All Airstrip Reports
WOW!!!! The newly graded Rustler is now one of the BEST strips around!! Nice and wide (like maybe 40'!!), a bit dusty, but not that soft! You can spot the runway several miles out! It's such a picturesque location. AND...bonus...a new windsock!! Dead calm this morning so I took the opportunity to take off and land in both directions to check it out. Parking area in the middle for camping. I've been told you can hike down to the Colorado (a couple of miles), so that's on the short list for next time I'm there! Thanks to Steve Durtcshi for overseeing this improvement on a special airstrip to me personally!
I landed here. A lady who stated she was the owner told me that this airstrip is not allowed to be used. She turned out to be fairly nice but asked me to pass this info on
Strip is in great shape and smoother than most everything else out there. Road to the northwest has been freshly graded so be aware of the lip at the northwest side of the strip. Landed both directions, but uphill to the southeast suggested when winds support it. No windsock found on the white pole in the tree north side midfield.
Rain runoff damage from the north down to approximately mid strip. Possibly landable with 29s or larger, but ruts are deep enough to limit directional stability on the ground. Ruts are deepest to the east side of the strip, but do cross to the center line. Camping area looks great. Ruts are deeper than the images depict.
