      flying into big creek idaho U60 p720

      Flight into Big Creek airstrip Idaho U60. The elevation is 5,700ft and the runway is long at 3,500ft surrounded by 9,000ft+ mountains. The ski jump runway and close in mountain slopes look to be a challenge but is not that tough. On take off one is literally launched into the air and out into the valley high above Big Creek The location is very isolated and beautiful spot for a fly in camping trip. The impressive new lodge should be open later this year. We will be back for a longer stay.

      A evening landing from USFS Fish Lake (S92) airstrip in the Idaho backcountry with a Super Stinson 108-2.

      This is a one way in and one way out - no go around airstrip that is 2650ft long. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side (downdrafts are common mid day). Amazing area, very remote, and lots of wildlife. Also, make sure your piloting skills are top notch, seek qualified backcountry and mountain flying instruction.

      Also, please support the IAA and the RAF, as they aid in keeping these beautiful places open to backcountry pilots.

      Big Creek, ID (U60) - Approach and Landing

      Approach and Landing at Big Creek (U60) in June in a Cessna 182. There are several ways to approach this landing, and since it was my first time we took the extended route flying through the bottom of the mountain for a nice long approach. You can make a shorter left base if you are familiar with the terrain, or the mountain also supports a right base if you can turn around in the bowl to the north of the airstrip. As always use lots of caution and careful planning when going into new mountainous airstrips.
