 - 932 in the early morning light.My last camping at Furnace Ck due to Park Service change to no airport camping.Perhaps in the past it was no big deal and not enforced? I guess all good things come to an end... - by S B J

 - 932 in the early morning.After 20 consecutive years,the Park service felt its against regulations for a tent next to your plane, thus this was my last plane camping in (at L06) DV.Have flown through and driven to DV since,but its not the same. - by S B J

 - Furnace Creek looking to the south. While DV is definitely not for everyone,I have always been fascinated by the Death Valley landscape and there is no better way to see it but from a plane! - by S B J

 - View from the tiedown area toward the  runway and to the NW. Visibility is often unlimited.Frist time flying into D V,pilots will be amused to see the altimeter go below zero by some 200 feet and a 600 ft pattern (altimeter) is in order. - by S B J

 - Another view of Furnace creek. This is around 1994. Late fall is a fantastic time to fly to DV. Spring can be good or bad  and summer being unbearable. - by S B J
