Alaska
Alaska is a state of the United States in the northwestern America. The scenery of Alaska is characterized by the cold climate and the many mountains and shorelines. Like any US states, Alaska is covered by plenty of airports and air stripes.
There is many ways to see Alaska from air. For example make VFR flights from air strip to air strip (e.g. in a seaplane) or IFR flights between the state cities or interstates. A major airline is the Alaska Airlines with a main fleet of Boeing 737s.

Major cities and airports
Anchorage is the largest city in the state. The city airport, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC), has a high-detailed scenery. Among its many approaches you may try the Highway Visual Rwy 25R/Seward Visual Rwy 25L.
Fairbanks. The city airport is the Fairbanks International Airport (PAFA). Somewhat untraditional there is a 5400 ft long water runway in the middle of the airport area.
Juneau is the state capital. There is no roads leading in or out of Juneau, so the only way to reach the city is via sea or air. The city airport is the Juneau International Airport (PAJN). Try one of the very difficult circle-to-land runway 26 procedures in a heavy jet (the runway has no straigt-in approaches due to obstacles).
To-do: PADU, 47AK, PAGY
Comments:
A lot of AI aircraft dont shoot the Juneau 26 appr properly, as ATC assigns straight in landings...so a lot of Ai arcraft will keep going missed until they disappear, because they cant descend fast enough and dont circle to land.Fly from Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage, adjacent to Ted Stevens Intl. It's the largest floatplane base in the world. Also do a tour of Denali (Mt. McKinley) from Talkeetna. real world base for many of these flights!
Try flying from AQY. Some "interesting" terrain to inject a little excitement into your flying!
Take off from Rwy 2 at PAGY. Because of terrain you have to turn right a bit before you make the left traffic pattern. make sure you give yourself enough room to make the left turn. It was established after a plane stalled trying to climb above the mountain and crashed. Have fun.
Here's the remark for PAGY Rwy 02:
DEPG RY 02 REQUIRES A HIGH PERFORMANCE CLIMB DUE TO TERRAIN. ACFT DEPG RY 02 MAY DOGLEG TO THE EAST BEFORE TURNING CROSSWIND TO INCREASE ALT. WHEN DEPARTING RY 02 MAINTAIN RY HEADING FOR AT LEAST 1/2 MILE BEFORE DOGLEGGING TO THE EAST TO AVOID NEARBY SCHOOL AND PLAY GROUND.
the comment about aircrafts who cannot descent fast enough is false because the aircrafts AI go throu mountains
Ha ha... 47AK
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DONT READ THIS!!!!!
Sory you may not stop reading ar you will die in 10 mins.
