    Description

    Shearer is a difficult wilderness airstrip locate within the Selway Bitterrott Wildernes on the banks of Idaho's Selway River.  The final approach is obscured by a bend in the river, making the approach difficult and rough terrain make the touch point critical.   The runway is sloped on the south end.

    Camping
    Tiedowns are located on the south end of the runway.  There are no camping amenities, but camping in the wilderness area is allowd.  Tread lightly.  Fly it in, fly it out.

      Landing at USFS Shearer (2U5) airstrip in the Idaho backcountry with a Super Stinson 108-2.

      This is a one way in and one way out - no go around airstrip that is 2000ft long by 15ft wide. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side (downdrafts are common mid day). Amazing area, very remote, and lots of wildlife. Also, make sure your piloting skills are top notch, seek qualified backcountry and mountain flying instruction.

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

      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.
