Idaho has many of the backcountry airstips. Here is a link to Landing at University of Idaho's Taylor ranch. It's 2000' but watch the canyon walls on final and dogleg on landing strip.

Now that was very interesting and fun to watch. I would pass. There was one comment answered on the type of plane it was in the threads. A 747 cause - well you have to read. I was laughing.

Great flying and video but why is there an airstrip at that location?
Talk about large attachments!...even the mosquito wanted out...

Fishing, camping, hiking. Some people actually live out there believe it or not!

As in REAL flying!

There are some other videos on the same site that are worth review. I know "Preacher" will enjoy these. This is RWAL flying!!
