      Challenging Arizona Airstrips - Takeoff Red Creek Airstrip

      Tonto National Forest, 1200ftx??, soft sandy ungraded surface. While the field was short I elected to use soft field technique for takeoff given that I did not need to clear an obstacle at the end of the runway. Date of video: 5 April 2014. Aircraft: Cessna 150J O-200.

      Challenging Arizona Airstrips - Landing Red Creek Airstrip Cessna 150

      This video is of a landing at Red Creek, a very small dirt/sand airstrip in the Tonto National Forest, Arizona. Red Creek lies on a bluff just over the Verde River. There is only one way in and one way out. This landing was by far the most challenging of all airstrips I have flown in to. The surface is very soft and uneven. The runway is 1200ft long, width unknown with a rise toward the west. Crosswinds from the south are common, as was the case on this day. The aircraft flown was a Cessna 150J. On retrospect it would have been wise to have held the nose wheel off for as long as possible given the soft sandy surface, fortunately I did not bend anything. This airstrip has had three accidents in the last year. You don't have to have a tailwheel airplane to enjoy flying in the bush!

      Flying Arizona - Red Creek

      Arizona's backcountry is amazing and this dirt strip at Red Creek on the Verde River is possibly #1 in my books for beauty and challenge. Be sure to read the information provided by Arizona Pilot's Association at azpilots.org under "backcountry strips". This video is not offered as instruction, rather only to provide a closer look at the strip and surrounding terrain.
