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!, photo by S B J

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., photo by S B J

1Q5, N9078E at Gravelly Valley around 1977-78 and showing a large hangar that was once there. It was gone by the mid 80s. Uncertain if it was a private hangar or not as 1Q5 was an active air tanker base ( during fire season ) at one time., photo by S B J
