Point Lonely Short Range Radar Site

Point Lonely Short Range Radar Site (IATA: LNI, ICAO: PALN, FAA LID: AK71) is a United States Air Force Short Range Radar Site located in the North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska, 84 miles (135 km) east-southeast of Point Barrow, Alaska.

[2] The airstrip was built in 1957 to support the Distant Early Warning Line radar station at Point Lonely (POW-1).

In 1998 Pacific Air Forces initiated "Operation Clean Sweep", in which abandoned Cold War stations in Alaska were remediated and the land restored to its previous state.

The airstrip remains open to provide contractor support access to the military radar site.
