This is a little sketch I did to show how I sometimes land at Big Creek. In AirNav.com Big Creek is listed as U60.

I am thinking I would like to have a flyout to Big Creek U60 on the 21st. They are trying to raise money for a new lodge there. The old lodge built in about 1932 burned down in 2008. If you are on facebook. search Big Creek Lodge. The breakfast is $10.00 each but the flight is great. About 40...

We have a bed and breakfast in our town and a courtesy car at the airport. If you want to camp there is a couple places for that. Don't let that stop you from joining in.

I was 46. Now I am 78 I have been a PPL pilot for 31 years and still going. I flew yesterday for the first time since thanksgiving.

I hope the county sheriff doesn't try that out here. If he does I will refuse to take him someplace next time he asks. :yes:

What Tony? they don't do wheat checks in the wheat fields?

I think I wrote a story one time about a boy scout project I was involved in. The scout leader had me teach a little session on flying. I did a walk around with them and then I was supposed to give them a ride. This is the article and picture out of our local paper that a family relative had...

I have several that have shown a lot of interest some from WA, OR, MT, CA. So I will be just fine it they show up. If they don't we will try it another time. :yes:

I don't know if they are still there or not, but there used to be a lot of restored aircraft in a hangar on the Branson, MO. field that that jet made the landing on when he missed the big Branson airport. Something Clark field. Some nice stuff. Beech 18, AT-6, a Stagger wing Beech, and some others.

Marvin McNeill was my special friend. He was an aircraft mechanic in WWII and helped me when I bought an airport queen 1959 182 in 1992, to get it flying. It was on the Caldwell, Idaho airport 45 miles from my home town of Vale, OR. When we got it flying I flew Marv every time I could. He had a...

We are getting some interest in the west coast fly in in June I hope you think about it anyway.

Plus you can't get to see sights like this with out a bug smasher.

I got the bugin about 1960 when I was 26 years old, but like others family, Kids, and no money made it 1980 before I started my pilots training. I love flying as it gives me a reason to get up in the morning, it gives me a reason to keep in some assemblance of shape, and lets me see some great...

If you haven't done any back country flying and plan on flying your plane into one of these strips. I recommend doing some slow flight practice. As some of these strips are short, and they are usually in the bottom of a canyon along a creek. There fore the canyon is narrow and when you turn in a...

I hope you at least give it a thought if you can make it I would sure like it a lot.

Sounds like he might of graded on a high curve!

They are trying to reschedule the class but can't find an instructor of his caliber.

It is hard to find a date the suits every one I can just set a date and hope some can fit it in. Yes that should help. I hope some plan on a fly out or two to some back country strips. I am looking forward to it.

I have a few on this board and a few on the Purple board that are talking about some plans. I like the sound of it.

The dates I have set are June 19 - 22 if you can't make those dates and would still like to fly to Bob's place let me know. We can work something out. The meet and greet is set for these 4 days.
