Our plans to head to Iowa State for the football game fell thru, so I found myself with no place to go on a beautiful Saturday. I have been wanting to check out a little strip on the edge of a big lake up north, and thought this might just be the day. Quick call to flight service confirmed the Wx was fine, if not a bit gusty, so I bought a sandwich and juice, and headed north to Bowstring (9Y0) - about 150nm
Visibility was marginal....
Pretty sure this lake north of Aitkin was created by something from outer space....
Here is the destination:
Bowstring is beautiful!! Carved right out of the forest. Runway in great shape.
Official DOT sign.....
Picnic on the stabilizer. Terminal building in the backgroud. Toilet, kitchen, hot showers, and cell phone!
Fishing at the end of the runway........
Ready to depart....
I will be back....
Time to go....
New place added to the fun airport list!!!
