Long time IAA member and Flyline contributor Art Lazzarini,
died in an airplane accident on April 21, 2011,
in Elk City, Okla. Art grew up in Pueblo, Colo.,
and still has family and friends there. He
served in the Marine Corps from 1966-1970,
including a tour in Vietnam. He met the love
of his life, Bonnie Jones, and they were married
in Durango, Colo. He learned to fly there and
earned all his ratings in Farmington, N.M. In
1978, he was offered a job to fly for Scott USA with his close
friend, Mike Penrose, in Sun Valley, Idaho.
He found his love of flying through teaching. He owned and
operated Mountain Air Engineering in Hailey, Idaho, as a flight
instructor for 33 years. His most satisfying flight instruction
was with Mountain Canyon Flying of McCall, Idaho, where he
instructed pilots on the fundamentals of backcountry flying.
Art is remembered not only as a flight instructor, but also as
an author, poet, musician, teacher, designer and builder, a joke
teller, story teller, sailor and big dreamer. Over the years, he has
touched the lives of hundreds of people, with his uniqueness,
positive attitude, laughter, generosity for others and his love for
life. If you asked him how he was, his reply would be, “It’s the
best day of my life!”
A celebration of Artie’s life was held on Saturday, May 21,
Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, Idaho.

President's Corner
Jim Davies
Some years ago I got a call from someone
I didn’t know named Jim. He asked if I
would give him a backcountry check out
in his new (to him) Cessna-180. He added
he didn’t have much time in the airplane,
to speak of, and I was the third instructor
he had contacted. At that time, I had an
innocuous symbol in the upper corner of my business card that
has meaning to most any fighter pilot but few others. The caller
said he had noticed that graphic and thought I’d be “OK in
spite of it”. That’s all I learned but agreed to do a 3 day program
with him when he arrived in Idaho.
As usual, I prepared lesson plans, handouts, stories and
scenarios. I was ready for him when he showed up but then
learned he had invited three ex Air Force pilots to attend the
ground school portion. He acknowledged that he too had been
in the Air Force some time ago. Oh boy, I thought, more critics.
The ground school went pretty well. The other guys were
attentive and even saved some of my Rules of Thumb for their
personal clue bags. The next day, Jim and I headed for the
canyon where I like to demonstrate/teach turn radius vs speed
relationships and he says” Oh, you mean like turning room
required vs turning room available?” These are basic fighter
maneuvering expressions so I got suspicious. We had a great day
though. Jim turned out to be a receptive trainee and a cinch to
teach. He was very skilled yet willing to learn and his attitude
made the whole experience a pleasure. For his third day I asked
past IAA President, Bob Patrick to jump in to give another
perspective on backcountry techniques to this pilot who, I
had learned, was an F-16, F-4, USAF Fighter Weapons School
graduate and SW Airlines Captain We have all been close
friends ever since.
Why did I tell you this story? Two reasons.
One is to reinforce the idea that even the best among us is never
beyond training and learning. We all need to keep growing with
our skills and be open to those with common interests and
experiences to share.
The other reason is to tell you that in addition to Jim being an
F-4, F-16, Cessna-180 and Boeing 737 pilot, he is a B-17 Captain
in the Commemorative Air Force. He and his B-17, as well as a
B-25 will be making a swing through Southern Idaho at the end
of August. I encourage you to watch for the announcements and
go out to support this noble salute to the past.
Enough nostalgia.
I am happy to inform you our membership is up to over 700
and we are participating in a joint AOPA/IAA membership
sharing program that could lead to over 100 more members this
year.
The work party program that got off to a slow start because of
weather is back on track and having good participation.
The new bathroom/shower facility at Garden Valley Airport
is well on its way to completion and should be finished by the
time you are reading this newsletter.
Finally, after so many years of dedicated, exceptional service,
our editor, Ken Jackson thinks he is entitled to a personal life.
We would like to support him in this quest so I am soliciting
the membership for anyone interested in succeeding Ken in that
position. If you would like to apply, please advise me by email.

KODIAK Production Ramping Up
Quest Aircraft Company continues
to move forward on several fronts,
including increased production rates
for the KODIAK. Earlier this year,
a recapitalization along with new
funding from investors enabled the
company to expand and invest in a
few key areas, including production
Jan Lee
increases at its Sandpoint facility.
Quest’s long term corporate strategy is focused on global
growth and expansion. The recent financing transaction
allows for a more aggressive pursuit of this strategy. Quest
is positioning itself to take advantage of the opportunities
that are emerging as the global aviation market continues to
improve. The development of a more expansive domestic and
international sales network coupled with additional Authorized
Service Center operations will enable Quest to grow along with
increased market demand.
The company’s executive leadership is also transitioning. Paul
Schaller, who has been Quest’s Chief Executive Officer, is leaving
that position and will now serve as a consultant to the company.
Ron Wright, Director of Operations, will continue to oversee the
production facility in Sandpoint. Several new positions have also
been created. Steve Zinda has been named Director, Sales and
Marketing and Paul Duff is Director, Procurement. Both bring
substantial aviation and industry experience to Quest. Zinda
and Duff are based in Wichita, KS, where the company plans to
locate several key management positions.
Quest began customer deliveries of the KODIAK in late 2007,
and it has since been deployed in more than 10 countries around
the world in a variety of applications. KODIAKs are in service
with charter operators, small businesses, personal owners,
skydiving operations, U.S. and international governments, and
humanitarian organizations. This past summer, Quest delivered
nine float-equipped KODIAKs to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and most recently to the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP).

Now that I’ve done a little bit
about the geology of northern
Idaho and eastern Washington,
let me do something on
southern Idaho.
The last two issues, I’ve
talked about the Columbia
River Basalts (CRB) and overlying Missoula Megaflood
deposits. Idaho is remarkable in having two major basalt
provinces—the other is the Snake River Plain. These basalts,
which stretch from eastern Idaho around Idaho Falls all the
way west into Oregon and form the flat-bottomed valley
that contains the southern Idaho portion of the Snake
River, are a little younger than the CRBs. The Snake River
Plain appears to have formed as the result of the migration
of what geologists call a hot spot. Hot spots are stationary
plumes of heat from deep in the Earth. Molten rock doesn’t
exactly start out there and rise—the mechanism is a lot more
complicated than that—but the effect is volcanism at the
surface of the Earth. The interesting thing about hot spots
is that they are stationary while the Earth’s crustal plates
move around. This means that as a plate drifts over the hot
spot, a line of volcanoes forms (we call this migration of the
hot spot even though it’s the crustal plate that’s migrating).
The most famous such chain is the Hawaiian Islands. The
active volcanism on the Big Island is evidence of the current
position of the hot spot. The islands are older and older
progressing away from the Big Island, and their volcanoes
are extinct. The chain actually continues with the Emperor
Seamounts, which have now subsided and eroded so much
they are no longer islands.
Falls, and Idaho Falls. The hot spot is now under Yellowstone,
and accounts for all the geothermal activity there. Although
there haven’t been any eruptions in Yellowstone for a few
thousand years, there was a huge one 640 thousand years ago,
and you might have seen nature programs on TV discussing
the possibility of another super-eruption in the not-toodistant future…which to geologists could be anything from
tomorrow to a million years from now.
The line of volcanoes from Oregon to Yellowstone reflects the
westward drift of North America over the hot spot. A flight
along this spectacular line of volcanism is well worth the
effort; you can fly the whole thing if the MOAs are inactive.
In District 2 news, kudos to Joe Quentin of Lewiston and
Jonathan Riggers from Nez Perce. Both recently received
their private pilot certificates. They are both members of the
Clearwater Valley Flying Club in Kamiah, and their check
pilot was Joe Myers. Fifty-five Young Eagles were flown
during the rally at Orofino on June 11. Also, this is a reminder
that the Lewiston Air Fair will be held at the Lewiston/Nez
Perce Regional Airport July 23. There will be Young Eagles
rides, helicopter and airplane rides, static displays, breakfast,
lunch, pilot competitions and much more. A B-17 and a B-25
will be on display July 22-24.
The same kind of chain of volcanoes (though not nearly as
spectacular) is associated with the Snake River Plain. The
earliest volcanic rocks associated with this hot spot are in
eastern Oregon, near McDermitt (on the western edge of
the Paradise MOA). Volcanoes and volcanic rocks east of
there along the Snake River Plain get younger and younger
to the east, and you can see some cinder cones if you fly
along the valley, although most of what you see is the black
volcanic rock around Lake Owyhee and along the Snake
River where cuts into the plain around Twin Falls, American

Wow! Summer arrived finally on June 21st.
On June 11, we had another successful work party at Graham
(U45). On Friday the 10th, Rich Speed (Treasure Valley Chapter
President) and I went to Graham to survey the needed repairs
and do some “pest” control with our small bore rifles (17 &
22 mags). We were later joined by Russell Tackett who came
to make sure we were doing a good job. Rich rented the Forest
Service cabin for the night. It has 6 single beds and lots of
floor space. After cleaning the cabin we were able to enjoy the
protection of a roof over our heads while we prepared dinner.
We sat outside and enjoyed a nice campfire. The next morning
bright and early, J.T. (Jerry Terlisner) showed up in his 206 with
biscuits, gravy and custom cooked eggs for all who came to the
work party. We had 8 aircraft and 14 workers, including Stan
Clark who came all the way from Redmond, Oregon to help.
There were a lot of ground squirrel holes to fill and water to
divert back to the drain ditches. A new wind sock was installed.
The strip is in great condition; however, I would caution users
that there might be new squirrel holes. It was a successful work
party.
On Friday the 17th of June, Mo Miller accompanied me to
Deadwood to check the condition of the strip and put up a new
windsock. The strip is in good condition considering it is a very
steep mountain strip that has a tendency to wash ruts near the
top and along both sides.
June 18 & 19 was our annual Father’s Day weekend potluck
BBQ and breakfast on Sunday morning from 7-10. The day
started out slow with the east end of the valley fogged in. Bryan
Sanderson was the first airplane to land at 8 AM as the fog was
lifting. He was followed by 9 more aircraft. There were only 22
people who arrive by air and another 32 who chose to drive.
The weatherman did not cooperate a hundred percent.
There are a lot of great places to visit in our beautiful state
especially if you can do it in your airplane. If you have not tried
airplane camping, I recommend it. Call me or e-mail me for
ideas.
The shower project at Garden Valley is near completion and
hopefully finished by the time you read this newsletter.
Fly safe,

In a rather surprising turn of events, Anne and I have ended
our 31 year aviation adventure. Even after a couple of years
discussing the pros and cons, our decision and execution
continue to give us pause;
“How could we do such a
thing?” Well, I can tell you
that it wasn’t easy to watch
Big Bird take off under the
hands of its new owner,
Soloy Aviation Solutions. Big
Bird will be upgraded with
the “Mark II” turbo-prop
conversion for a client in
Europe. That T/O was the
first time I ever saw my own
airplane fly away.
Anne and I twisted our
emotions into knots about opening a new chapter in our lives
but, in the end, it wasn’t really hard to decide. The sale of
our Sandpoint home, the purchase of the “Casita” next door
to the kids and grand kids in Hillsboro, OR, the realization
that Big Bird was ever more becoming an under utilized
asset, and my new found ability to spell “the south of France”,
together conspired to make the scales of our lives tip toward
the inevitable eventuality all pilots face: pulling the pilot and
medical certificates out of our wallets. The medical went the
way of my 1968 draft card, but my US pilot certificate is proudly
framed with those I earned from Australia and New Zealand on
the wall above my desk.
It is hard to grasp the end of the wonderful and unique aspects
of our experiences in aviation. Flying the back country of Idaho
is unparalleled anywhere in the world and we are incredibly
fortunate to have such a place available to us. The community of
pilot advocates like The Idaho Aviation Association continue to
protect aviation access and provide work party expertise, social
outings, support, and education for all aviators. We are going to
miss being an active part of those efforts, and will miss seeing
our many friends at airports and airstrips around the country.
Then again, southern Europe isn’t exactly in the mission profile
of a Cessna 206. And, as we learn daily while living next door
to our grand kids, our “mission” has taken on a whole new and
joyous perspective. Our lives in aviation have been a grand
adventure without regrets and we look forward to the next
chapters.
Anne and I are profoundly grateful for the friendships we
have found in aviation and we wish you all the best of health,
prosperity, and forever tailwinds.
Anyone who may be interested in assuming the Flyline editor
duties may contact me for a full briefing on the nature of the
job. Thank you! [email protected] 208 290-5863

U.S. FOREST SERVICE AIRPORTS IN IDAHO
by Larry Hippler
Reprinted from the Division of Aeronautics Newsletter, Winter 1997
Currently, the Forest Service operates 22 airports in Idaho. Most
of them have been around longer than our current crop of pilots
can remember.
I have two Forest Service “airport directories” in my office. One
of them is for Region Four, South of the Salmon River, and the
other for Region One, North of the Salmon River.
The directory for Region Four is an extremely interesting
publication. The title is “Landing Strips in Central Idaho”. It
was published in 1946, making it fifty years old this year. The
directory consists of an introductory cover letter written by
the Regional Forester, a table listing the statistical data for 16
Forest Service and 9 private airports, an airport location map,
and layout plates for 13 airports. The layout plates are very
well done, consisting of engineering style line drawings and
lettering. The plates show runway dimensions, facility locations,
ground contours, obstructions, and recommended operating
procedures.
Four Forest Service airports (Big Springs, Cape Horn, Elk
Meadows, and Hoodoo) listed in the directory have been
abandoned or closed. Two airports (Bruce Meadows and Big
Creek) are now operated by the State of Idaho under Special Use
Permits. Four airports (Cabin Creek, Graham, Idaho City, and
Weatherby) have been added to the list of Forest Service airports
since the directory was published.
Of the nine private use airports on the list; two of them
(Falconberry and Yellow Pine) have been abandoned or closed.
One airport (Fox Farm, now known as Johnson Creek) is
currently operated by the State of Idaho.
The directory for Region One consists of 5” x 7” black and
white photographs printed on heavy card stock. There is no
statistical data or publication date presented. However, I believe
the directory was published in the late 1940’s or early 1950’s. For
each airport there are overhead photos taken from an aircraft
and ground photos taken from the ends and sides of the airport.
The photos are simply labeled with the airport name and
elevation.
Of the seven Idaho airports listed, one, Horse Heaven has been
closed. Magee has been taken over by the State of Idaho under
a Special Use Permit. Orogrande, Priest Lake, and Wilson Bar
have been acquired by the Forest Service since the directory was
published.
Interestingly enough, the majority of the Forest Service airports
have not changed over the last fifty years. Their dimensions and
associated facilities remain the same.
The rivers are finally beginning to
drop and at last it is truly of flying
season in Eastern Idaho! I have not
had a chance to get into the back
country yet but I have flown a few
aerial photo sorties and am looking
forward to getting some more
flying in soon.
My last flight I flew over the top of the Big Springs airstrip. It
shows up on topo maps but not on sectionals. I hope to walk it
later this week to see how laudable it is.
At the Idaho Falls airport, the tree farm on the Northeast
side of the airport is being cleared away to make way for new
hangars. According to airport manager, Len Nelson, they
haven’t decided yet how to proceed with leasing the area.
They would prefer to build box hangars that are contiguous to
save space, and therefore they would all have to be of similar
construction. The airport is considering options between
having individuals build to a certain specification or have
one builder build all and then sell to individuals. The airport
will put in some outside water hydrants, bring power to the
buildings and pave the taxiway.
I hope to talk to Len about having a get together with local
pilots to discuss what they are thinking.
Happy flying.

the final approach high. It reminded me of my military training,

when they set up telephone poles at the threshold with a rope
stretched between them. High.
The technique was to come over the threshold with speed, rate
of descent and power setting just right so you could chop the
throttle and set it down quickly. We were doing that at Spotted
Bear when we saw a horse serenely munching grass right on our
landing path.
We pulled up, did a buzz job on the horse and came around
again. This exercise made the pilot go back to basics and do it
right.
It was early morning, so we pulled over near the trees, got out
and simply reveled in the solitude of the wilderness.
Then there was Big Creek out east of McCall, Idaho. We had
come here looking for adventure in the wilderness and our first
look showed us a different scene.

flying. A closer look showed that it sat down in a hole, with
mountains on four sides. One could see that takeoff would
be aided by a small valley, open all the way so one could gain
altitude.
The strip itself was very wide and longer than usual, with good
surface. But getting to it was the fun. We flew the final right on
top of the trees, crossed the threshold high, did a little side slip
and set it down.
Take off was as expected. By turning around the end of a ridge
we were in the little valley and had plenty of time to gain
altitude and clear the mountainside. Again, the planning was as
significant as the flying.
Until you get a look you never know what will pop up next,
and we were not prepared for what we saw this day. Flying the
beautiful mountain country of Washington State, we came
across the Lost River strip near Winthrop. Again, tall trees lined
all four sides, making for a high approach.
Ready for tower installation
The surface was just dirt, no grass to slow the roll out, and one
end butted right up against a mountain, making it one way in or
out.

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].
