ANC Goes Dark

Anchorage Approach lost all it’s power Sunday morning. We’ll have to wait (as always) for the full story. One thing to keep in mind, Anchorage’s days are really short right now. And due to the fact that it’s the winter solstice, a friend just happened to post the sunrise and sunset times today. Sunrise 10:14 AM and sunset 3:41 PM.

Airport tower blacked out by power failures


”All power systems failed twice Sunday morning in the air traffic facility that guides traffic into and out of Stevens Anchorage International Airport via radar, the FAA confirmed Monday.

The failures included two back-up systems.“
