There does seem to be something wrong here.

When I was in Alaska a few months ago I observed:

1) Ted Stevens Anchorage Int Airport (busy international airport)
2) Lake Hood seaplane base (biggest seaplane base in the world)
3) Merril Field (secondary airport for Anchorage)
4) Elmendorf Airforce Base (lots of figher jets coming and going)
5) Fort Richardson (military airfield)
6) Campbell airstrip

all within about a 10 mile radius of Anchorage!

Did you get that? Six (6), that's "s" "i" "x", six aerodromes in a 10 mile radius !!!!!

Lots of aeroplanes coming and going with what appearred to be a minimum of fuss and bother.
