In the winter of 1974, the Concorde went through cold weather testing in Fairbanks.
Since WWII, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna, Eurocopter, General Electric, Gulfstream, Honeywell, Sikorsky and many other aircraft companies have tested in Fairbanks. With an 11.800 foot runway, which can handle any aircraft, an airport that rarely features a delay, and plenty of wide open air space, Fairbanks is ideal when the temp drops to -40.

We love the Arctic but have only been to NE Greenland, Svalbard, Bear Island and Jan Mayen. We might go to Anchorage one day as well. It has the advantage that’s easy to reach.
Amazing that a Concorde flew to Anchorage.
Keep well
