WORK AT STANLEY AIRPORT
Dear Flyline Editor,
Please post on the Flyline and on the IAA NOTAm system that
we will be working to lay asphalt on the Stanley Airport (2U7)
starting on July 25 and hopefully complete by August 5.
The work will involve the center 30 feet of the runway for
approximately 1,600 feet beginning on the north end.  The
center of the runway will be coned off and “X” will be displayed
on the ends of the asphalt work which is essentially the northern
half of the runway along the centerline. Aircraft will be able
to land on the south end and roll out and taxi on the west
side of the runway, outside of the work cones and to takeoff southbound from the west side of the runway, essentially
from the north end, during this work period. Pilots should be
extremely cautious about personnel and equipment on the
runway since heavy equipment operators may not be able to
hear or see aircraft.

President's Corner
Jim Davies
The Board of Directors met on July 23rd at
Seven Devils Lodge, managed by members
DR and Teddi Bledsoe. The fly-in lodge is
in a beautiful setting near Bear and the visit
was memorable. The meeting was fruitful,
as usual, but a few subjects stand out as
significant news items.
The Garden Valley bathroom/shower project is almost
complete. There are a few small details remaining but
visitors have been using it since July 9th. Their reaction has
unanimously been two thumbs up. This project is a benchmark
in cooperation between the Idaho Division of Aeronautics,
the Idaho Aviation Association (IAA), and the Idaho Aviation
Foundation (IAF). We plan to display a plaque in honor of
everyone who donated money, materials or time to accomplish
the building of this facility, but for now I personally thank them
all, and I know the grateful users of the Garden Valley Airport
thank them too. (We are still paying the bills though, so, once
again, I’m asking every member to please consider a monetary
donation to the IAF specifying the GV shower fund.)
Paul Jorgensen, Awards VP, briefed us on a significant
enhancement to the scholarship program courtesy of the ShepRock Foundation. They have asked IAA to administer their
existing aviation scholarship program, which is structured to
encourage flight training by young, motivated future aviators.
We will adapt the Shep-Rock Scholarship to our system. ShepRock will donate $10,000 annually, and the IAA will continue to
award our $1000 scholarships. There will be 3-4
scholarships awarded annually. If you have a candidate to
propose, please refer to the IAA web site at www.idahoaviation.
com for qualification and application details.
Our newest chapter in Wallowa, Oregon has really stepped
up by negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding with
the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The agreement is a
joint commitment to preserve, maintain and enhance the
airstrips in that forest. It’s certainly refreshing to see this
kind of cooperation and commitment between users and
administrators of a National Forest. Kudos to Bill Ables and his
chapter.
The Board meeting ended with the annual election of officers as
required by the by-laws. I am proud and humbled to report that
I will be serving another term as your President and I am very
pleased that my whole team of VP’s, Secretary and Treasurer
will be returning as well. They are doing an outstanding job and
play a significant role in the organization’s operation.
The board will meet again in October, but if you have issues,
questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact one of
us.
Please stay safe and, as we move into fire season, be vigilant of
the TFR’s.

The Flying B Ranch on the Middle Fork of the Salmon is open for
breakfast from 7 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and lunch from 11:45 until
1:30 p.m. for the flying public. The charge is $20 per meal, and this
includes transportation from the airstrip to the lodge. The GPS
identifier is 12ID, about a mile upstream from the Bernard airstrip.
Call us on the way in at 122.90 or let the Salmon office know at
208-756-6295. We hope this makes up for the loss of the Big Creek
Lodge. Fly safely and ENJOY!

What a month in North Idaho!
Saturday, July 9th was the big
Forrest Bird Birthday Celebration
at the Bird Aviation Museum and
Invention Center, east of Sandpoint.
With 60 planes flying in and about
2,500 people, including Bob Hoover,
Clay Lacy, John and Martha King,
Jan Lee
five women from the WASPs and a
host of other well known aviators and inventors, it was quite the
day!
Sandpoint EAA Chapter
1441 made the July 9th
edition of the Bonner
County Daily Bee
newspaper. An article
detailed how volunteers
of the EAA Chapter reattached the fallen chain
link fence at the airport.
The County had bids
for $26,000 to repair the
fence. Volunteer labor,
with up to 20 participants
each afternoon, worked
on the fence for
about six evenings to
complete the project
for under $500.
North Idaho has an
exceptional aviation
community, which
participates in many
events and projects each season.
Saturday, July 23rd was the EAA Chapter 757 Young Eagles
Rally at Boundary County Airport in Bonners Ferry. There
were 118 Young Eagles flown by eight planes and one helicopter.
What an excellent way to introduce young people to the world
of aviation.
One last item…
we’ve had numerous
letters from our
members regarding
the removal of
the picnic tables
from Moose
Creek. After much
campaigning in
Moose Creek Table
favor of the tables,
Death of an Old Friend.
including an IAA
member/user survey and an on site comment box, the verdict
came down from the presiding Ranger with the decision to
remove the tables and to offer portable picnic tables. The new
portable tables apparently have not been able to withstand
the usage demand at Moose Creek. This has been an extreme
disappointment to many users, who were used to the
conventional heavy duty tables. Though the decision has been
made and the new tables tried, we’re still hoping the Ranger
may see the unfavorable result of the decision and may come
back with a more solid and acceptable solution. We certainly
appreciate the support and feedback of our members, who are
among the most frequent users of the Moose Creek facility. We
also understand the sentiment that the area does belong to the
tax payers/users, who feel they should have a say in the matter.
We’ll keep the issue on our radar and will relay any positive
changes in the situation.
Fly carefully and watch that density altitude.

Definately worth a visit!

Geology of Idaho continued
There are few mountain ranges
more spectacular than those
of central Idaho. The gray,
polished, sparkling rocks of
much of the high country stand
in lovely contrast to the dark
green forests mantling the lower
slopes. They remind me of the
mountains where I spent much of my childhood and youth—
the Sierra Nevada of California. The central Idaho mountains
have more in common with the Sierra Nevada than just the
beautiful granite peaks. Both are dotted with mines and hot
springs. There is a reason these mountain areas have so much in
common--they share a geologic kinship. The central mountains
of Idaho are largely composed of the Idaho Batholith. A
batholith is a very large body of rock that was originally molten
and froze deep under the Earth. Batholiths form the cores of
mountain ranges that were originally large volcanic chains
like the Andes or the Cascades. When the volcanism dies out,
and if the mountain chain continues to be lifted up by largescale movements of the Earth’s crustal plates, the overlying
rock is stripped off by erosion, exposing the batholith. The
Sierra Nevada is also built of a very large batholith. It, and the
Idaho Batholith, formed at the same time, mostly during the
Cretaceous period, a time of very rapid motion of the crustal
plates and intense volcanism in and around the Pacific Ocean.
Even though the volcanism has died out, the crust around
the batholith remains very hot for a long time. Groundwater
circulating through fractures in this hot rock come to the
surface as hot springs. In addition, the heat of the batholith
and groundwater circulation taking place on the margins of
the batholith are responsible for the mineral-rich areas. Hot,
mineral-rich groundwater alters the surrounding so-called
“country rock”, concentrating a variety of metals, including
tin, gold, silver, lead, tungsten, and so on, depending on the
composition of the rocks through which the hot waters flowed.
One example was an important stibnite (tin ore) mine near
Johnson Creek.
I’d like to remind District 2 members of an important new
feature of the new IAA website. You can now easily and rapidly
post pilot reports on the conditions at Idaho airstrips you visit.
Just go to http://idahoaviation.com and click on the link at the
top, “Idaho Airstrips”. Under that link is “Pilot report”. That
brings up a short form to fill out, including the date of your
visit. This is very helpful to other pilots (and is available to all).
Even if there is a pilot report already, having an updated one can
be very helpful. The airstrips with pilot reports are highlighted.
I encourage everyone to use this feature every time you visit one
of our backcountry airstrips.
The long-promised District 2 meeting will be held Saturday,
August 21. Please reserve the date. Unfortunately, I was not
able to nail down a venue by press time. I will be contacting all
current District 2 members as soon as I find a venue. The hope
is to have a two-hour morning meeting followed by a catered
lunch. Look for details soon!

The IAA Board of Directors sincerely thank those many
members who have given extra financial support to our efforts
to improve facilities at Idaho’s back country airports. From
new grass seed to picnic tables and shelters, to culverts and
weed whacking, your contributions help ensure that Idaho
remains the “Best of the Best” for back country flying.
Thank you!

Here it is the end of July and summer is 2/3 over…how can
that be? On July 2 several IAA members showed up at Cascade
airport to fly the equipment to build a web cam/weather station
to Sulphur Creek Ranch. Hopefully by the time you read this, it
will be up and running. It will look to the east down the runway.
I think this will be a valuable tool for Sulphur Creek Ranch and
all the pilots (myself included) that use the ranch.
July 8-10 found Linda and me at the 180/185 annual Garden
Valley Fly-in sponsored by Jim Davies and Hank Clancy. There
were a lot of campers on “pins and needles” wanting to know
when they could use the showers. Finally the grout was cured,
the water leaks fixed, the shower curtains hung and the first
showers were taken at 5 AM on July 9. This has been a project
between the Idaho State Division of Aeronautics and the IAA.
This will be a great asset to the Garden Valley airport. If you
have not been there, you need to go (U88). There is a beautiful
camp area between the runway and the river. A State courtesy
car is available by making prior arrangement with Annie, the
airport caretaker, at 208-462-6036 (leave a message).
This is a great place to camp with your airplane. Pets need to be
on a leash and you will need to be a good camper and clean up
after them. The runway is a mowed and watered grass strip.
On July 10 Linda and I flew 75Bravo to Cody, Wyoming, for
the annual 180/185 convention. We had a great time seeing
old friends and making new ones. The featured speaker at
the convention was John McKenna, President of the RAF
(Recreational Aviation Foundation). His topic was “saving our
landing strips” which is something we as pilots can and need
to participate in by being members of the IAA and RAF. These
organizations need you.
On Saturday July 16 I had the privilege to fly the Idaho back
country with one of those new friends, Red Parker, from Texas.
Red has a beautiful 180 with an IO550 engine and 86” seaplane
prop. We flew from Cascade to Sulphur Creek Ranch, then down
the Middle Fork of the Salmon to Indian Creek, then to Thomas
Creek. From there we toured Ship Island Lake, Cold Meadows
and Root Ranch before landing at Big Creek and Johnson Creek.
Mr. Parker was so excited about flying Idaho, he is coming back
in August for some more.
Don’t forget Cavanaugh Bay (66S) fly-in sponsored by the
Treasure Valley Chapter of IAA on August 12-14. Saturday night
will be the potluck BBQ. Just bring something to cook and
something to share with others. Grills will be furnished. Contact
Russ and Petra Vawter at [email protected] or 775-848-5243.
Cavanaugh Bay is located at the southeast corner of Priest Lake
which is the most northern of the big lakes in north Idaho. It is
really beautiful country.

year in the Mountain States and Southwest.
Quest has also added several new Authorized Service Centers
(ASCs) for the KODIAK as part of its expansion strategy and
to better support the growing fleet of aircraft in the field. Late
last year, Wipaire, Inc. (MN) was named the first factoryauthorized service center for the KODIAK. Four additional
organizations have recently been appointed; Banyan Aviation
(FL), Covington Aircraft (OK), Mid-Continent Aviation
Services (KS) and Summit Aviation (DE). The company expects
to appoint several other service centers in the next few months.

FRONTLINE REPORT
CHAMBERLAIN BASIN
After several elk hunts in Chamberlain
over the years, I’ve acquired a certain
fondness for the place and was lucky
enough to spend a few days there in July.
After the Fire – A fire ravaged Chamberlain Basin in recent years and had a
big effect on the landscape. The rolling hills in the basin, once densely covered with pines, firs and
spruce have been transformed into lunaresque fields filled with
the eerie skeletons of denuded trees – all in various stages of
collapse and decay. From the air, vast areas of deadfall look like
sun-bleached bones and make off trail hiking laborious.
The Undergrowth – With a view of the sun, the earth, once hidden beneath a canopy of trees has now given way to lush meadows and hillsides of a variety of knee-high grasses and wildflowers. There have always been lush meadows in the Basin but now
the rich green vegetation extends over everything but rock.
The Elk – It was always a joy to see herds of 40-50 elk grazing
peacefully on the approach end of the runway. Those elk are
now gone. In two weeks over two summers, I’ve seen a total of
three elk.
The Moose – Moose have always been a real crowd pleaser at
Chamberlain. During one elk hunt, a young bull moose joined
a friend and me in pussyfooting through the trees searching for
elk. We’d take a few steps, he’d take a few steps. We’d stop …
well, you get the idea. He didn’t seem as concerned as we were
about being silent but we enjoyed his company just the same. I
didn’t see a single moose on either trip.
The Salmon – Last summer, I was thrilled to see two Chinook
salmon working their way up Chamberlain Creek. Their 900mile journey is an inspiration on how strong the will to survive
is.
The Mosquitoes – The mosquitoes are doing quite well. These
aren’t the large Alaska-type but rather the Rhode Island, feisty
type. They do go away some time after sundown but usually not
before I’m in bed.
The Deer – I had one mulie doe in camp the first evening followed by seven whitetail does on subsequent nights. The whitetails seem to be faring the predator onslaught reasonably well.
The Runway – The runway and tiedown areas is filled with
ground squirrel holes. The grass has not been mowed and is
particularly overgrown in the area where the two runways intersect. It’s marshy and unusable there parts of the year but is dry
as of this writing but there is no way to tell unless you walk it
first. Maintenance on the runway is scheduled for the summer of
2011 but as of mid-July, nada mucho.
The Ground Squirrels - They’re everywhere. I honestly don’t
have an answer for rodent control on this runway. Even if there
were some way to eradicate each and every one of the rascals, my
hunch is that a whole new crop would re-inhabit the area within
a couple weeks.
Comfort Stations – Now this is great news! New, spacious and
spotlessly clean out houses have been installed. As one sits on the
eye-opening cold metal seat, one can contemplate the mystery
of how it’s possible to get a thousand feet of toilet tissue on one
normal-sized roll.
Potable Water - One can get drinking water from an outside
faucet on the Guard Station. There is a sign above the faucet that
gives a dire warning of drinking untested water but people have
been drinking this water for 70 years or better.
Wilderness Escape – Sure, the wildlife has declined but so have
the visitors. I love airplane camping at Chamberlain for the privacy and wilderness experience. I particularly enjoy the off-trail
exploring. There just aren’t that many places that this is still possible. And who knows? Maybe some day the elk and moose will
return to this wonderful place.
McCall Chapter
Rik Poston
Hi From McCall
The new overlay is complete on our runway. The new painting
is in place and everything is operational. There still needs to be
a three day closure around the first of October to grind off some
high spots and complete some paint and punch list items, so the
taxi way will be put back in operation for those few days.
The new equipment storage shop has been approved and as
soon as the last funding issues are put in place construction
should begin in early September. The location will be just south
of the present airport managers building. The new restrooms
that were built as part of the east hangar project have been
connected and are now operational. Water and sewer hook-ups
are now available to those hangar owners who choose to have
those utilities functional.
The McCall chapter’s scholarship program, made available to
all the surrounding high school seniors, had no applicants this
year. We will continue to alert the schools of the availability of
those scholarships and we are promised that we will have one
application next year from a student who is interested in an
aviation career. If you know anyone in our area who may be
interested please let us know. Flying has been great even though
we got a late start on summer up here, but that’s McCall.

Every year in the small town of
Blackfoot Idaho we have a great
celebration called Pride Days. It is three
days of fun filled events for everyone.
One of the events that draws a lot
of people is snowmobile races, yes,
snowmobile races. They race them
across Jensen’s Grove lake, the small
lake just off the south end of the
airport. There are so many food venues it is just plain fun. Each
year the city sponsors fly by events, mostly with aircraft from
the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg. This year they brought
in a beautiful Stearman and a T-6 for numerous flybys.
I was able to convince a few local pilots to go along with me and
invite the people of the community to come out to the airport
and take a free airplane ride. This is the first year we have
offered this and it was a success. I did not start to put it together
until 3 days before the event but we do have a local newspaper
that is very supportive of aviation events and news. The
newspaper even did a nice write up on a fellow from Blackfoot
who had just earned his private pilot certificate. The Pride Days
event went very well and we were able to introduce many people
that had never flown in a small plane to the world of flying
general aviation style. I used my Kolb Sport 600, Joel Milloway
used a Rans S-7 and Richard Neves flew his Cessna 182 and we
gave rides for 2 hours to as many people as we could.
I also had the pleasure to meet a very interesting fellow.
Blackfoot native and retired Lieutenant Colonel Buddy Bowman
happened to be in town for a class reunion and I had the
opportunity to sit down and talk flying with Buddy. He flew the
F104 Starfighter, the F-4 Phantom and the F-105 Thunderchief
and many other military aircraft. He also completed the Airforce
test pilot school and had numerous awards. It was a real treat
to visit with him about the flight characteristics of the various
aircraft he had flown. We spent several hours telling stories and
then I took him for a flight around the valley. He was impressed
with the changes to the southeast Idaho landscape, he has lived
in Florida and it had been quite a few years since his last visit.
The newspaper did a write up on Buddy and me, and we made
the front page. I am confident that general aviation is alive and
well in Southeastern Idaho.
I would like to thank all of the people that made the flying
events a success. Joel Milloway and Richard Neves deserve a real
thank you for their contributions for the fun airplane rides they
took many people on. Thank you to everyone who helped out
and made it a safe and successful event.

We are at last in the thick of the
flying season. We are finally getting
an honest chance to squawk 1200
(and that includes the mosquitoes).
I have had the good fortune to visit
and introduce others to quite a few
Idaho strips like Bruce Meadows,
Chamberlain Basin, Smiley Creek
and Sulphur Creek. There is something fun about sharing and
it was really my privilege to have the ability to introduce other
pilots to some of the places we get to visit in Idaho.
Last weekend, someone did the same favor for me. I visited
Bozeman, Schafer Meadows, and eventually Ryan Field outside
of Glacier National Park because I got an invitation from John
McKenna of the Recreational Aviation Foundation to join them,
and an AOPA writer and photographer, for a dinner celebration
and a Montana Pilots Association work party. I have to admit,
Montana has some incredible places with great facilities. I had
some of these strips on my list, but what got me there was the
invitation by another pilot and a chance to be introduced.
This past weekend IAA board meeting was held at another great
place, Seven Devils Lodge. I added a new place to my list because
I had an invitation to go. So my challenge to every member is
not only to get out and fly to at least one place you haven’t gone
but also to take the time and invite someone else to an airstrip
you think they would enjoy. Summer is too brief not to get out
and enjoy it and aviation is too much fun not to share it.
Another reason for mentioning Ryan, is that it is among the new
airstrips we have to add to the list of place we get to visit and
hopefully, Idaho will see a few more as well. I am keeping my eye
on the Big Springs airstrip and plan to walk it this weekend to
see what its condition is. Look for a report in the next issue. My
hope is to see another gem of a strip added to the many we have
in Idaho.
My final request is for any and all iPad winners to contact me or
Russ Vawter to fess up your name and address. We have certain
reporting requirements with the Idaho Gaming Commission
that must be met. While helping with the Idaho Aviation Trade
show, I managed to not get the names of the winners.

MISSION STATEMENT
“The Idaho Aviation Association’s mission is to
represent its members in forums where decisions are
made that affect general aviation; to keep its members
informed about aviation issues; to work with public and
private entities for the preservation, maintenance and
enhancement of aviation facilities; and to promote safety,
education and public understanding of general aviation
in Idaho.”
We invite everyone interested in aviation to join us in our
efforts. Thank you for your support!
Website Update
Join us on our new website at www.idahoaviation.com! The
forum has a new format and we’d love to see some posts
and get feedback on other topics to add. The photo albums
are available for you to add your own pictures and see what
others have been doing. If you know of any aviation related
events please send it to us at [email protected] so
we can keep the calendar current. There are some major
updates and additions to the “Airstrips” page coming soon
so check back with us frequently. To keep our costs down
we’re asking all members to edit their membership record
and check “email” to get notice of the newsletter via email
and read it online. If you have any questions send us a note
at [email protected].
