Thule US Air Force base in Greenland.
Another one weirdly not included in the sim.
A fine place to stop over on your way elsewhere and also an excellent choice when the world is ending, though I doubt you'll get a warm welcome unless you prove how awesome your DNA and fertility is.
This is a bit basic and blank as is but the elements are there. Most of the buildings were already in place but I've replaced a few and added some other ones.
A fuel bay, a fuel truck and a few parking spots with all the ground services are present.
Terrain twitching and pop ins, and general crapness, are a sizeable problem but this is the same in the entire region and at least this area of Greeland is recognisable as an actual location.
V 1.3 is mainly about making this Navigraph friendly. Hopefully with their tips this should now be the case. Also added are a few US military items from the sim.
The folder name has changed so if you have the old version you'll need to hunt it down and liquidate it.

Unfortunately there is a double runway!

I'll definitely give this flight another go with your scenery. I've been to Thule several times on the CC-150 as part of Operation Boxtop and it is an incredible place. Found memories of $1.25 bottles of Vodka at the BX and $3.00 Blackened Cajun steaks at the Top of the World club.
American's know how to do isolation postings right!

I spent two weeks here entertaining the troops back in the 80s. Flew a C141 from Maguire AFB to here. This is where you're sent if you've done wrong in the AF. It's called the rock. I tried finding it on the map and it wasn't there but was able to find it using vfrmap. The base was there but no runway. But here it is haha. I haven't installed it because, well it's a place you only fly to once in your life.

I would absolutely love to have been posted here. But I'm a bit strange that way.
I'm slowly improving this but it's never going to be very good. They've removed an entire layer of terrain imagery so now the land is a smudgy mess. At least it doesn't flicker any more.
Going there might bring back some memories. Or you might report me to the USAF for insulting them.

I look forward to a fix — this is a great departure point for polar flights! 😊

I will be returning to this in the next day or two to try to do a better job so hopefully the update should cure it if it remains broken for you until then.
