      Challenging Arizona Airstrips - Double Circle Ranch

      You will not find this one on any sectional. Nestled in the valley at Eagle Creek, Arizona this strip sports a landing width just wide enough for most landing gear. This video is from a landing on runway 17 in a Cessna 150G. Slightly rising terrain can be seen off to the right side of the approach end, a culvert exists just beyond the threshold. On climb out watch out for the building and water tower which sit at the departure end of the strip.

      500' Runway Extension at Red Sands Ranch airstrip 1XS4

      New runway extension nearing completion to bring the total length to 3300' at the 1XS4 airstrip. The main reason for the extension is to bring the high point of the terrain to the halfway point of the strip so that landing in either direction provides an uphill flare and rollout.
