FS2004 Scenery--Mackar Inlet (CWMI) in Nunavut, Canada. This was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on the west shore of the Melville Peninsula, which is part of the northern Canadian mainland; the station was closed only in 1992, so is relatively intact. Hall Beach is 120 miles to the east, on the eastern shore of the peninsula, and Kugaaruk is just over 100 miles to the west. The runway is still there and is around 3800 feet of gravel 110' wide, aligned 164T/344T and at 100 feet ASL. The station buildings are up on the hill at 1350 feet ASL and 5 miles to the south. This closes the gap to Hall Beach; though there are other DEW line stations in the vicinity there isn't enough information available to make them. By Roger Wensley.
