Anchorage Professional

Anchorage Ted Stevens International (PANC) is the most important airport in Alaska and a destination for many national and international connections. It is a hub for Alaska Airlines and an important cargo airport located conveniently between the USA and Asia. This paradise for aircraft enthusiasts and pilots is now, finally, available for P3D v4!

There is probably nowhere on the globe where aviation is as important as in Alaska. In this great state roads are scarce and limited to the major cities. The vast wilderness can only be reached by aircraft, often only by floatplane or small aircraft equipped for off-airport landings, and Anchorage International Airport ‘Ted Stevens’ is at the centre of much of this aviation. Add in the violent weather and the long hours of darkness in the winter and you end up with an airport that is in every way remarkable and well worth a superb rendering for Flight Simulator.

Lake Hood - right next to PANC, via a taxiway connection crossing several streets, you can find Lake Hood – the largest seaplane base in the world. During summer up to 800 seaplanes arrive and depart here every day, bringing anglers, backpackers and other visitors into all regions of Alaska. Many guided tours also begin here.

Z41 - next to Lake Hood there is a dirt strip 'Z41' used by aircraft that have tundra equipment attached (special wheels to enable landing on unpaved strips in the wilderness).
