    Description

    Oakridge State Airport is a well maintained state airport located on a bluff overlooking the town of Oakridge. The runway is 3610x47', and is well-maintained. The runway dips in the center, causing a slight optical illusion on final. On approach to runway 09, there is a peak to the right of final, and a slope toward the threshold. There is also a small clump of trees off the approach end of runway 09. It was necessary for me to use an angled final, and turn once past the trees. Very similar to Toledo State. There aren't any parallel taxiways, and the only entrance/exit to the runway is near the approach-end of runway 27. Though the approach is more sporting, runway 9 is more efficient to arrivals, and 27 for departures, assuming calm wind. The ramp is in fair condition, with several tie-downs and a port-a-potty. It's not clear that there is any efficient means to get into town from the airport.

      Wakonda beach State Airport , Oregon (R33)

      A review of the Wakonda Beach State Airport, Oregon Coast (R33).
      This is a 2000 X 30 feet, grass airport.
      It is a more demanding airport and, good review of the comments and, remarks, is highly recommended.
      This airport will challenge your short, soft field techniques but, is quite rewarding as well.
      Happy Flying.

      P.S.: I have mistakenly marked it as S33 but, it’s actually R33.
      Sorry.

      Owyhee Reservoir State Airport, 4/3/2016

      We had a few days of beautiful weather, so we headed to SE Oregon. The strip at Owyhee Reservoir has been on my list for quite awhile. It's a little rough, but the scenery can't be beat.
    • Too much wind

      Too much wind

      Here's just a short, fun little video I shot a few months ago. The runway for our local airport was closed for a couple days while they were using high cranes to raise portions of the bypass into place. I thought this would be a good time to shoot some video of the progress of the bypass near the airport (where I normally can't fly). Unfortunately, the wind was just too strong. My handheld anemometer was showing sustained 19-20mph winds. Clearly, my drone was fighting too hard to get any useful video. Keep in mind, the gimbal keeps the camera level even when my aircraft is listing at about 45 degrees... That should give you an idea of how it was getting tossed around.
