Backcountry Pilots yearly fly-in at the grass field at Johnson Creek, ID (3U2) happens this weekend the 22nd-24th. It's a well attended and well established fly-in with interesting characters and airplanes in gorgeous mountain terrain. Many of the RAF (Rectreational Aviation Foundations) members will also be in attendance.
It will mainly be various bush planes and singles attending, but there has been a few Barons, Widgeons etc as well in past years. If the weather co-operates I will fly the 520 in on Friday and stay the weekend. Airport is 3500ft long, so should suit most of the lighter Commanders. Airfiled is at almost 5000ft, but shouldn't be a problem with a bit of fuel planning. And as we know, grass is something the Commaders excel on!
It would be great to see another couple of Commanders there, so if you're free, have money for fuel and fancy sleeping in the plane or in a tent - drop by! There's a potluck dinner on Saturday, so just bring some contribution for that. I'll make sure the weight and balance stays far aft with the beer kegs!
Hope to see another Commander!

Here's my too fast third approach into Johnson Creek last weekend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73ahGuriGWY&list=UUTrG-tHJbJT5lt1lkIXvXNw&index=1&feature=plcp
I had a blast - slept in the cabin, grilled and cooked on my camping stove and watched a constant parade of bush planes take off and land all weekend. Even some Mooney's, Cirrii and Bonanzas made it in, but sadly, I was the only twin. Made loads of new friends and I will def be back next year. Even though the field elevation was 5000ft and the rwy 3500ft, I was off in less than half with two stages of flaps and 2hrs of fuel. This leads me to believe that there is virtually no Commander that couldn't safely get in and out of here. Even an 685 would be able to, I think.
Which leads me to the question - is there any interest amongst the Commander group to do our own grass strip and camping meet in the future?

Thanks JimBob!
Here we are taking off one evening from Johnson Creek. Someone filmed it and thankfully sent me a link.
