The Gem State, is a Mecca for recreational aviation with dozens of backcountry strips offering everything from a luxury wilderness lodge experience to camping, hiking, fishing and hunting. Big Creek, Johnson Creek and Moose Creek are arguably three of the most beautiful destination airstrips in our state and certainly among the busiest during prime flying season. Join us for this informative primer on Idaho backcountry and mountain operations including specific arrival and departure procedures for these three gems. Our presentation includes pictures and video, what to do when you get there and Idaho Division of Aeronautics developed approach procedures and tips from aviators who fly to these strips regularly. John Davis began flying in 1989, got his private pilots license in 1990 and in a couple thousand hours of flight time has progressed through his instrument, multi-engine and seaplane ratings as well as attending the Arthur Murray school of rudder dancing, obtaining a tailwheel endorsement. John has been flying the Idaho backcountry for over 16 years but really got started in backcountry ops almost 50 years ago tagging along with dad on mine supply and exploration trips into the mountains of central Idaho as a kid. John s wife Michelle is always looking for a good airplane problem counselor they have a revolving hangar having previously owned a C-172, C-206, straight tail C-182, C-182 Turbo RG, Piper PA-39 Twin Comanche and a Diamond DA-40. At present their hangar houses a P-Ponk d C-180C, a Piper PA-18-160 and soon will be home to a Cessna Turbo 337D. When not at home in Boise you will find John at the hangar at KMAN, exploring the Middle Fork country or at their cabin just off Twin Bridges Airstrip (U61) at 6,900 feet in the Pioneer Mountains of Central Idaho.
