ragedracer1977 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 Driven by this field many times on my way to hunt the Kaibab Plateau. As far as I know, this is the only airport where you can fly over the Grand canyon below 3000' AGL. Its not much of a canyon, but it is the very beginning of the G.C. 35'x3700' runway. With a dog leg. And literally uphill both ways. The first about 1000' of runway 3 are very rough. Not that the rest is better, but landing long is advised. The views are stunning. Also, I'm probably famous in Japan now. As I was on downwind, I saw a van pull over and people pile out. After landing and taxiing to "parking", there was a crowd of about 15 tourists taking photos. We worked out that they wanted to get closer, so I brought them over and let them look in and get close ups and stuff. And then I ended up in a group photo in front of the plane. It was a neat experience. 3
Tony Starke Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 Nice pics, thanks for sharing. What do you hunt, mule deer? Is this area part of the bison cull?
