    Description

    Grapevine was closed to public use in June of 1997. In February of 2012, after nearly 2 years of negotiating with the FS we, that's the APA and RAF, have received special permission to open the site to the public every third weekend of each month, and this remains the situation today. The APA has placed a fire ring with cooking grate, picnic tables, and leases a Port-A-John for the site from September through May of each year, also providing a volunteer camp host. This year we submitted a maintenance plan to the District Ranger, who has become a real friend of the pilot community, as we work towards placing this gem back on the charts and increase available use days. Check the APA's calendar for the open weekend schedule at www.AZPilots.org and download the pilot briefing under the Resources tab. This is an asphalt airstrip accessing a beautiful area that is closed to all other access except aviation. The lake is a 1400' walk from the north end and it is an incredible place just 20 minutes east of Phoenix! We need your donations to provide some necessary maintenance we have committed to, please help us keep this strip open! https://azpilots.org/more-resources/backcountry-donations

      KFFZ - Grapevine

      Took off from Falcon Field in a 1966 Cherokee 140 to the Grapevine fly-in in Roosevelt Arizona. It was a beautiful day to fly. Grapevine is an old forest service runway, and with the help of the Arizona Pilots Association we are able to utilize this strip once a month.

      There was roughly 30 planes that showed up this month, largest turnout yet. Landed right on the numbers for an awesome short field landing.

      KSDL - 88AZ | Grapevine Airstrip | C172N

      Join my brother and I as we fly from Scottsdale Airport (KSDL) to a tiny, private airstrip near Roosevelt Lake called Grapevine (88AZ). This was the third flight I took after finally getting my Private Pilot Certificate. I'm happy to say that I passed the check ride on the first try. It was one of the greatest days of my life knowing that I had accomplished a life-long dream of mine. Now I am able to share aviation with family and friends at first hand. I did not film previous flights because I did not want any distractions and wanted to just enjoy them. The airplane is a 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk that I rent from Scottsdale Executive Flight Training. I hope you enjoyed the video. These videos are only for ENTERTAINMENT.

      All volunteer effort to save the Grapevine Airstrip, located on the Tonto National Forest, just 1400 feet from the shores of Roosevelt lake! Thanks to the hard work and financial support of the members of the APA, RAF, and special contributions from Crafco, Inc, and Otto Trucking, this collaborative effort with the USFS was a great success!
