West Desert Airpark, Utah

Awesome trip to Utah this week, got some work done on my plane and flew to some cool strips. Mineral Canyon was a trip flying into it and Ibex dry lake is like another planet. Good times, good people. Mark Pringle is an awesome resource if you have an S7 and need help, thanks Mark! Francois and Brian were super cool to show me around, thanks to them too!

Re: West Desert Airpark, Utah

I like those hangars! Are they wide enough to fit a "standard" airplane? By that I mean 36' wide or so wingspan, so 39-40' doors.
A guy I know bought an S6 Coyote that the West Desert guys had built, the workmanship was very nice.

Mark and crew are awesome folks and there workmanship is incredible. The hangars are plenty big? Although don't know the exact size. The usually have 2 or 3 airplanes being built in one of them at any given time. Mark owns the place and has tenants as well. Nice pilots lounge with snacks, TV, couch, etc. he also has premiiumm Mogas on the field.

You want to see fun, check out his new 912S equipped fully aerobatic S-9 Chaos. Pure flying fun and some pretty serious acro performance!

Mark and crew built my S6-ES and I get compliments on the fit and finish everywhere I go. He is a super nice guy and an honest dealer. Check out the S7 turbo he has there as well.

Re: West Desert Airpark, Utah

Those hangars are huge, most have two or more airplanes in them, I also dont know the dimensions but I think the doors are at least 40ft. They are super nice, some are insulated and have space for a huge loft. Cool place, cool people!
