KOREAN AIR LINES COMPANY, LTD., Bum Hee Lee and Bong Hyun Cho, Appellants/Cross-Appellees, v. STATE of Alaska, Motorola, Inc., Employers Insurance of Wausau, a Wisconsin corporation, Applied Magnetics Corporation, a California corporation, and Granite State Insurance Company, a New Hampshire corporation, Appellees/Cross-Appellants., 779 P.2d 333 (Alaska 1 September 1989) ("Brantley, a safety officer for the airport, testified that he had to locate and lead other aircraft that had become lost in the fog.").
At the time of the 1983 accident, the airport's three runways were numbered 6L/24R, 6R/24L, and 14/32. As of 2021[update], these are now numbered 7L/25R, 7R/25L, and 15/33, respectively, as the runways' magnetic headings are different from their 1983 values due to changes in Anchorage's magnetic declination over time resulting from shifts in the Earth's magnetic field.
