Gravelly Valley Airport, View is from the south to the north-northwest and Hull Mt with its winter covering of snow. This picture shows why for some aircraft, it is a one way strip. Good size hill to climb over.

- Lake Pillsbury looking west. Because of the mountainous terrain,1Q5 is not pilot friendly when windy. A 25 kt wind contributed to a fatal C172 accident on 5-8-82. At one time there was a cross wind runway which could have helped this unfortunate pilot. - by S B J

- This picture shows the road that crosses the south end of runway.While there are stop signs,vehicles do not always stop.Landing, a pilot should be prepared for this!!Seen more then one pilot startled when a car appeared when landing. - by S B J

- N9078E at Gravelly Valley around 1977-78 and showing a large hangar that was once there. It was gone by the mid 80s. Uncertain if it was a private hangar or not as 1Q5 was an active air tanker base ( during fire season ) at one time. - by S B J
