PISTOL CREEK, ID

This is a private airstrip.  Do not land without prior permission.

The following information is from http://www.eaa103.org/member_stories/pistol_creek.html 

"The Pistol Creek Runway is part of the Middlefork Ranch Inc.’s 220 Acres (ex homestead).  The Pistol Creek airstrip has one end (landing end) near the bank of the Middlefork of the Salmon River. The runway is about 2500 feet long at about 4800-4900 ft altitude, with the highest end up-river.  The river at the start of the runway is flowing just about magnetically north and the runway heading at the river (landing end) is about 215 degree magnetic.  The runway heads away from the river at about a 20 degree angle and goes slightly uphill—it is about 50 feet higher at one end than the other.  So the process of approaching the landing makes the heading almost magnetically south over the river and one is flying up river.
