I just noticed an interesting airport in the CFS (Canadian A&FD).
I glanced at the airport diagram for CAJ2, Eagle Plains/Wiley, Yukon
Territory, and noticed that the runway was on top of a road. A glance
at the CAUTION section confirmed that:

CAUTION Rwy forms part of Dempster hwy (mile 244)

The runway is 2500x60 gravel (pavement isn't common north of 60), so
basically, the highway just gets wider for a half mile and there's a
wind sock sitting beside it. Has anyone reading this group visited
this airport (either by plane or car)? I wonder how it's signed on
the highway, and how pilots feel about fighting with trucks for the
right of way.



I have been there, by car, in 1986. On the highway are signs that say
"Watch For Aircraft Using Highway". This road is not at all busy so I am
sure there is not much trouble with right of way.

Here is a picture, taken from the north looking roughly south. There was
a small plane parked there that day.
