About This File
X-Plane 9.70+ Scenery--PALY Lituya Bay, Alaska (AK), USA, 1.0. Lituya Bay is a fjord located on the Fairweather Fault in the northeastern part of the Gulf of Alaska. It is a T-shaped bay with a width of two miles (3 km) and a length of seven miles. Lituya Bay is an ice-scoured tidal inlet with a maximum depth of 220 m (722 ft). The narrow entrance of the bay has a depth of only 10 m (33 ft). The two arms that create the top of the T-shape of the bay are the Gilbert and Crillon inlets and are a part of a trench on the Fairweather Fault. Note: The addition of a bush strip and small tourist facility at this location is a fantasy inclusion to allow for sim operations in and out of this location, as it lies a fair distance from the nearest registered aerodrome or seaplane base. There is however a monument on the island in the real world! By Joel Johnson.
