Another great video from Dan Linebarger. Here is his commentary: "Attached is an approach into Big Creek Idaho (U60). Best approach into this strip (wind permitting) is from the North, landing on Runway 19. The runway is higher on both ends, low in the middle. Therefore, be prepared and set up to land on a surface that is sloping away from you on landing. Tie downs and closet toilet are on the south end. This was my first landing here and the approach should have been a bit higher. It's an easy walk to Big Creek Lodge. Great outfitter and good food. Aircraft is a 1959 C-172 180hp C/S prop. My co-Pilot and cameraman is Clyde Watson, also from Midland, TX.

  • I do hope your engine doesn't spit on you when you come into these places so low. Just above the tree tops is not a wise position on such an approach. Big Creek is like a huge airport, and could be approached from a safer pattern on final giving you some more options if that engine spits.

  • I care, reagan is correct.

    "If you miss the trees on an approach by one inch, you still missed the trees!"
