I am honestly shocked and blown away this exists in the sim now. It was at least a decade ago, and I was doing my medical residency at Portneuf Hospital in Pocatello. I was going through a horrible breakup at the time with a long-term partner, and would often head up to this area to get away from things and think. I believe there was a Boy Scout camp right around here, which is what you're seeing that AI pick up, as there are also those Jamboree gazebo and campgrounds right on the way into the Scout Mountain parking area.
Either way, I'm legitimately beyond thankful and appreciative that you took the time to model this in the sim. From one human to another, I very much appreciate having this to go back and explore over a decade later and in a much healthier place in my life!

Very nice and fun airstrip. Just a quick hop from Lava Mountain ID. Took a trip in the just flight Arrow and the cowan H125 this morning to this airstrip.

Duke, not sure why there's not much traffic for this, but this is a hoot. Super job and there's a whole bunch to explore and I can see where this could turn into a never-ending project for you. The possibilities are endless. Excellent work and I can see where you have a ton of time invested.
Anyhow, I finally was able to land the AN-2 (with performance mod) in 160 deg. direction and took off 330. Takeoff wasn't scary... the landing...hmmm let's say about half dozen tries before nailing it. Thank you... looking forward to any additions to this... (OH, BTW, what's with that box truck crossing the landing strip??)
TheDukeNewcomb author
AN2 is very challenging to land here, nice! The box truck is probably because of the roads that existed in sim before I made the scenery. I guess I didn't notice because i have all sim traffic off, but i will have a look! Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoy it!
