Juneau International Airport (IATA: JNU, ICAO: PAJN, FAA LID: JNU) is a city owned, public use airport and seaplane base located seven nautical miles (8 mi, 13 km) northwest of the central business district of Juneau,[1] a city and borough in the U.S. state of Alaska that has no direct road access to the outside world. The airport serves as a regional hub for all air travel, from bush carriers to a major U.S. air carrier, Alaska Airlines.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015-2019 categorized it as a primary commercial service (nonhub) airport based on 353,048 enplanements (boardings) in 2012.

During World War II, Juneau Airport was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a transport link between the combat bases being established in the Aleutians and airfields in the Continental United States. It was also used by Air Transport Command and facilitated the transport of Lend-Lease aircraft to the Soviet Union via Nome (Marks Army Airfield).

Check terragit scenery before flight, I installed it and see most of objects sinked.

I can't make any promises for being there quite yet, but my semester is over so I'd like to if I can make it.

I'd be doing a 757 if that will do the trick (IIRC I've tried this flight before and came up short on fuel, not to mention wondering if I can cruise with it...), and I also wonder if any improvements have been made since I was away.

[V12]

Ofcourse, You are welcome at this party. This trip is 650 nm long, it is in range of all jet liners, including allways hungry Concorde
757 can do it without any trouble, before take off use menu Equpment - Fuel and payload and adjust fuel levels in the tanks. For 757 should be enough 30 tons with large reserve.

I am trying to remember if there is some trick beyond just deleting the "master" at the end of an FGMEMBERS download to get it to recognize? (This and other planes I've got aren't showing up in the plane list despite my listing the directory location I know they're in.... And I had to install 2017.3.1 when I restored to this system from my last laptop that died). I downloaded the Jumbolino from FGMEMBERS and don't see it in my aircraft selection list. I would like to see everyone which is why I'm posting the Q here...
