  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - 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 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) - 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) - 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 by S B J
