The Anchorage ARTCC welcomes you to another installation of VFR OPS. This time we are featuring the King Salmon airport on October 7th, 2015 from 2330-0230 Zulu (1530 AKDT, 1930 EDT). PAKN is located at the top of the Alaska Peninsula and serves as the gateway to this region of the state and Katmai National Park. Just south of the airport is the Naknek River, which is home to multiple seaplane operators. Come join us on wheels or floats for a fun evening of VFR OPS and as always IFR operators are welcome.
Our recurring events feature tower controlled airports, located in rural areas of Alaska. Whether it’s passenger, mail, cargo or emergency medical transportation, residents in bush communities require necessary services. Our featured airports serve as hubs that provide the essential link between small villages and the rest of the world.
