Welcome to Rusty Barge Airstrip! (This is a real place)
This privately owned airstrip is approx. located 40nm north of Juneau in the Lynn Canal and 20nm south of Haines.
It's tugged away in a bay sheltered by Sullivan Island. The airstrip is rudementarily maintained and serves some cabins and small scale logging operation.
The airstrip got its name from the once beached and now rusting barge in the adjacent bay.
There isn't much here, but use it as a beatiful stop over point between Juneau and Haines/Skagway.
Pitch your tent on the airstrip ground. Some hikers have done so already and the campfire has been lit.
The runway is a north-south oriented, turf-gravel runway with an usable length of approx. 1300 feet.
Rising terrain to the west and a tricky final to the south can pose a challenge.
MSFS did not include this airstrip, there was no usable satellite image either, so I created the entire airstrip from scratch.
This scenery has been developed as a testing bed for my newly released Bush and Backcountry Libary.
You will need it for this airstrip scenery: https://flightsim.to/file/43061/bush-backcountry-library
I have tried to optimize this airstrip a good amount, but even though it's a nature scenery, it's definitely not too easy on performance.
If you experience problems, please let me know.
A 45nm flight to the north will bring you to Nugget Creek Cabin, another scenery I recently published. Check it out:

A point I always found important to get out. Imagine the flight simulator world without the amazing work of your freeware creators. Imagine the amount of resources, time and skills that go into making all ours sim world so much more enjoyable. Imagine how motivating for all those creators it is to get all your feedback, comments, appreciations and support - and it definitely is. Consider giving back to all those people who make all of this possible. A nice comment, valuable feedback and/or a donation means the world to us. Even small donations help with maintaining/keeping hard drive space, materials & textures, software subscriptions, and and and.

Hey,
your work seem pretty awesome but, sadly, don't know if it's because of recent update but, some 3D elements are missing ; the wreck, all cabins, some vegetation, no 3D visible 😞 But for exemple, the truck is
I really hope you could find some times to repair that ! Thanks anyway, bye
(I can send you screenshot to show you)

I love all your Alaskan scenes. They look very good, are challenging and sometimes a bit frustrating. It gives you a real bush flying feeling.
