FS2004 – Scenery Fort Good Hope (CZGH) in the NW Territories, Canada. This is the second in a series of airfields that follow that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. Fort Good Hope is at 268 feet asl and on the east bank of the Mackenzie, 180 miles southeast of Fort McPherson and 100 miles west of Great Bear Lake. The town has a population of around 560, and the main sources of income are from the traditional trapping and hunting. The airport is a mile south of the town, and has almost 4000 feet of gravel runway. There are scheduled flights to the town by North Wright; includes two AI GA flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field. There is a mandatory radio frequency but the “tower” has been set as unmanned so you will announce intentions and join downwind. There is no fuel available. The video only gives a general idea of the area, and is not specifically about the airfield. By Roger Wensley.
