Merrill Field Airstrip
800 Merrill Field Dr, Anchorage, AKTel: (907) 343-6303
Established in 1930, this airstrip was named for pioneer aviator, Russel Hyde Merrill. These 436 acres act as the landing strip and tie-down area for 880 of the nearly 10,000 private planes owned in this city. This airstrip provides access for MediVacs with a direct route to one of the hospitals. Russel Merrill spent his brief life flying life-saving missions for this state. When he mysteriously crashed at age 32, his generosity wasn't forgotten. No admission is charged to view the 800 daily takeoffs and landings (in summer).
