I was wondering if anyone knows the name and owner of the strip that sits NE of Spiral Jetty close to the mountain. It is a North/South strip with a good turn around on each end. I thought that it would be on the Google Earth layover, but isn't. It is however visible on Google Earth.

41°29'31.51"N
112°35'29.00"W

Anyway, I flew over it a week or so ago and it looks like it is in very good shape. I'd like to go check it out.

Thanks.

Thanks Rocky. I didn't think of looking on AOPA's RTFP. As soon as I saw that it had a UT identifier, it dawned on me to look they. Nor did I think about airnav.com.

Anyway, thanks for finding it.

I have more landings on the Fort Ranch strip than any other strip excluding home base. It's deluxe with a capitol D. The owner flys his PC-12 into there and jumps in his Hummer that lives it that garage on the strip. I do some work for those guys and have had permission to use the strip for several years now. Your best chance for permission might be to come to the horse sale in June, although I don't know of anyone other than the owner that flys into the sale. You can find an email to the boss on thier website.
