Fascinating - the magnetic deviation from true north at the Bethel
airport appears to be large enough that runways 18 and 36 have a
considerable slant in the Google Earth satellite image, which is
normally drawn squared with true north:

840158&spn=0.019106,0.070124&t=k&om=1

So what's the deal with runway 29??


11/29 is mostly gravel with a short paved stretch. It comes in handy when
the wind is blowing out of the east at 30 kts.

Also, not shown on that image is the fact that they are currently working
on building a parallel runway to 18/36.
