Mountain Air Jet Feeder Route 4
(Juneau Cargo Hub flight numbers 9955)
Expansion continues! No more are we stuck in the tropical parts of Alaska. PAJN Cargo has secured a lucrative Northern Alaska run. Starting in Nome and working up to Barrow, it should prove to be interesting. As winter approaches, this route will be very tough. Night is ok in Nome and Barrow, but a bit iffy in between. Suit up and make us all proud. PAJN Rules!
MAPS and Resources
PAJN pilots are professionals. No more scanned maps of the route. Time to get tough. That, and my scanner is broken. :(

This is where you earn your money! SHORT runway. Only real pilots need apply! haha
Beware of trees off the end of the runway...hate to see you clip a wing.
You may have to come in and out of here at very low fuel loads...drop into nearby Bettles to refuel if needed after this stop.
