Hey Guys,

Trying to finish the Iditarod Challenge but can't find Fort McMurray anywhere as a destination airport. Please help.

Thanks,

Maybe I wasn't clear...the airport has to exist in DVA to have a flight number...if not, it does not count as a valid flight. Ft McMurray is required to complete the Iditarod Challenge, but it is not listed as a valid destination in Find a flight.

It's probably one of the lost WestJet flights.

Ahhh. You beat me to it Luke. Yep, I looked in another logbook and saw it. I'll either add it or delete the airport from the reqquirement.

Since the airport no longer exists, I deleted it from the accomplishment. You're in the Idatarod Club now Ron! Congrats!
