Rampart Airport (PFMP) V2 v2.1
Yukon River Airports in Alaska #18
Rampart Airport is a state owned, public use airport located one nautical mile east of the central business district of Rampart, Alaska. Commercial service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program until 2016. Rampart Airport one year traffic totals for the airport are 350 aircraft operations, an average of 29 per month: 71% air taxi and 29% general aviation.
Rampart was established in 1897 as a supply point for gold placer mines in the hills and creek valleys south of the Yukon River. News of gold strikes in nearby creeks like Minook Creek and Idaho Bar triggered a rush to Rampart in 1898, swelling the population to as high as 10,000. During its heyday, Rampart had hotels, saloons, a library, a fire department, and various businesses. However, the boom was short-lived, and by 1903, only a Native community remained.

This airport was created using Standard Asobo/Microsoft libraries found in the sim. I also used the FREE UK2000 Common Objects Library and the FREE Emerald Objects Library found in the sim Market Place. (both coming soon in the 2024 Market Place) If you have not previously installed these libraries in your Community folder, some objects may not be visible in your sim. Remember, you only have to install these one time. All Microsoft World Updates should be installed also.
Easter Egg installed.
