Scenery:
In the default scenery, Peawanuck airport exists. This scenery adds scenery to the airstrip and the surroundings, including scenery within the town of Peawanuck to the north of the airstrip. This scenery was created using information from the Canadian Flight Supplement and Canada Air Pilot (expired editions), and an examination of various internet mapping sites. At this time, this scenery uses only default SDK elements and each has been placed at appropriate locations by examining the information sources listed above and personal memory.

History:
Peawanuck was created in 1987 after the Winisk Flood forced the Cree Weenusk First Nation to abandon the site. Peawanuck is 33 km upriver from Winisk where approximately 210 people now reside. Peawanuck means "flintstone" in Cree. It is the headquarters to Polar Bear Provincial Park. There are no all-year roads connecting Peawanuck with the rest of Ontario. Therefore, the airport is a key connection to the rest of the world, including to medical services in Timmins or Kingston.
