Anchorage professional

Anchorage Ted Stevens International (PANC) the most important airports in Alaska and a destination of 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 Prepar3D as well! There probably is no place 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 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 per day, bringing anglers, backpackers, and other visitors into all regions of Alaska. Quite a lot of 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).

Awards/Reviews:

Conclusion by FlightSim.com:
"In summing up, I have to say that I enjoyed my time at Ted Stevens, even more so at Lake Hood. The main airport is well laid out with good modelling of the terminal buildings and associated maintenance facilities.

[..] At the end of the day, Aerosoft's Ted Stevens makes for a great starting point in which to explore Alaska. All you have to do is decide on which direction to go..."
