Hey all, Speaking of flying, my stepson will be taking the Aviation classes offered through Granite School District's GTI program, along with SLCC. It sounds like this is a pretty good program, and I believe it gets home pretty close to coming out of high school with his pilot's license and a start on a degree in Aviation. Anyway, if anyone has any tips or suggestions for him, or knows of ways he can work off some of the cost of flying, or even places he can just go and meet people who may be able to pass on knowledge, please let me know. He's not starting until next Fall, and regardless of cost, we'll make this happen for him, but tips and contacts are always good things. I'm just happy we finally found 'the' thing to get his interest piqued. Thanks, Mike Wells On Nov 27, 2012 9:17 PM, "Wiggins Patrick" <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Hi Brent,
I don't think I'll be landing there any time soon. Note where it said that the airstrip is no longer usable and severely eroded.
But if you do try it whats say you send pictures. Might be a nice spot to drive to for star gazing.

Wow, Patrick. That is a long runway. It is 5200 feet long an 100 feet wide. I bet the east end is still landable. The road looks to be well maintained. I probably wouldn't hesitate to use it. The road on the east portion is 3200 feet long and slopes uphill to the west. The west end looks to be about 20 feet higher. It is not in the Utah Back Country Pilots database. I'll have to get it added.
BTW, the Green River, Wyoming airport is still known as the Greater Green River Intergallactic Spaceport.
