Description
Welcome to the Flying B Ranch!
The ranch is located on the Middle Fork Salmon River in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho.
Beside a lodge and some cabins, which can accommodate up to 40 guests,
it also has a private 2100 foot grass airstrip to cater for any pilots flying in the Idaho backcountry.
Its elevation of 3600 feet and the steep terrain on all sides of the airstrip, makes this a challenging airstrip to fly into and out of.
Since it's a private strip, you'll need permission prior to landing. In addition, backcountry and mountain flying experience is a must.
All operations are at your own risk.
Pilots land and take-off both upstream and downstream, so announce your intentions on the multicom frequency 122.9,
which also is often monitored by ranch personal.
However, recommended landing and take-off is downstream due to terrain avoidance and a safer go-around.
Take care of ground operations while landing downstream, the parking area is very close to the runway threshold.
Also be cautious of Bernard USFS Airstrip U54 traffic located less than a mile north of the ranch.
Do not land on the grass area next to the actual runway. This area is not well maintained and has several obstacles.

Happy Flying!
Notes:
This is the second airstrip, which uses a lot of custom objects and even my first buildings.
Since I'm still very new to creating custom objects, it took me quite some time and may not be perfect, but I still hope you like it.
I tried to re-create the landing strip based on photographs and video material I found, however, what I found was very limited, so I made my best to re-create it.
Please do not share, copy, re-distribute etc. the objects I've created.
If you really want, ask for permission first please.
