    Description

    This is a primitive strip on BLM land. It is public access and frequented by locals and hunters as a place to camp and get out of the village. Park airplanes on the North side of the runway. Softer ground for pitching tents in just across the dry creek bed. A 15 min walk will bring you to the north fork of the Squirrel River. It is cold shallow and wide. Does not seem to be many fish at this location.




    Most of the time this strip works best as a land northwest depart southwest strip, but if the winds are strong you can circle north and come down the canyon with a bit of a blind approach to land southwest. The rocks are a little larger than average sized gravel, but 8.50s would be very sufficient.



    Enjoy!

    • When Your House Has Its Own Airfield

      When Your House Has Its Own Airfield

      ► Andy & Luke Aitkins are two of the most experienced skydivers and pilots in the Red Bull athletes and just happen to have their very own private airfield next to their houses. They built the grass airstrip to be the exact size of the planes they love to fly, and now love nothing more than to spend their time flying and skydiving out of their own mini airport.

      Luke & Andy will make aviation history with #PlaneSwap! Watch live as they attempt to swap planes mid-air

    • We made a RUNWAY in our BACKYARD! (mostly...this is how)

      We made a RUNWAY in our BACKYARD! (mostly...this is how)

      👉Take our online PILOT GROUND SCHOOL✈
      https://fly8ma.com

      So for quite a while now, even before I quit flying for the airlines, I’ve wanted to live on runway. The ideal situation was to buy land and build a runway, but that was likely never going to happen due to cost and lack of land around.

      Recently we had been thinking how cool it would be to create a Pilot Lodge, a sort of flight school with onsite housing for students, focusing not just on churning out new pilots, but teaching true flying skills, making students the safest and most competent pilots possible. Of course, there’s no better place to do that than Alaska, and as luck would have it, we stumbled into our dream property. Over 100 Acres, with a home, hangar, and it’s own airstrip, just a 15 min flight from downtown Anchorage.

      Now if it was just an amazing home with a great hangar, perfect runway, and with a few guest cabins on the property for students to stay in while flight training, that would have probably been out of our price range. Honestly, after looking for years, it’s also a bit non-existant.

      So this is our new home. The runway is great for bush planes like a Super Cub, but could use some improvement for students flying 172s, the hangar could use a coat of paint or 10, we’ve got some work to do building housing for students and CFIs, and there’s plenty of house projects to go around.

      So this is our story, or at least a new chapter in our story.
      Building my dream of a hangar and home on a runway, on our runway and
      building a Pilot Flight Training Lodge in Alaska.

    • A Look Inside John Travolta's Airport Mansion

      A Look Inside John Travolta's Airport Mansion

      Subscribe for more amazing videos! ► http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Richest ◄

      Welcome back, Richest fans! Once a person becomes uber-wealthy, they tend to pick up an expensive hobby to go with it. For actor John Travolta, that just happens to be private jets. It’s pretty handy he has a massive net worth! In fact, the licensed pilot loves planes so much that he even bought a Florida house that contains its own airport! Today, we’re going to look at this mansion as well as the fly-in community it's based within. On top of that, we’ll examine some of the planes that the Pulp Fiction thespian has owned throughout his life.

      Now for the spoiler paragraph. If you like surprises we suggest you stop reading and watch the video multiple times. We start off by examining the community Travolta resides within, the Jumbolair Airport. From its history, to how it’s currently for sale and worth millions of dollars! Next, we see the household Travolta built with his late-wife, Kelly Preston. We’ll see all the facts and features including the taxiway that leads to their front door! We’ll then delve into the private jets Travolta has owned. Starting with the Boeing 707 model. It was previously operated up Qantas Airline before Frank Sinatra purchased it. We then have the Bombardier Challenger 601 that Travolta first received in 2011. It coincided with an ambassador role with the manufacturers for Travolta. Then there’s the Gulfstream II jet that almost resulted in a terrible accident! Finally, we’ll briefly look at one of the most expensive airports in the world, the Beijing Daxing International Airport in China.
