Teslin airport is missing from Flight Simulator and so I took a stab at custom buildings and this version includes the custom built, Nisutlin Bay Bridge which crosses Teslin Lake and is one of the longest in the Yukon. It is a local landmark and you can see it on the Welcome to Tesliln Village sign at the airport office.
Teslin is located at Historic Milepost 804 on the Alaska Highway, 163 miles northwest of Watson Lake and 111 miles southeast of Whitehorse. I have flown most of the Alaska Highway and it is the safest route to Alaska in a single engine airplane, and is blessed by the numerous longish runways that were used to bring in men and supplies to build the Alaska Highway back in 1942. It was feared that Japan would strike Alaska and so this 2, 232 km route was built in 8 months over muskeg and in some very harsh conditions.
The runway is gravel but is lit and has approach aids. I am not sure if it actually has taxi lights, but I assume, since the winters are very dark and long, that it might.
This project also uses airplane models from JP Fillion, which he has kindly granted permission for me to use. You can find them on his site or by copying this link. http://www.jpfil.com/quebec-fs2020/collections.htm

I stopped through here about 25 years ago while I was ferrying a Cessna 206 back to Minnesota. I remember it well. It was late February, and there had been a bit of a warm spell there. The gravel runway was about as soft as you could imagine it to be. I went into town to get some food, and that's where I had what was arguably some of the best spaghetti I've had in my life. Thanks for the hard work on the scenery!

The Yukon is a secret Canadian playground for flying. Thanks for your story and the 5 stars as well. I will have to try the spagetti next time I go through there.

ModelLib.GBL is used here, it may cause freezes and crashes as pointed out by ASOBO 😊 perhaps update that next time you work on the scenery as it looks great on screenshots above!
