NO!!!! Not sure why/where Amazon.com gets those prices, etc. Go to the authors website and order from his Store. http://www.flyidaho.com/ And the ones out of print are the older versions. The newer updated versions are In Stock! They sell for around $60 for the 2 book/one state set. The...

We did not belong to any specific group. We used a MUST HAVE set of books written by Galen L. Hanselman. Unbelievably accurate/complete information about all the backcountry strips. One set of books covers Utah and another covers Idaho. We actually can't see flying without them...they're...

Now with all this time on my hands (isolation stuff) I finally had time to complete a couple of videos of recent trips which I hope you find informative and helpful. 1. Backcountry Utah - a spectacular region to explore and so many remote airstrips. 2. Backcountry Virginia/West Virginia - just...

Nice to watch, thanks. Here's another short video which also includes Sedona, a picturesque area and airport on top of a mesa. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRuQ2_YHvPPRoCkXt-9f-mw

Agreed with the Sedona suggestion; beautiful airstrip on top of a mesa. Suggest to add Grapevine airstrip 88AZ on the shore of Lake Roosevelt (a unique remote paved strip redone by some recreational pilots assoc); the Barringer Meteor Crater. My friend and I flew over/into these locations and...

Hope everyone is healthy and doing well. FINALLY with all this "isolation-time on my hands" got to create a YouTube Channel and finish up on a couple of videos of our flying trips to the Virginias and Utah. Here's hoping you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRuQ2_YHvPPRoCkXt-9f-mw...

Sorry for the late reply...was away. We called all private strips for permission and in every case, people were super welcoming! My friend did the calling and I believe there were one or two that we didn't get replies from, but based on the overwhelming friendliness from the rest, we made...

Good question, the same briefly crossed my mind, lol. But seriously, to a degree, it does control the category of viewers I'm catering too.

Okay, so lets see if I'm allowed to post a link now, lol. https://www.actionplusphoto.com/Proofs There are two galleries of photos from our trip. Gallery: Bearhawk Password: Patrol is from our spring trip into Utah. Gallery: Bearhawk II Password: Patrol is from this trip into the...

Looking forward to many more such fly-in trips to the USA...maybe next year to Idaho?

Our excuse to fly down to WV and Virginia was to attend a picnic hosted by Bob Barrows, the inventor of the Bearhawk line of airplanes. He and his wife Diana were such gracious hosts and put on a huge spread for the approximately 40 people that attended. Only 4 of those flew in however. His...

Here's a list of some of our favorite strips that we landed at. 1. 44VA Big Hill. We were out for an early morning flight. A number of the valleys were holding low dense fog which kept us from landing at our planned strips. As we were enjoying the view from above the fog (all mountain tops...

Currently working on editing some photos, but can't post a link until I've got more than 5 posts.

Just got back home from the Virginia's yesterday. Had an awesome trip! Visited over a dozen airstrips. Some preplanned, others we just stumbled upon. Never did any tenting as the night temps were just to low for comfortable tenting. Met so many amazing people, all of them so very...

Hello all. Live in Manitoba, Canada and brand new to this website; looks informative, etc. My friend and I are looking forward to flying a bush plane (Bearhawk Patrol) down to the Virginia's in mid Oct to enjoy your beautiful fall color scenery. Hoping to find some backcountry private or...
