This was a Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line station until 1963. The runway outline is still visible.

This airport looks like it's a seaplane base, but it's actually a seasonal ice runway.

The US military originally built this airport in 1956 as part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line to detect Soviet bombers attacking over the Arctic during the Cold War. It is now a civilian airport with STOL air service.

Re: PVG

🔗 Thu, 30 Dec 2021
— @animebirder at Hampton Roads Executive Airport, United States

Multiple airports can have the same three-letter code in *different* organization systems. Yes, PVG is the IATA code for Shanghai Pudong, but PVG is also the FAA LID for Hampton Roads. Note that Shanghai Pudong won't *have* an FAA LID because that is only for airports within the United States.

Obviously the ICAO codes (ZSPD and KPVG) are therefore quite different.
