Petropavlovsk

fl610

Yes, it is Petropavlovsk, we used to use it to refuel on the way to Nome, Anchorage and Vancouver.

I thought it was a spectacular airport, with the 11000 ft volcano about 4 nm from the aerodrome reference point. In any sort of weather it made sure that the ILS needles were kept where they should be.

There was also a 17000ft volcano up the track from Petropavlovsk towards Nome, with a few aircraft wrecks on the slopes.

Mother Nature at its best, I enjoyed my time in the area
