Ten Airplane Fields
Approved for Alaska
(Seattle P.-I;)
TSn airplane landing1 fields in Alas
ka have been definitely approved,
work started on most of. them,, and
some entirely constructed, according
to the Alaska Department of the Se
attle Chamber of oCmerce. Using
Fairbanks, where actual communica
tion with the Interior is centered.
Unding fields have been laid out
southwest, west, north and north
west, covering a huge fan-shaped sec
tion of the Territory and making pos
sible plane communication between
the interior terminus of the Alaska
Railroad and most of the important
minin sections *mrt settlements.
This has made, possible a reduction
of t he travel-line time between Fair
banks and those outlying settlements
from days under former conditions
to a few hours. The change means
much to interior business anil indus
trial activities and closer contact with
the different sections and the Outside.
Southwest of Fairbanks three fields
have been established—Lake Minchu
mina, 125 milea; Tokotna, 250 miles;
Flat, 325 miles. The. first named is to
be used largely as an emergency sta
tion. Stornjs rising from the shadow
of Mount McKinley sweep across that
part of the country frequently, mak
ing the Fairbanks-Tokotna route un
safe at times. When this occurs, avi
ators can use (he Lake Minchumina
route as a haiverv.
West of Fairbanks a field has been
approved for Ruby, >230 miles distant.
The air route, from Ruby to Tokotna
is about 100 miles. Work has been
started on the Ruby field.
