Amazing approach
Incredible views coming and out of this airport. Very tight canyon
Great gas stop
Nice airport with reasonable Alaskan gas prices
Never ending sunset
I landed here at 2am on 7/30 after landing at Deadhorse around midnight. Night may not be the right word since it was basically a 4 hour long sunset/rise. Absolutely incredible
First gravel strip
Landed here in a bonanza v35. Amazing park and service in McCarthy. Runway was fine and we had a great time exploring the glacier
Friendly line service
Stopped here for gas on my way to norther AK. Staff came out to pump my gas and even gave us two homemade cookies!
Good gas stop
Must have been an old military base. Massive runway. ForeFlight said fair condition but I would say it was good
Great restaurant!
Stopped to meet my brother and sister-in-law. The restaurant gave us a bowl of water for our dogs. Very friendly
good gas stop
TWO avgas pumps!!
Great gas stop!
Loved stopping here for gas, classic small town airport
Smooth landing
This airport had one of the smoothest runways I’ve landed on!
poor shape
this airport is in poor condition, not sure if its really even open as there were small X's on the runway
fees
$309 for a bonanza. not as bad as SFO's $365
Great Ranch!
Highly recommend, permission required to land but definitely a great place to visit! Go on a safari and shoot a flamethrower!
ROUGH pavement
There are so many weeds growing through the cracks this might as well be a grass strip
amazing
this airport and surrounding area are stunning
Expensive experience
Fees for a single engine piston was $365!
Great airport!
Nice newly paved taxi and ramp. Great fuel stop
So many jets
Came in on a Saturday evening and the massive ramp was almost completely full! Very friendly staff.
Great airport
Nice pilot lounge and a good gas stop!
Great airport!
Super friendly staff and great gas prices
Expensive
$40 landing fee and $50 handling fee for a single engine bonanza. Highest fees I’ve ever seen
Friendly airport
I’ve never seen so many people hanging out at a GA field!
Agree on the hard to find
I also could not easily find this airport until I was right over it
Great controller
Dealt with a storm popping up over the field right before takeoff, when we finally did depart the controllers really helped navigate the cells
Narrow runway!
the paved part of this runway was only 21' wide!
cheapest gas ever
$3.30/gal on 3/16/20!
Friendly FBO
Kissimmee jet center was great!
Friendly FBO
Cheap gas $3.95 and someone came from the FBO to pump for me!
Nice lunch spot
Good on airport restaurant
new gas tanks
looked like some brand new fuel pumps were being installed on 11/2/19
Runway not that bad
My CFI tried to scare me away from this airport because the runway is in poor condition. It really wasn't that bad. I'd say Sky King, Hobart and Orleans have worse runways in Indiana.
pump out of order
as of 4/21/19 the self serve gas was not working.
Airport with my last name!
Runway is reasonable condition
Short Field!
Really cool airport. Runway is the only well maintained section as the rest of the pad is in poor condition. you could taxi around on it as it wasn't super jagged. Good place to practice short field technique.
Cheap fuel
$3.69! First time I ever waited in line for avgas!
Runway extended
As of 3/19/19 it appears the runway has been extended. Not sure how long it is now but probably >4000 ft total
On top of a hill
From the sky I was concerned about obstacles but after landing and taking off it is clear there are t really any on either end. Pattern altitude is higher than usual because of the hills/towers surrounding the field.
Birds and trees!
When I was there in March there were thousands of birds just northwest of the runway. Obstacles on both ends so make sure to check your POH!
Narrow runway
First third of both runways was well paved with the middle section being older. At only 30 ft wide this was tricky to do with a crosswind
New runway under construction!
When I landed on 3/2/19 it appeared the new runway just northwest of the old field was not yet operational. It had lines and numbers painted but there was something yellow on the end of each runway which I assume was a canvas X that the wind had blown into a bunch. I landed at the original field no problem.
Cheap gas!
Runway in good condition, need to back taxi to get to the start of 36
Awesome
Agreed with what @Komatoast said
Great Airport
Line service was very friendly and helpful. Had to emergency land here due to ice and Approach was a life-saver!
Obstacles
Watch out for the tall towers just north of the field. I think traffic for RWY 10 is right for this reason. Also if taking RWY 10 note the mature trees/telephone poles right at the end of the RWY. The trees look to be taller than 50' and are maybe 30ft from the end of the runway so plan accordingly.
(no subject)
The trees are taller than they appear. Know your short field performance and maybe don't take off at gross weight if its close. Bonanza V35 at gross was too close for comfort on takeoff.
airpark?

looked like a really nice airpark community has been recently built here
