Welcome to Fort Crosby!

Fort Crosby (8AK5) is a private airstrip located 12.5 nm (23.1 km) to the Northwest of Talkeetna, Alaska. It has a single gravel runway with roughly 1500 ft (457 m) usable, which makes it quite comfortable for most General Aviation aircraft. The only real restriction is on the Northern half of the runway where Dirt and Snow Berms (during the Winter) restrict wingspan and clearance.

Following in the footsteps of our previous releases, Fort Crosby has been brought to life in incredible detail, with a heavy focus on environmental and dynamic features! It is the perfect companion addon for our nearby Chunilna Cabin Strip payware and Snowflake Lake freeware!
