB70 VALKYRIE in PAN AM fictionnal early scheme |
|
File Description:
Fictionnal PAN AM early livery for Alphasim XB70 Valkyrie. These two Pan AM repaints ( early & later ) are a "one shot", just wanted to try such schemes on this beautiful bird.
In the 60's, North American did a study to develop the possibilities for an early American SST based on the XB-70 airframe, with a seating potential between 36 and 76 passengers.
Plane by Alphasim
Both textures sets work in FS9 and X.
