This is Cherokee Airport (AK45). I came upon it while getting the Aerocaches in this area.
It's a little dark, although only 2:30 P.M. - sorry, that's Alaska for you at this time of year. ;D
Anyway, there seem to be 5, count them, 5 runways, one next to the other. Weird.
I couldn't figure where to land, so I chose one at random.
Wouldn't you know it? 1 in 5 chance of getting it right, and I got it... wrong.
According to the Flight Map, the runway is on the far left, the first of the five. Still, landing where I did counted as an unique airport anyway. But, the runway texture is on the first. So, I went around and landed there.
But, I really can't understand what this is about. The Google image shows the same thing, so it isn't a mistake.
According to the information, the strip is owned by a couple with only 1 airplane, so what are the other 4 strips for?
Best regards.
