Cape Newenham LRRS Airport (EHM)

Cape Newenham LRRS Airport (PAEH) operates as a specialized Long Range Radar Station facility serving the remote Cape Newenham location on Alaska's windswept coast, positioned at coordinates 58.65° latitude and -162.06° longitude on a dramatic headland jutting into the Bering Sea approximately 150 miles southwest of Bethel. The airport supports critical infrastructure for the U.S. Air Force's North Warning System, providing aviation access to one of the most isolated radar installations in North America, where personnel monitor vast expanses of Alaskan and Arctic airspace for national defense purposes in one of the continent's most challenging environments. The facility operates in extreme conditions characterized by powerful winds, frequent storms, and limited seasonal access, requiring specialized aircraft operations and robust ground support capabilities to maintain the radar station's essential national security mission. The airport serves as the primary transportation link for military personnel, contractors, and essential supplies accessing this strategic installation, where modern radar systems provide early warning capabilities protecting North American airspace from potential threats approaching across the Arctic and Pacific regions. Operational services focus exclusively on supporting military and contractor operations at this classified defense installation, with restricted access requiring proper security clearances and coordination with Air Force personnel responsible for the Cape Newenham radar facility. The airport represents a crucial piece of America's northern defense infrastructure, demonstrating aviation's essential role in maintaining national security capabilities in Alaska's most remote and strategically important locations, where radar stations serve as the first line of defense monitoring some of the world's most sensitive airspace along the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary.
