Tin City LRRS Airport

Tin City LRRS Airport [2] (IATA: TNC, ICAO: PATC, FAA LID: TNC) is a military airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) east of the historic location of Tin City, in the Nome Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska.

Its mission is to provide contractor access to the Tin City Long Range Radar Station for equipment servicing and other requirements.

With the manned radar station's closure in 1983, the airstrip now provides access to the unattended site for maintenance personnel and other requirements.

Tin City LRRS Airport has one runway designated 16/34 with a gravel surface measuring 4,700 by 100 feet (1,433 x 30 m).

For the 12-month period ending July 9, 1980, the airport had 350 aircraft operations: 57% air taxi, 29% general aviation and 14% military.
