Arctic and Antarctic World update

Canada’s arctic is sorely missing lots of airstrips, abandoned or not, all usable. I am slowly working my way through the DEW Line sites and adding a few, some of which are coming available on flightsim.to.

Also some small communities too, like Nain, Labrador, or Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, which have a grass texture where the gravel airstrip is. These are now available as mods.

I think the lack of flying is partially due to a lack of airfields, on both continents, in the default sim. Last autumn, enjoyed flying along the Antarctic peninsula with mods.

Every airliner captain should see the YouTube video on Icelandair landing a 757 on the ice strip in Antarctica. Gives a new destination for those airliner aficionados :slight_smile:

UPDATE: Two Icelandic airlines have landed on the ice, one a B757 and one a B767.
