Believe it or not, Bethel is where I did my month back in April! Yes, they have a tower, and a long enough runway that Alaska Air makes 3 trips a day in/out of Bethel.

For radar coverage...Tunt... no way, neither would Kipnuk. I think Tunt is bigger too. But, Bethel does house some of the Cold War ICBM radars, and some weather radars, so maybe their coverage is better?

Anyway, since I was in Bethel, I made a pack for my medivac flights I did. shown in this thread:

Welcome to Bethel!


Probably analagous to what Kipnuk had for a runway; this is a different village, but you get the gist of how difficult it is to land.


And here's Bethel from the air. This is the "big city" in that area! This is about 1/2 the city, you can see the airport in upper left, this was on the approach pathway.
