  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - Pillsbury on one of many flights there.View is to the southeast. - 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 Lake Pillsbury in late winter with the lake at near capacity. - 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
  • Gravelly Valley Airport (1Q5) - Right down the runway to the north and several visiting aircraft which included a Cessna 310. This 310 pilot put on a little airshow which was very impressive to say the least! Notice pickup crossing runway so be prepared when landing for this possibility - by S B J by S B J
