About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Wrigley (CYWY) in the NW Territories, Canada. Wrigley is the fourth in a series of airfields that follow along that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. Wrigley is at 489 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Mackenzie, around 135 miles due south of Deline. The town of Wrigley has a population of only 125 or so folks, and was relocated to its current position in 1965 from Fort Wrigley to be near the WW2 airfield; no idea where Fort Wrigley is, or was. The airport is just over a mile south of the town, and has 3500 feet of gravel runway. North Wright Air have scheduled flights to here and other airfields up and down the Mackenzie (including Deline, Fort Simpson, and Fort Good Hope) which is reflected in the revised AI with a North Wright Twotter going to all four.
