NORTHERN SKY STUDIO - SEWARD AIRPORT MSFS
Another superb offering from Northern Sky Studio. I first learned of them because of their Hawai'i airports (which are great!) - then I decided it was time to branch out to Alaska, too. The airport itself is pretty neat. There are two runways, one just a bit over 2,200 feet, and the other at like 4200. The airport info says that the runways are limited to aircraft under 12,500lbs...and that you should overfly it during September and October because of possible flooding from the nearby river! This is an un-towered facility with a CTAF. There is one RNAV approach, and one RNAV departure. As for the scenery itself, the airport is well done. Lots of really detailed structures, and according to the description, shading effects on the buildings and stuff! When I took off it was overcast and the lighting was "flat" so I didnʻt get to experience those effects. Winds were calm for my first flight, so I took off from Rwy 16. Be careful of the terrain in the area (~5600ʻ within 4nm)! I ended up just climbing out on the runway heading until I as at about 6,000ʻ. The little village southwest-ish from the airport is part of the scenery, and thatʻs got some cool buildings too. If you're going to fly in Alaska, and on the Kenai Peninsula, I highly recommend this airport!
