Nikolai - Iditarod checkpoint #7
Nikolai: Population 125 -- This is the first of many Native villages along the Iditarod Trail. In 1963, the local residents cleared their own airstrip. This made year-round access to the outside world possible.
Nikolai Airport is one of 24 airstrips and airports on the Iditarod Trail that runs from Anchorage to Nome. The Iditarod Airforce is a group of pilots who volunteer their time and planes to service the 24 race checkpoints. Their missions include delivering food for the teams, picking up injured sled dogs, and many other logistical services for the volunteers who manage the checkpoints.
To learn more about the Iditarod, it's airports, and the race itself, go to the Iditarod.com website.

Installation
Copy the tn-airport-pafs-nikolai folder inside of the Zip file into your MSFS Community folder.
Many thanks to the creators of the Required and Recommended libraries. If you have not previously installed these libraries in your Community folder, some objects may not be visible in your sim. Remember, you only have to install these one time. Also, go to the sim marketplace and download the free UK2000 Scenery Common Library. All Microsoft World Updates should be installed also.
Easter Egg hidden.
Neat bit of scenery! The actual runway (excluding the apron part) is misaligned by no more than two degrees clockwise—the RNAV runway 23 instrument approach with the correct bearing is a bit awkward as a result. See: https://i.imgur.com/fsQFumo.jpeg
The other runway at your PAMC (McGrath) scenery also suffers from the misalignment of similar magnitude.

1.0.7 Temporary fix until SU10 availability.
Prior to SU8 I had created 20 airports in Alaska that were all missing from the sim. Good news: SU8 added a ton of new default airports. Bad news: it broke many of my built airports, so anyone who downloaded them after SU8 saw messed up runways, aprons, vegetation, etc. I will be re-editing all of them and republishing them to be SU10 compatible. TBA.
Also, if you are a Little NavMap, Navigraph, ForeFlight, etc user, you may have to reload these there as well.
