About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Wasilla Airport (PAWS) near Anchorage, Alaska (AK), USA. Wasilla is in Alaska, some 27 miles northeast of Anchorage and 11 miles due north of Birchwood, on the northern side of the Knik Arm. It is, like Birchwood, a small version of Merrill Field for GA aircraft and some maintenance shops along with private hangars. In FS2004 the town of Wasilla is visible and is quite large. There are a bunch of private airfields within a ten mile radius and some of these will be posted in this series, as will some other larger airfields. The main runway is around 3700 feet long, aligned 03-21 and asphalted and lit, as are the taxiways. Again, like Birchwood, there is also a shorter and parallel runway that is grass and which receives no winter maintenance; this is for winter use by planes that are on skis, rather than wheel/skis.
