  • 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 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. - by S B J by S B J

  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - N39932 at Lake Pillsbury in 1991. View is to the north and down the runway. Most pilots take off in the opposite direction toward the lake to avoid the higher terrain. Notice driftwood near 932 which is from high water. - by S B J by S B J
