“What’s the deal on this next strip?”
I look at the marked page in my “Fly Idaho” backcountry flight guide. “Orogrande,” I answer. “Elevation 4405. Runway is either one or one-nine, 2900 feet long. Notes say ‘New tree growth on sides of runway limit usable width to 50 feet.'” I glance out the window at the long stretch of yellow wing extending into the Idaho mountain air. “What’s your wingspan, again?”
