    Description

    New ownership.http://www.mackaybarranch.com  See website

    Nice grass strip.  Parking at the south end in a circular area on basically their lawn.  Just push your aircraft back to make room for others coming or going.  We landed south and took off south.  Be configured and on speed before getting to 90 degree bend in river on short final.  On departure to the south, there are two other nearby strips and slightly lowering terrain.  Others were taking off to the north, but that doesnt seem to leave you many options.  Watch for sprinklers on the edge of runway.

    Update 2015: Mackay Bar is no longer open to drop-in traffic.  Get permission before landing.

      Approach and Landing at Dixie Town, ID - airstrip in the Idaho backcountry with a Super Stinson 108-2.

      Dixie Town is a wonderful place to drop in and enjoy the great people (the lodge has a great breakfast too). If winds allow, land Rwy 35 and takeoff Rwy 17 (I had about a 10kt tailwind on this landing). Also, Dixie USFS is about 4 miles to the SW.. Hazards include; rising terrain, density altitude, and canyon / mountain weather. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side. Also, make sure your piloting skills are top notch prior to landing.

      Approach Into Mackay Bar

      Here's one of many approaches and landing into Mackay Bar, an airstrip
      right next to the Salmon River. The airstrip is pretty long and wide,
      but the approach is blind until the turn to final. There is no airborne
      abort point for this strip, unlike Allison Ranch and Whitewater Ranch.

      Landing Mackay Bar, Idaho for breakfast June 2012. BCP 2012 You can stop the video at 2:00. It runs for 7 minutes.....I forgot to stop the camera and I didn't want to edit/degrade the footage.

      Takeoff at Lower Loon - U72 - airstrip in the Idaho backcountry with my Super Stinson 108-2.

      This is a one way in and one way out - no go around airstrip that is only 700ft long. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side.

      There is a very cool hot springs up the trail about a mile from the strip. If you have time, it's a must. Also, make sure your piloting skills are top notch, many planes crash at these strips every year.

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

      If you enjoy my clips, please let me know.
