Did anybody hear about it???
A Alaska Airlines 737-200 from Barrow to Fairbanks made an Emergency Landing yesterday around 7:45pm due to right Engine Failure... The plane was carrying cargo along with 49 passengers and 4 crew... The plane will get a different engine and will be back in service some time this next week All the passenger were put on another plane within 6 hours of the accident.

It went back to Barrow.
There isn't a whole lot between FAI and BRW.
In fact AFAIK other then Barrow the only other place that they can go up on the slope is Deadhorse, which is 175 miles away. Everywhere else is too short, or is an old haul road support airport that has long since been abandoned.
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.

You can take the pup out of Alaska, but you can't take the Alaska out of the pup.

Of course Dahl Creek would have some issues too.
As far as I can tell Dahl Creek and Galbraith lakes are the only places between BRW and FAI that you could set a 737 down, more then once.
