The runway is now charted as 4500 feet long. Was it lengthened when it was paved? I remember seeing those Alaska B-737's with the gravel kit in ANC years ago. There are still a couple of B-734 combi's flying for the Department of Energy carrying nuke materials and commandos to guard them.
Would the Saab 2000 be category B for circling?
