Nikolai Airport (PAFS) v1.0
Iditarod checkpoint #7
Nikolai: Population 125 — This is the first of many Native villages along the Iditarod Trail. In 1963, the local residents cleared their own airstrip. This made year-round access to the outside world possible.
Nikolai Airport is one of 24 airstrips and airports on the Iditarod Trail that runs from Anchorage to Nome. The Iditarod Airforce is a group of pilots who volunteer their time and planes to service the 24 race checkpoints. Their missions include delivering food for the teams, picking up injured sled dogs, and many other logistical services for the volunteers who manage the checkpoints.
In the future, I hope to build a Bush Trip that follows the entire Iditarod Trail from Anchorage to Nome, about 1,000 miles. However, after this one, there are another 3 air strips and airports that I will need to develop and add to the sim. I am trying to acurately represent them all using aerial photos and images I find on the internet and from the data on the AirNav and SkyVector web sites.
