Join the fun! 9S7 has changed to 60' X 4000' PAVED running basically 10º - 28º. Paving is completed but the new grass on the turf strip has just been replanted. WE CAN'T LAND ON THE TURF STRIP THIS YEAR WITH THIS NEW GRASS!! The strip rises gently uphill from the east to the west. If wind conditions allow, land planes east to west. Down hill landings aren't bad...just a little longer than you are used to. Use 122.9 as the CTAF.

Breaks strips: All 6 strips run generally E - W and are between 1200 - 3000'. The shortest is Woodhawk at ca. 1000'. The longest is a private strip called Heller Bottom which is the only strip right on the Missouri River in the Breaks. Although private, we are welcomed at Heller by Loren Smith the owner. Loren has also installed some picnic tables and a small one-roomed KOA type cabin (first come first served). Use 122.9 to announce in the backcountry and 123.45 for chatter. Although we consider these strips relatively easy for backcountry fliers, a couple of airplanes have been bent in the reaks (no injuries). It is backcountry....always have your "A" game on and look to avoid surprises.

Meals: Friday night is catered bar-b-q and fixins.... ca. $15/ plate.
Saturday morning is flyin to Lewistown (up the Judith River....beautiful!!) to Lewistown for pancakes and LWT flyin.
Saturday night is hangar-burgers and fixins catered....ca. $15/plate
Other meals are on your own. The Winifred store (ancient Croatian stone mason built) has food makings and great sandwiches. The Winifred Bar is famous with pilots... greatest hamburgers ever made... and beer if you are through flying.

Other than the flight up the Judith River, there are no planed flyouts....that could change if there is interest. There are plenty of pilots here willing to lead you to the strips, and all strips are now on the maps. We facilitate your visit here to the Missouri Breaks and make you as comfortable as possible.
