9Y5 - Sky Harbor Seaplane Base - Eveleth, MN
This seaplane base is located near the city of Eveleth on Ely Lake about 2 miles southeast of the town. It is also about 1.5 miles NE of the Eveleth Municipal Airport (see my other recent projects!). This base is located on the Southeastern shore of the lake. It has two listed runways each about 5000'+ which criss-cross on the lake.
Notes:
- Added four parking locations, three in the water and one in one of the open hangars
- Static aircraft added (a couple from the totof aircraft library). Most are default asobo float planes.
- Hangars added - Some are open hangars from the Windhover open hangar library. Thanks again to Windhover for making these available!
- Small amount of night lighting added. All I can find from RL photos is a single street light by a hangar. There isn't much of a reason to approach this field at night - go to KEVM instead.
- Various scenery objects added for realism.
- Comm frequency added. CTAF on 122.7
- Some years ago, the grass strip across the highway was also part of the field under a different identifier. While that identifier is no longer around, the grass strip looks usable but not official as part of 9Y5.
Installation:
- Extract the package from the zip file and install to your Community Folder.
As always, thanks for flying in Minnesota! Enjoy vacation land "up north".
Very nice work I really enjoyed it and made a video of it wont be up for a day or so though, I can confirm no issues using SU8 at all.

I didn't look at KHIB. I wouldn't be surprised that there isn't much there. Most airports I've fixed so far have nothing but a flat surface.
