As Dave Nadler suggests, checking with Gregg Mecklenburg (Bozeman, MT)would be a good idea. Greg can also tell you about flying at Bozeman, about 100 miles north of W Yellowstone.

Four of us flew out of West Yellowstone a couple years ago and got very poor treatment from the airport manager.

Three of us flew out of Driggs and Bozeman last month. Make arrangements ahead. Both places are scenery paradises, but, as usual, how far you can go into the mountains/park depend on soaring conditions.

I would like to hear-direct- from any pilots who have used the West Yellowstone, WY airport for soaring flights. I am particularly interested in airport facilities, airport procedures and acceptability for multiple aero tow launches. What are the soaring conditions like? Time of year you were there, etc.?



Our group is considering taking our tow plane there for a couple of weeks next summer.
