    It looks nice, but would need to iron out the tarmac, though.

    Incredibly uneven/wavy runway and taxiways for over a year now.

    Would it be possible to fix the rough/wavy runway and taxiways?

    Don't know if you have time to dock cruise ships across the bay like in real life. Thanks

    Thanks for the airport redone. For some reason, I do not see the tower, just the 2 ac boxes on the roof. Anyway, thanks.

    great job. but I was expecting to see the famous Gravina Island Bridge, commonly referred to as the "Bridge to Nowhere" :-)

    I wanted to do it but project was cancelled (read the following)
    After canceling this $398 million bridge, Sarah Palin's administration spent more than $25 million to build the Gravina Island Highway, which would have connected with the proposed bridge
    In 2015, after consideration of several lower-cost options, the Gravina Island Bridge project was finally cancelled, an improved ferry service being selected instead of constructing the bridge
    McCain himself labeled the bridge as wasteful spending
    After canceling the bridge, Palin's administration spent more than $25 million to build the Gravina Island Highway, which would have connected with the proposed bridge. According to Alaskan state officials, the road project went ahead because the money came from the federal government, and would otherwise have had to be returned.Because "no one seems to use" this road, it has been called the "road to nowhere" by local Alaskans
    well that is another big money story

    anyway thanks for your message

    Not sure how the wavy/undulation of the taxiways, especially to RW 11 made it through testing. Very undulating and the left corner perpendicular to the RW is precarious especially for large airliners like the 737-800.

    I have the same problem. Could be a great improvement over the stock airport, but the runway and taxiways are just too rough/wavy.

    Nice scenery, well done!
    Unfortunately both taxiways leading to the tower/terminal are very undulating (wavy surface)

    Thank you for this airport! Good job! I've added it to my Alaska Airlines flights with my PDMG Boeing 737-700. Alaska Airlines offers service here from Seattle.
