Ketchikan, Alaska - As most have likely noticed, the paving of
the new helicopter landing facility at Wolff Point in Ketchikan
has been completed. The USCG District 17 worked for more than
three years to establish a helicopter pad at an optimal location
in Ketchikan.
The new helicopter
landing facility at Wolff Point. Across the Tongass Narrows,
the lights of Ketchikan International Airport can be seen in
this evening photograph.
Wolff Point - a former landfill
that has been capped and graveled - is a scenic turnout that
is located directly between the North Tongass Highway and the
Tongass Narrows, approximately one mile north of the hospital.
The helicopter-landing pad's
perimeter lighting will ensure the safety of the helicopter crew
and passengers.
