Jim Davies, Director-at-large
I hope everyone got out to visit
some of our backcountry airstrips
this summer; the best part of the
year is yet to come. Fall colors are
just around the corner and in
some locations are starting to turn
now. Fall is a great time to get out,
with cooler air, better performance
and more comfortable temps, a
welcome change from the hot
summer. I took a trip to Atlanta, not Georgia, but Idaho
(55H) on August 18th. I wanted to fly somewhere I had not
been in a while. Atlanta came to mind and I got to thinking
about how long it had been since I landed there. The
closest I could come without pulling out the old logbooks
was about 20 years. I did land at the Greene Valley strip
last summer, which is nearby and perpendicular to 55H. I
have always liked this area; I hunted big game in the
region many years ago. So I flew over the strip and took a
look at it from a safe altitude. I was looking for vehicles,
large animals and other obstructions. Everything appeared
OK, so I set up the approach.
Those of you who have landed at 55H know there are a
couple of ways to fly the approach. I’ve always preferred to
fly up the river and make the left turn to short final. You
need to pay close attention to the layout and make your
turn at the right time. Once you have reached the landing
flare, you’re pretty much committed; a successful go
around from this point is not likely. When we landed I got a
bit of a surprise from ruts and a rougher surface than I had
anticipated. Recent heavy rains had washed debris across
and onto the runway. Small branches and rocks had
allowed pine needles and twigs to be deposited against
them on the runway surface as the runoff went across the
runway. The heavy rains also exposed fist-sized rocks on
large parts of the runway. Several small ruts are present
from someone who drove a vehicle on the midsection of
the runway for about 100 feet. Overall, the runway is
usable, not bad, but a bit rough. After we landed we hiked
around and I was surprised at how much erosion the
heavy rains caused in the low areas and creek beds. I got
to thinking about what we had seen; I believe we have
similar conditions at many airstrips. When we departed, I
circled the area and looked again; sure enough you can
see it. The colors of the surface are different and can be
seen; this is a lesson relearned for me. I was preoccupied
with looking for large objects and obstructions. The runoff
can be very destructive in some areas, so look for pilot
reports and post them on our website if you can. It will help
others be aware of current conditions. It is a great tool we
all have at our fingertips if we use it. So I encourage
everyone to post comments and avoid airstrips that need a
lot of work done. Again, Atlanta is usable and the surface
is "OK", not great, but usable.
IAA has added one more element to
the information available to pilots
flying in the backcountry. Even
before the snow was clear of Profile
Gap this spring, the tower and
electronic components of a new
webcam/weather station/WiFi were
flown into the Big Creek Airstrip and
the solar powered webcam system
was constructed. This new addition
to the list of webcams and weather stations throughout the
Idaho backcountry will add a significant piece to the puzzle
of flight planning for flights into central Idaho. All of these
stations can be accessed through the IAA website under
“Airstrips” (www.IdahoAviation.com).
The financial cost of efforts like this webcam system is
greatly mitigated by volunteer labor and airlift. The erection
of the tower, for example, was made possible by the efforts
of three out of state aviators who were stranded at Big
Creek by weather conditions. Frequent volunteer, Stan
Clark, dug the footings and many IAA members flew in
various parts, materials, and technicians. The loads
included unique items including fifteen 75-pound buckets
of sand, a 10-foot section of lattice tower, and eight
batteries that each weighed 117 pounds.
The Idaho Aviation Foundation, engaged in the effort to
rebuild the Big Creek Lodge on the same site, has agreed
to take over the monitoring and maintenance of the new
webcam system. Check out www.RebuildBigCreek.com.
We should all be proud of IAA’s involvement in
improvements like this—and a special thanks to all those
volunteers involved.

District 1 – Sandpoint/ Coeur d’ Alene
Don McIntosh
Well, here we are nearing the end of
the summer season already! In North
Idaho the flying activities are too
numerous to attend them all. At least
we should be through with this erratic
weather. July and most of August the
temperature stayed in the mid-90s,
with some big wind storms mixed in.
The local A&P’s hangar in Deer Park
was totally destroyed, damaging at
least eight aircraft—some may be a total loss. At SZT, four
of the newest metal hangar roofs were lost; several
airplanes not tied down were damaged.
The end of July, longtime IAA member Tom Bryant of
Spokane threw a bash at Chamberlain (U79) which
brought in 20 airplanes even though it was forecast to be
in the mid-90s. Everyone dodged a few pop-up
thunderstorms on the way in but it only sprinkled and then
clouded over which kept it reasonable enough for some to
fish or swim in the creek. There were even some huge
salmon observed going upstream! The afternoon event
was a game of “runway golf” played using the big 3-foot
runway cone markers as holes and a Pitching Wedge as
the only club allowed. When the two resident US Forest
Rangers wandered in carrying more gear than three burros
could haul and looking more tired and sweaty than anyone
I have ever seen, they let us keep using their runway as
long as we shared our catered Longhorn BBQ along with a
cold keg of beer! I have never seen two guys eat more
ribs! Thanks to Addison Pemberton who flew in the
Longhorn BBQ from Spokane in his 185. We discussed
challenging the other Districts to this golf game at a yearly
gathering there at Chamberlain – stay tuned.
The Sandpoint Fly-In on August 9 was a great success
with over 70 airplanes showing up including 9 floatplanes
from various locations. Sandpoint’s EAA Chapter 1441
served over 300 breakfasts which got the normal
comments of being the best fly-in breakfast served
anywhere. The whole event went off without incident but
we did have a tense moment or two when someone didn’t
see the common sense in joining the other 5 airplanes
lined up in the pattern for landing and declared straight in
from the opposite direction – and did it. Quest Aircraft
opened up their manufacturing facility for tours in the
afternoon, while many went to the Arts and Crafts Show
downtown, or prepared for Huey Lewis and the News who
played at the Sandpoint Festival that evening.
As soon as I finish writing this article, I am headed over
to Spokane, WA for the big AOPA event which should
prove to be great, with more than 250 aircraft
preregistered. Our Fly-In at Cavanaugh Bay (66S) will
probably be underway when this Flyline Issue goes online,
but come on up if you can! Aeronautics decided to post a
temporary NOTAM about the north end of Magee (S77) so
be sure to check that out before flying in there. The whole
area is still unusually green for this time of year so keep
North Idaho in your flying plans.

Boy, things are in high gear, and
great things have been taking place
in our area. I can’t say enough how
I appreciate Doug Cully and friends
getting Governor Otter to sign a
proclamation declaring Aviation
Week in Idaho and recognizing the
25th anniversary of the IAA.
Also, the Wallowa Chapter’s
annual fly-in breakfast was held at
KJSY located near Joseph, OR and it was an over
whelming success due to one person, Jerry Terslinger. I
don’t know if he knew what he was getting into when he
volunteered his assistance this February, but without him,
his mobile cooking trailer, his experience in cooking for
large groups, and the help of his good friend, Brian
McDonald, our breakfast could not have happened. We
planned to serve 120 people and before it was over we
served breakfast to some 317 people. Thanks again Jerry
and Brian!
About 50 flew to KJSY in spite of the smoky conditions.
We had some great volunteers from both our chapter and
the Chief Joseph Flying Club. A real crowd pleaser was a
beautifully restored DC-3 from the Portland area, a Twin
Beech from LaGrande and a fully restored Stearman from
Hillsboro. These three aircraft, along with the other 40+
aircraft parked on the KJSY tarmac, drew many folks to the
airport for our event.
The two larger fires in Hells Canyon, one near Somer’s
Creek and the other near Temperance Creek, have put a
halt to recreational aircraft use of the Canyon strips. The
cooler weather and recent rains will help put those fires out
and hopefully allow you back into the Canyon. Be sure to
check for TFRs before heading in there.
Our two airstrips on the west rim, Memaloose and Lord
Flat, are in good shape and have seen a fair amount of
aircraft activity. Memaloose is very close to being the first
place in Oregon to see the sun and I’ve heard that it’s a
wonderful place to watch the sunrise.
If you’ve tried to obtain info from the RAWS site at
Minam Lodge before you flew into either Red’s Horse
Ranch or Minam Lodge you’ve probably discovered the
site is down. Well, I just flew in to those two strips and
learned there is now a portable RAWS site at Reds:
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=ms
o&sid=TS984&num=48&raw=0&dbn=m
We had a mishap at Minam Lodge this past month that
was very fortunate for the two pilots. Please beware of the
pitfalls of flying in the canyons after 10 a.m. with increased
winds and temps and know your skill level.
The call to action that was put out this month asking
everyone to comment on the USFS Management Plan
Revision for the three forests in the Blue Mountain area of
NE Oregon was a big success. I want to personally thank
everyone who responded and for the cooperation and
support of the IAA, OPA, and the RAF
in this effort.
School is starting—a sure sign that
summer is coming to a close! It also
means fall flying, which I love, as the air
is usually much smoother than spring
flying. The streams are low making fly
fishing fun (that means I fly to my
favorite fishing spot).
On August 10th, Linda and I flew
75Bravo to Sulphur Creek for breakfast
with Jim & Marsha Davies, then on to
Big Creek, and finally back to Garden
Valley. It was a beautiful day with some
smoke, but not bad. On the way from Garden Valley to
Caldwell (EUL) where 75Bravo lives, I almost flew into a
new TFR for a fire northeast of Emmett. I’m glad it “popped
up” on my GPS. Wow, what a great service that is.
On August 16th, we flew from Garden Valley (we spend
2/3 of our weekends there at our camp trailer) to Minam
River Lodge, about 16 nm southwest of Joseph, OR, in the
Eagle Cap Wilderness. We enjoyed conversation and
breakfast with Jim Davies, Hank Clancy, and Hank’s
stepdaughter, Eve. If you have not been there and you are
comfortable with a short, tight, tree-lined strip (about 2,000’
at 3,600’ elevation), you should “drop in”. The lodge
manager, Anna, would like to know you are coming
[email protected] or 541-508-2719); however,
she said drop-ins for breakfast are OK from 8–10 a.m.
They will close in mid-September, so send her an e-mail to
make sure service is available.
This was the second time I’ve seen a damaged airplane
tied down at Minam. This was a Kitfox that apparently tried
to land too late in the day when the afternoon winds were
too strong. The other aircraft, a Cessna 185, was damaged
on takeoff from the south end where there is a slight right
dog leg. The pilot lost control and ran into trees on the
west side. I only tell you these things so you will be alert
when landing and taking off at Minam.
While Linda and I were at Garden Valley on August 15th,
we met a couple flying a Cessna 182 who were enjoying
the great camping area and beautiful shower house. Frank
was not a member of the IAA; however, he promised he
would send in his $35 with the application I gave him.
Guess what! He wants to come up next spring and help on
some work parties. It really helps to have an application
handy and to talk about the great things the IAA does!
We have had another fatal crash near Yellow Pine with a
two-seater experimental aircraft enroute from Sulphur
Creek to Dixie. Two men from Utah were on board.
Last weekend the “chatter” on 122.9 sounded like it did
7–10 years ago. There was a lot of traffic in the back
country which is wonderful; however, it means you need to
be extra careful to avoid a mid air. There were about 20
aircraft at Sulphur Creek on August 16th. That is a lot of
traffic.

The Wilderness Act Turns 50
Crista Worthy, Editor
September 3, 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the
signing of the Wilderness Act of 1964 into law. I did not
wish this accomplishment to go unnoticed. The law
established the legal definition of Wilderness in the United
States. Written by Howard Zahniser of The Wilderness
Society, it provides a succinct and even poetic definition:
“A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and
his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby
recognized as an area where the earth and its community
of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a
visitor who does not remain.” When President Johnson
signed the act he said, “If future generations are to
remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must
leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the
beginning, not just after we got through with it.”
This landmark law now protects 110 million acres of
untamed landscape—about 5% of America’s total acreage.
As you might suspect, Alaska has by far the most total
Wilderness acreage. California has the second-most, and
Idaho ranks #3. However, as a percentage of its own total
size, California’s Wilderness constitutes 14.3%, which
makes is #1. Alaska’s Wilderness constitutes 13.5% of its
total size. And Idaho’s Wilderness constitutes 8.4% of its
total size, again #3.
Many pilots and readers of The Flyline have spent some
of their happiest days in Idaho’s Wilderness areas. The
Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in northern Idaho is home to
the Fish Lake, Moose Creek, and Shearer airstrips. The
Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area (“The
Frank” to many) is the largest contiguous Wilderness in the
lower 48 at 2.367 million acres. (The Death Valley
Wilderness has more acres, but it’s not all in one piece.)
Within The Frank you will find at least 15 airstrips that are
open to the public, and around a dozen more that are
private. Over 370 wildlife species have been identified here
in a single year, including eight big game species. 296
maintained trails add up to about 2,616 miles worth of
human access to The Frank via foot or horseback, with
114 bridges to allow safe crossing of creeks and rivers. 32
Forest Service roads lead to 66 trailheads. As visitors to
Mackay Bar know, jet boats are allowed on the Main
Salmon River. Dozens of outfitters use the airstrips, trails,
and rivers to offer jetboat, rafting, horsepacking,
backpacking, skiing, fishing, and hunting trips to paying
visitors from Idaho and around the world.
And yet, despite all this access, an amazing 1.5 million
acres within The Frank remain trail-free, for those selfsufficient explorers who seek true solitude. The canyon
carved by the Main Salmon River is deeper than most
canyons around the world—even deeper than the Grand
Canyon. The clear rivers, deep canyons, and rugged
mountains of Idaho’s Wilderness areas provide recreation
that is treasured by many Idahoans, pilots and non-pilots
alike. Even people who may not visit our Wilderness areas
take comfort just in knowing they are there, that they will
never be developed, or mined, or fracked—that future
generations will be able to explore these landscapes and
see them as they have existed for millennia. Wallace
Stegner said in his Wilderness Letter, “We simply need
that wild country available to us, even if we never do more
than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of
reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of
the geography of hope.”
I hope you had the chance to visit one of Idaho’s
Wilderness areas this year. If not, there’s still plenty of
time. September and October often provide Idaho’s best
flying weather, with cool, stable air.

“The idea of wilderness needs no defense. It only
needs more defenders.”—Edward Abbey
IAA member John Gallian sent in these photos. He said:
In mid-July my wife and I flew to Bozeman, MT, to visit
friends. It’s always a beautiful flight down the Gallatin River
Canyon. Evidently the winter precipitation had been about
150% of normal in the Gravelly Range of mountains, and
the mountain flower bloom was exceptional. We spent
most of a day touring the range west of Ennis, MT, at
about 7,000–8,000-ft elevation. I have not seen such a
display before, and during the course of the day we
identified about 60 flower species. Of course photos do not
do these kinds of views justice, but you can get some
feeling for the intensity and diversity of the bloom.

General Aviation: Idaho’s Gem
Angel Flight West
by Bill Miller—sent to Idaho Statesman
Use Your Skills to Help People in Need
There is an untold story behind three recent events.
First, Governor Otter proclaimed Aug 17–23 Aviation Week
in Idaho. In addition, August 19 is National Aviation Day.
Finally, this summer is the Idaho Aviation Association’s
25th anniversary.
We seldom hear about general aviation. GA is the
businessperson traveling to a neighboring state or remote
Idaho town on business. GA is the air taxi operator
transporting tourists to remote wilderness or backcountry
airfields. It is the aircraft applying products to fields to
assure high crop yields. GA flying performs rescue and
airlift for injured Idahoans. Thousands fly to Idaho each
year for the recreation offered by our network of
backcountry airfields. When your neighbors or friends
become lost or overdue, aerial search missions come to
their aid. They search for overdue or lost hunters, hikers,
bikers, snowmobilers, and ATV riders. General aviation
pilots also perform humanitarian and mercy missions
through programs like Angel Flight and Wilderness Within
Reach. The Idaho Aviation Association continues its work
to preserve Idaho’s unique recreational airports,
backcountry airstrips and related facilities. Other states
have copied our volunteer airport maintenance program,
and we have a strong aviation scholarship program. Idaho
history is rich with stories of how aviation developed our
unique economy and way of life. Aviation played a key role
in developing mining and mining exploration in remote
mountains. Aviation featured prominently in developing
forest fire fighting methods; the famed smokejumpers are a
legendary example. Aviation still delivers US Mail to
remote ranches and lodges. Rural Idaho depends heavily
on community airports, which provide the continued flow of
commerce, tourists and visitors.
Yet much of this GA flying is opaque to everyday
Idahoans, despite GA’s amazing statistics. The Division of
Aeronautics estimates the economic effect of all aviation in
Idaho at $2 billion. Of this sum, General Aviation
comprises half, or $1 billion. In addition, Idaho has 92
aviation-related companies employing more than 1,000.
The value of exported aircraft and aviation parts is nearly
$308 million. A 2013 law granted sales tax relief to Idaho’s
aviation repair shops, making them more competitive
nationally. Idaho GA is a growth industry, and is no small
potatoes (Idaho potatoes, of course!).
Nationwide, urban growth has encroached on airports,
causing many to close. However, Idaho has opened five
backcountry airstrips since 1990, bucking the national
trend. Moreover, just this year, aviation supporters helped
the Legislature pass a law to improve zoning for Idaho’s
airports. This is great news for our city and county airports,
especially those in high-growth areas.
Some form of general aviation probably touches each
one of us. I hope the reader will see this gem of Idaho and
appreciate its unique contribution to our society.
Angel Flight West is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven
organization that arranges free, non-emergency air travel
for children and adults with serious medical conditions for
medical care, special needs camps, and other compelling
human needs. Our network of 1,400+ pilots throughout the
13 western states donate their aircraft time, piloting skills,
and all flying costs to help families in need, enabling them
to receive vital treatment that might otherwise be
inaccessible because of financial, medical, or geographic
limitations.
AFW flies over 10 missions every day of the year. Each
flight is a chance for hope that you can help those
passengers achieve. AFW is always grateful for your
participation at whatever level works best for you. When
you fly, how often you fly, and whom you fly are all up to
you. We don’t expect a certain number of flights. Our
passengers understand that we don’t guarantee service.
Cancelling for any reason is always your choice.
Please consider joining our special volunteers in this
unique community service; you may experience the most
meaningful flights you ever fly! Thousands of passengers
need your help. Today we have about 26 active pilots
flying in Idaho but we can always use more. In order to fly
as a command pilot with AFW you must be current, have
at least 250 hours PIC, 75 hours cross country, and have
at least 50 hours PIC in the past 12 months.
The Idaho wing of AFW is organizing a wing meeting for
September 20, 2014 at the large Aero Mark hangar in
Idaho Falls. AFW is inviting all IAA pilots to this meeting
with us. There will be a FAAST safety seminar for WINGS
credit and more information on AFW to interested pilots.
