Tatalina LRRS Airport

Tatalina LRRS Airport (IATA: TLJ, ICAO: PATL) is a military and general aviation facility located near Takotna in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region of Alaska, United States. It primarily supports the Tatalina Long Range Radar Site (LRRS), one of the unmanned radar installations that form part of the United States Air Force's network of distant early warning and air defense surveillance stations in Alaska. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 964 feet above sea level and features a single gravel runway. Due to its remote location and primary military purpose, commercial airline service is extremely limited, and the facility serves mainly as a lifeline airstrip for the small surrounding community and radar station personnel. Takotna itself is a small community with a very modest population, making this airport one of many rural Alaskan airstrips that provide critical access to otherwise road-isolated villages. General aviation and bush flying operations are the primary civilian uses of the facility.
