Jay,
Actually, Gaston's is here in Northern Arkansas.

Should you decide to fly into Gaston's, you should do some homework on
their strip. Some have had fatal accidents attempting to land or depart
Gaston's. The problem is cliffs (bluffs), trees and power lines.

Gaston's would otherwise be a wonderful get-a-way.

At times, some of the local R/Cer's go there to fly their models.

See - http://www.gastons.com/


There are four airstrips all in close proximity here. Baxter County
(BPK), Flippin (FLP), Valley (private) & Gaston's (3M0).

The Arkansas Department of Aeronautics has (free) Aeronautical Charts available
(for planning purposes). Contact them at " " to
request a free chart.

Every year, since his feet could reach the pegs, my son and I have done a
motorcycle camping trip together.

This year, at age 13, his feet can comfortably reach the rudder pedals -- so
now we're talking about doing a flying/camping trip, too.

Can anyone suggest a fly-in campground within, say 500 miles of Iowa City?
I know of a few in Kentucky (Kentucky Dam and Lake Barkley), and one in
Missouri (Gaston's Resort) -- but can anyone recommend any of these (or
others) in particular?

Thanks!
