  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - View is down runway and to the north.42E is seen departing in the best direction toward the lake. Keep in mind that prop damage (with some tricycle planes) is possible due to gravel runway. - by S B J by S B J
  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - Lake Pillsbury looking west. Because of the mountainous terrain,1Q5 is not pilot friendly when windy. A 25 kt wind contributed to a fatal C172 accident on 5-8-82. At one time there was a cross wind runway which could have helped this unfortunate pilot. - by S B J by S B J
  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - N9078E at the north end of runway.View is to the SW, down the runway and to the lake. While not an absolute one way strip, it is best to take off toward the lake as most pilots do. - by S B J by S B J
  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - N3942E in the early morning light ready to depart Gravelly Valley. The air this fall morning was excellent. Sometimes wish you could capture the moment in a bottle. This was one of those moments! - by S B J by S B J
