Alaska AI / Northern Scenery? (esp freeware :) )

Hi all:

This might be a strange request  ;) but would you know of any scenery / AI traffic that extends up to the Alaskan oil fields? For example, I know Alaskan Airlines fly up to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay, but I'm not sure if my WOAI flights go there.

I found the "Snow Dog Tour" package, but didn't know if that's only scenery or if it also includes AI traffic.

Thanks!

The only thing I can find at the moment is Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay:

You would think that Horizon Air (Dash 8s) would serve the Alaskan oil fields outside of Prudhoe Bay. but I'm not familiar with airports in that area.

Thanks Chris! I was pleasantly surprised to see WOAI has the Alaskan Air scheduled to arrive/depart from Deadhorse/Prudhoe as per their schedule, so that was pretty neat.

I also downloaded the Snow Dog stuff, but didn't see any AI activity. Any thoughts on where I need to go to see any specific changes?

Have a good day,
Barb

I would suggest you go to one of the airports and while there change the time of day to see if any traffic moves.

I work at Prudhoe Bay. ConocoPhillips and BP have 2 private 737-800 jetliners that make daily flights from Anchorage. A bunch of smaller companies run people from there to other North Slope destinations. BP also uses a Twin Otter and CASA to move people to some of the smaller, more remote fields. I can find more info for you if anyone wants it.
