Does anyone here have this book? Does it have any info that can't be found on a chart or in Montana's airport directory? I was considering picking up a copy, because I'm curious if there are any fun/interesting places to land around the Bozeman / SW Montana area that aren't on the chart.

Any input appreciated, thanks!

Lots of gravel bar all around that area

I have it dont waste you money, just shows public airports on the charts, the montana AFD is just as good You can borrow it if you want

That's what I was afraid of...darn. And I've got the MT AFD so I'll definitely pass on buying it, thanks for the info.

Haha, ya I wish, just trade me planes...

If you are just looking for places to land...Galen's book is not much additional help. It is, however, a great way to increase appreciation and enjoyment of the places you do land. There is a history and back story to almost every place in the book which Galen digs out. Technically, there are hints about approaches, surfaces, and other information you won't find in a chart. If you are going to use a chart ... be sure to get a Montana DOT-Aeronautics WAC chart for Montana. There are many more airstrips on that chart than on the sectional. It was worth the money to me.

yeah I bought it a long time ago and I spent more time in the info section than on the strip pages since most of them are paved... but a few are dirt and it's nice to get a picture of where you'[re going....
