Located at 71° North the town of Hammerfest is regarded as the northernmost town in the world with more than 10,000 residents. During the summer months, there is continuous daylight which is the natural phenomenon known as the midnight sun, while during winter, the sun does not rise above the horizon.

This airport has a challenging approach onto a short, sloped runway sitting on a plateau above the city. Dash8-100s operated by Widerøe are the most common aircraft to visit Hammerfest coming in from destinations such as Tromso, Honningsvag and Hasvik.

Some very nice features complete this airport: PBR textures, an interior terminal model, custom statics as well as circle-to-land lighting for RWY22. Beyond the airport, Finn has also included custom orthoimagery, a mini-cityscape of the Hammerfest as well as the LNG facility.

With significant turbulence around the airport and nearby mountainous terrain, this will test your skills in difficult flying conditions, especially during the dark winter months!
