DRIGGS AIRPORT MAKES CHANGES IN LIEU OF JACKSON HOLE AIRPORT’S TEMPORARY CLOSURE

Our neighbors at the Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) will be closed from April 11 to June 27, 2022 for runway repairs.  New Landing Fees and other noise abatement measures aim to mitigate the impact of increased plane traffic during the closure.

Approach flying like a fighter pilot with Angle of Attack

Every sortie in the Navy we trained to use our Angle of Attack (AoA) indicator in all our flight regimes, especially landing aboard the aircraft carrier.  Even in general aviation (GA), flying with an AoA indicator is a safer, more precise and more comfortable way to fly.  This is especially true in the backcountry.  This article will explain why.

How not to start learning aerobatics!

Let us start by saying perhaps I did not choose the easiest route and I never expected to fully embrace aerobatics because, I hate to admit it, but I was afraid of flying.  I had no problem building and flying R/C planes but putting my life in a real plane that I was in charge of seemed to be where I drew the line.

Youth flight opportunities

There are several opportunities organized by the local Experimental Aircraft Association in Teton Valley for young people to fly for free.
