We landed at "Baker International Airport" which is just south of downtown on the west side of the highway. No control tower. Just a wind sock and a metal shed for somebody's airplane (your FIL's??).<br /><br />And true story: in 1972 my dad and a pilot flew their F-4 out from Hill AFB in UT to the Snake Valley and buzzed the valley and my grandma's ranch. Biggest excitement there in years. He flew so low I felt like I could reach out and touch the jet.G.

Uncle Buck & his buddy made me sit in the front seat to get the full experience of flying with nothing but trees and water as far as the eye could see. What an experience! <br /><br />gutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670419199327567458.post-66178352962500829062009-09-08T20:58:01.028-07:002009-09-08T20:58:01.028-07:00I can't say as I blame him.
