- 932 at 1Q5 with view down the runway and to the north. For planes like 932 ( for me ) it was a two way strip, but for a heavy C172 it is definitely one way only, at least for takeoff . The snow is on Hull Mt. which is 6873 feet. - by S B J

- This picture shows the road that crosses the south end of runway.While there are stop signs,vehicles do not always stop.Landing, a pilot should be prepared for this!!Seen more then one pilot startled when a car appeared when landing. - by S B J

- 69E at the north end of field with a winter view of Hull Mt.Now that 1Q5 is very near the new Berryessa Snow Mt National Monument,what will happen to 1Q5? I wonder.Monuments have a habit of expanding with all thier restrictions! - by S B J

- Camping at Lake Pillsbury,Ca in 1992. The wonderful C172 made this (bring Honda) possible.There are a lot of miles of dirt road to explore around the lake and to the top of Mt Hull. - by S B J

- 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
