Landing in Idaho Backcountry

[GrauGeist]

Here's a cool video of a landing in a remote area of Idaho's back country.

Apparently, the strip is called "Simond's" and it's situated in a gorge at 5,243 feet and is approximately 900' long...with a pretty fair incline.

Definitely holds a good "pucker factor" for those who might not be used to remote strips, but for me, it brings back memories of the "Sky Ranch days" and "fly-ins" when I was a kid.

Anyway, enjoy!



* just noticed the video doesn't show for the iPad, so I'll see if the plain URL will work *
