Default Yukon Crater found!

I was flight testing my brand new B-26 Marauder at 8000'-just above the
terrain, when I got fatigued and wanted to land. I saw a neat little runway
with an elevation curiously at 3800'. After not finding what I saw on my map, I
"stepped" into the thinning air outside my plane, and found that the airfield
called Horsfield was actually in a crater. The coordinates: N62* 0.85' W 141*
9.77' . Obviously I am going to switch to a helicopter to see this runway
surrounded by 5000' walls!!!
